Reading "The Real Fling" was a very nice way to spend a few hours. I thought that Trevor and Samantha (a.k.a. Sam) finding true love with each other despite their cultural differences and their individual emotional scars was very sweet. (I know something about cross-cultural relationships because I am Jewish and Israeli/American and my husband of 29 years is a first generation Chinese American and an atheist.) I found all the characters to have vibrant, complex personalities and following their story held my interest from the first page until the last one. I really liked the dialogues, not only between Samantha and Trevor but also between Samantha and Claire and the banter between Trevor and Mason. Both the verbal and non-verbal interactions helped to bring the story to life. There were some editing mistakes but I think that they were minor and didn't interrupt the flow of the story. Overall, I enjoyed reading this story and if you are looking for a nice, contemporary love story I think you should give this one a try. Happy reading!
