Review: Very simple writing is (partially) rescued by steamy sex scenes

"What do you like to eat?""Fruit is always good.  Do you like fruit?"  She rubbed her hands over her thighs, walking towards the fruit."Yes, I like some fruit."  Tom followed pushing the cart.I was not initially sure for what audience this book was intended.  The writing and plot are both very simplistic and would probably not appeal to most adults.  I think the writing is below even the YA level.  But with the sexual content and age of the characters, it's certainly not for children.Tom, aka "the rockstar", encounters Arianna at the restaurant where she waits tables.  The two flirt, and at the end of the night, Tom asks Ari to go on tour as his assistant.  She yells that she's not a whore, and he then asks her to be his girlfriend.  Very strange interaction between two adults; not since I was a tween or young teen have I heard of a boy asking a girl (let alone a man asking a woman) to be his girlfriend.  A bit later, there is a lengthy discussion of Arianna's virginity.  It was emphasized that she is completely ignorant of even the most basic aspects of sex and seemed unbelievable for a twenty year old in today's world.  All of this caused me to be completely shocked when the couple start to have some very graphic sex.  Where did THAT come from, I wondered.  The writing really picked up steam here (pun intended) and seemed like it was from a different author.The rest of the book is sex, misunderstandings, more sex, pouting, apologizing, and even more sex.There are some grammatical errors but they are not that bad, considering the writing level.  There are also a few spelling issues, such as desert, rather than dessert.If you are looking  for a thought-provoking story, it won't be found here.  But you can certainly find some pretty decent sex scenes in abundance.  The story rates no more than two stars due to the writing level, but the sex scenes are worthy of at least a solid three.
