This was a pretty good book, but the leading character Grey was a bit too much.  The entire time she was either crying or throwing up.  Dawson put up with a ton of crap for a guy of his supposed caliber.  He was constantly chasing her down and trying to tell her how he felt about her while she wouldn't listen.  Quite the turn around really.Grey was a preacher's daughter looking to spread her wings farther than her hometown of Macon, Georgia so she decides to pack it up and move to L.A.  Her preacher dad of course objects to this, so they pretty much cut ties right then and there.  Reminded me a lot of Footloose, all Grey wanted to do was dance.  Little did she know when she got to L.A. there was a different kind of dancing in her future.  Grey ends up dancing at a seedy strip club to pay for her schooling.  After one dance for a mega-movie star, her world is turned upside down.Dawson is drawn to Grey, he likes her innocent yet seductive look.  He is a movie actor looking for a big comeback after a few bumps in the Hollywood road.  Dawson sees Grey or Gracie as she is known when she is topless at the strip club, in the V.I.P. room and decides he has to have her.We are on a speeding roller coaster with them from here on out.  They are together, then she runs, then he catches her and they are together.  This repeats through the book until you just can't handle much more.  Finally they are together, together and then the sexual fireworks start as we are sped through their relationship to the end.I didn't love the book, but didn't hate it either.  I was one of those insta-loves that I didn't feel worked between Grey and Dawson.  The sex scenes were hot, but felt like they were thrown in the end of the book for a grand finale.
