Review: Decker & Andi
Rating: 4 out of 5

I wondered while reading the first half of this book why it received such high ratings. It is a cute story but Decker really is crass & says very inappropriate things. Then I got the appeal when Decker finds his real connection with Andi & Decker becomes every girl's dream! Andi is Decker's best friend's cousin, a red-haired geeky girl he knew for years. When he picks her up from the airport & helps her settle into her new bookstore in SoHo Decker can't believe how Andi has changed. She comes from Texas with her cute cowboy boots & big heart & even bigger personality, but her ugly-duckling insecurities from her childhood still exist along with her long-time crush on Decker. Decker was a porn sensation & he is used to the casualness of his nudity & like I said, he is inappropriate & way out there with his sexuality. This gets him in trouble in the end when Andi catches him in a compromising position after she finds out he wasn't completely honest with her. At this point Decker is head over heels even if he doesn't know how to label his love for Andi. He wants to be in retirement from his "acting" career but he wasn't sure he was going to be the kind of man Andi needed. Losing her suddenly makes everything come to light & he is certain he can't live without Andi! Their relationship might have started out sexual - Decker's "equipment" wasn't working, if he was honest with himself he would have known that his career was boring him & he needed a real woman in his life - and Andi is the first woman in a long time that has "raised" his interest if you get my drift! Andi & Decker have many light moments & loads of laughs together - especially when he shows her his helicopter move! But they also come from opposite worlds & Decker quickly needs to figure out how to show Andi how much he cherishes & adores her - and he does in the sweetest way! I loved Andi's gay neighbors too, so funny! Ended up by surprising me with a great story!
