Rating: 4 out of 5

This celebrity romance novel has interesting career details that other books about an ordinary girl and a famous boy meeting and falling in love do not have.  Olivia Bloom has an economics degree but her passion has always been artistic.  She has a great sense of style, and while she is not the most technically qualified candidate of the 150 her boss interviews for her lingerie business, Olivia is hired for the talents she has putting elements of a piece all together.  Her mom plays an interesting role in this story, one who supports and encourages her daughter and will help her along a path if asked.  The rock star love interest, Berkeley, is naturally reserved and shy.  He has a second, more outgoing persona that he takes on for his performing and interviews.  With Olivia he is honest and comfortable -- he can write his music when she's around, and he comes up with one interesting date at the Farmers Market.  Otherwise they spend their alone time watching t.v. (kind of disappointing).  I wanted a little more from this relationship -- a little more dialog, a little more time off with the band, something.  Maybe a little more hard-to-get and testing the waters from Olivia, putting Berkeley through his paces.  For some reason, I do not have a clear picture of what he looks like.  I guess I needed a little more time with Berkeley.
