TRUST IN ME is a very nice love story between two very likable people in a small college town in South Carolina. Although Kevin is not particularly handsome, he is strong-minded, honorable, caring and sensitive which more than make up for the fact that he is poor and has many obligations (except in his own mind). Claire is very beautiful but she is also determined, considerate and sweet and her goal is to prove that she can be independent of the wealth and class that she was born into. (If she can find someone who loves her for herself, that would be an unexpected bonus.) There are only a few characters to keep track of and all of them have well-defined and complex personalities. The dialogue is authentic and fun to read while the imagery is very graphic and realistic. The writing is smooth and flows easily from beginning to end. The plot is a bit predictable but I didn't mind because this story is exactly what it claims to be: a contemporary romance. I thought the ending was too abrupt and I would have liked to see more detail in the last chapter. Overall, though, I enjoyed reading this story and I would definitely recommend it to others who like this genre.
