I really liked this book. Samanthe Beck did a good job in telling the story. She was able to make me feel with the characters and believe what she was telling me.And in my mind Trevor was freaking hot. I liked that he just asked Katie out. Not the usual drama about I'm not good enough for her and I got the hots for her but I don't act on it. He was a guy from the start. I don't know if you know what I'm trying to say with that... Let me say it like that, he asked her out because they obviously had chemistry. Just how it's supposed to be. Of course if it would always be like that we wouldn't have romance novels but it was nice for a change.Not that she agreed but it was a start ;) which I really liked. It made the story a lot more plausible than in some other novels where you get the feeling the author desperately tried to create drama.What I didn't like about the book was Katie's magical ability to dance in a strip club. For a virgin with no guy contact whatsoever she did an awfully good job at seducing all men with her pole dance and striptease. The way I read it Stacy just told her how to do it and she performed perfectly after that. I can somehow relate to the I-am-a-virgin-through-and-through-with-twenty-eight character Katie is. The way Samanthe Beck reasons this is somehow comprehensible. But how she is able to dance like a pro is beyond my reason. That's also why I had to reduce one star in my rating.This played such a major role in the story that I couldn't ignore it.Furthermore the characters could have been a bit more developed. I would have liked to get to know them a bit better. I felt that to base all of Katie's behavior on her mother's constantly changing relationships and then not get into this a bit deeper and provide more information was a bit lacking. Some more insight into the twins' life before they left for Hollywood would have been nice.
