Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 7, 2014
This is the story of 2 young adults on a college campus and the ins and outs of sorority and fraternity life that make up a significant part of their college experience. Alexis is a wealthy beautiful young lady who is expected to pledge to the same sorority that her mother did, despite wishing to go her own way. Zach is a houseboy, working to pay for his college life at the same house where Alexis is accepted. There's a no fraternization rule between the sisters and the houseboys - but can these two heed the rule or will their attraction for each other result in disaster?I really enjoyed this book! I found the descriptions of sorority life quite fascinating as this was all new to me, having never experienced this type of campus life. Alexis is a very likeable young woman, caring and fun and trying to make the best of a situation she doesn't want to be in , namely being in a sorority house just because it is expected of her. Though she would like to defy her parents, she knows that she needs their support to go to school. Zach is equally personable, a young man with a tragedy in his past that defines who he is now and the circumstances he finds himself in. He's a caring and concerned individual, friendly to all the sisters and willing to help them in any situation. The sexual attraction between Zach and Alexis is evident from their first meeting and the gradual evolution of their relationship is delightful to read. The love scenes are steamy and well written.The behind the scenes look at college life in general - the use of alcohol, the peer pressure, the expectations of others, is quite eye opening and gives a true sense of what really goes on. Secondary characters add an interesting dynamic to the mix and round out the story. I found the book difficult to put down, wanting to know how Zach and Alexis could make their relationship work in what seemed like an impossible situation. I will definitely be looking for more from this author! 4.5 stars!
