*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*Final verdict: 3.5 starsAll right Hooker Readers, he we go ya'll! (Warning: there will be spoilers)Upon seeing the name and cover art of this book, I was quite intrigued. Then I read the first chapter and was like "Oh boy, what did I get myself into?!". All the text talk was very over the top and quite annoying at first. Especially the word "zomg!", it has to go.Being the loyal Book Whore that I am, I pushed on and was determined to give Blaire Reese a real shot. Chapter 2 got my attention and I had to know what happened next.Blaire was a hot college student in academia limbo. Unable to find her niche in any particular area of study. She had raw talent in terms of using her womanly ways to charm the pants off men. As much as she enjoyed sex, it certainly wasn't anything that would earn her a college degree. Enter her Psychology professor who recognized her special abilities and recommended her to the CIA for Project Cathouse.This top secret project consists of 30 gorgeous people who just happen to be amazing in the sack. They're put up in a swanky mansion, where they're trained in all things seduction in order to gather intel from terrorists. They basically become sex ninjas, all for the love of America.As part of her training, Blaire was assigned a seduction mentor referred to as Mr. Lucky. I absolutely loved his character and all the wisdom that poured out of his mouth. All that talk about learning to yield your womanly powers, had me wanting to sign up to receive classes from him!In true Real World style, there are cliques, random hookups and rivalries. Here we meet Sabrina the self proclaimed Queen Bee. Also part of the gang is Drummond, the sexiest manly man alive, who just so happens to be Sabrina's husband! That was a WTF moment, didn't see that coming at all! My heart broke for Blaire, when she found out the horrible news. Then she goes and declares her love to him and we find out he loves her back! Naturally, I'm all OMG, YAY...now they can ride off into the sunset, right? WRONG! Well sort of. In true Britney Spears form, the book ends with a "1, 2, 3, Blaire, Sabrina and Drummond" flare, which totally shocked me...in a good way. The ending was unexpected with a non-traditionally happy way, yet completely appropriate.I fell in love with Blaire Reese, she totally reminds me of a redneck extra ghetto (is that redundant or what!) version of Britney Spears with all the ya'll-ing she did. She was a very fun character to read and so enthusiastic...she would often get a bit carried away with the "AHHHHHHHHH". Then there were classic lines such as "bitch be trippin'", "bitches be learnin' how to cut a fool" and one of my favorites "hair dun, nails dun, everything dun."Although It took me a hot second to get into this book, I'm glad I stuck with it. In a nut shell, it was a refreshing read about a college girl with a huge heart who found love in a very unexpected place. Since this is the story of how Blaire became a patriotic whore, I'd really like to see how she performs in the field.Which leads to the epilogue...WTF was that?! I need more!On an extremely random side note...I thoroughly enjoyed the homage or jab at Twilight with the Isabella character.Yours Truly,Colombian Hooker Reader :)
