21 year old Roxy is a virgin who has only been on two dates. She wins tickets to see boy band Two Way Street even though she has never heard of them. She takes her young cousin and her friends and whilst backstage she meets a good looking boy called Ever and doesn't realise he is a member of the band until her cousin tells her. A note is sent to Roxy by Ever asking her to come backstage again but she says no she has to take the girls home. Ever gets her full name from the tickets she had won and researches her and does a background check on her. He turns up at her home and asks her out on a date. They arrange it for a few weeks time and it just so happens Roxy's parents are away for the weekend so little Miss Virgin Roxy is a very forward young virgin and has sex with Ever but oh dear, these silly young kids forgot to use protection...six weeks later, Roxy finds out she is pregnant. Has she never heard of the morning after pill?!I can see the author had a good idea for this book, but it is all a bit unrealistic. Ever doesn't come across like a rock star and even says she is his first girlfriend. He's a bit of a drip and not sexy at all. The author writes Roxy in first person and Ever in a strange kind of third person. This entails 'Ever opened the door, Ever got in the shower, Ever dried himself'. It got a bit annoying. She would have been better writing him in first person as well.The author needed to 'show' rather than 'tell'. We are just told how Roxy's parents reacted to the news of her pregnancy. We read about it when they tell his parents and again we are just told about it when they tell the band. At the scan they get another surprise and then Sam the Band's Manager is not happy about the news of the pregnancy and worried it will destroy the band he tries to make trouble for the pair. More could have been made of this but that part of the storyline was a bit rushed. Afer that they are just dealing with Ever being away with his band etc and the tabloids. The story jumps along..three months later etc. There is not really much about Ever and his band.For a virgin, Roxy soon gets into the swing of sex including oral sex and numerous positions and she orgasms everytime (even the first time when she lost her virginity!). There are quite a lot of sex scenes and quite a few that take place in her parents home! Her parents very rarely make an appearance in the story.I think the author has potential. If the book had been longer it may have worked better. An OK read for a freebie.
