In Annihilate Me (Vol. 1) (The Annihilate Me Series), Jennifer is a savvy girl who knows her self-worth.  I like that.  I also appreciated her not being all about her own beauty and success.  Just self-assured. I like my friends to be confident and spunky, so I immediately related to Jennifer - especially since my upbringing was a little less than fabulous. Women who have to work twice as hard to get ahead, seem much more solid than those handed everything on a platter.  Jennifer is a fighter, but when she found herself in need of a job and in a bit of a pickle, she weighed her options.  Enter Alexander, the billionaire who wants to pay Jennifer to pretend she's his girlfriend.This story gets better with each page, proving Christina Ross is a remarkable author who can hook a reader and keep them interested. I highly recommend her to all women, especially those who love romance that isn't super erotic or super mushy.  Annihilate Me is smart chick-lit, which is why I don't like to see it compared to 50 Shades, because the first installation of 50 was written so poorly, I never read another.  I know it's a best seller being made into a movie, but the first one was so sophomoric I laughed out loud.  Sorry to offend lovers of the series, but I prefer more plausible story lines.With this being said, I'm eager to read more from Ms. Ross and have put the remaining Volumes on my Wish List. I noticed a couple of typos, but when a story is face paced with enticing writing, I overlook trivial things.
