I like to think im a big enough person to admit when I choose a book solely based on its cover. Ive stated so many times in these here eviews. V-card was one such book. I mean that and well Alicia Michaels has yet to let me down.. Spoiler alert She still hasnt. So I received the book from the author and began reading it the same day.. This people should be marked in history because this never happens. If your anything like me and your tbr could wrap around the way 8 times getting to a book can take some time. But I was super excited. I had no idea what the story was and basically I didnt care. Im a rebel that way.So we start off the book with Jennifer Nolan. Almost 21 and ready to toss away her V-card. She didnt seem to have a guy in mind and didnt seem particularly careful about it. She was in no way throwing herself at everything with a penis. Just very eager. After a number of disastrous tempts shes ready to give it another go. I went into this book pretty gung ho! But then I learned all that. And well it sounded very much like a book I read in the past by A.J. Bennett. A book I loved! So my enthusiasm wavered. I wanted to put the book down but I owed it to myself and Michaels shoot maybe even Bennett to see where this story went. Im super excited to tell you that’s where the similarities ended. Trust me I was so relieved, that couldve been a very awkward situation.Jennifer lives in a dorm off campus with her friends. Kinsleys, is super smart and very motivated. Chloe is spoiled but loveable. Christian is super mega hot and well off. And luke is extremely charming. They compliment each other very well. I really liked Chloe, I couldve been Chloe in another life! I want to be spoiled dont judge me. Jennifer is studying to be a nurse and is very focused.So Christian is invited to a family/business gathering and Jennifer offers to be his pretend girlfriend to get his mom off his back. Everything goes off with out a hitch and while his parents believe they are a couple both Christian and Jennifer are quick to let his “friends” know its all for show. Leaving room for him to mingle with the women and Jennifer is lucky enough to me a pretty awesome guy Dain. He even saves her, Awwe. They begin to go out and really start to enjoy each other. Im not sure if Christian ever told his parents he and Jennifer “broke up” but I like to think he did.Things are going well for Jennifer until Luke makes the moves on her. Shes completely taken back and wonders if hes only doing this because Dain is in the picture. Everyone pretty much lets her know shes blind and has been blind to Lukes feelings towards her. Shes slightly confused on how to take this all. I mean who wouldnt be. I have to admit to messaging Alicia and yelling at her about this matter and she was kind enough to let me know she slept with a taser nearby. Yep I totally noted that for the future. Because this is a series after all. BTW the title of the series is Sharing Spaces and well its not that kinda sharing. In case you’ve got a dirty mind lemme just kill that for you now. There were a few juicy things that happened and one hugely juice thing, I was soo disappointed by certain turn of events. And completely ecstatic about some.Im assuming the rest of the series will be about the other roomies and I look forward to their shenanigans. The story while at first scared me played with my emotions in wonderful way and gave me something ive long wished for. Now I know im being vague but I really cant spoil the story for you.
