Sasha Matthews had fallen for Trevor Kingston the moment
they met. Though
her motivation had been more about the superficial --
Trevor's rich,
handsome, and charming -- than about who Trevor is as a
person. After three
years of "secret" dating, Sasha receives a dose of reality
when a photo in the
newspaper society section features Trevor with another
woman. She breaks
up with Trevor and finds solace in the arms of "friendly
acquaintance" Kevin
Merchant, cutie PhD anthropology hopeful. Sasha doesn't
find Kevin a "fiery
desire" like Trevor, but she likes him enough to sleep with
and she opens up
to him about her broken heart. They even get matching
Celtic knot tattoos.
Kevin's feelings for Sasha are stronger than her's for him,
and it it's when her
old boyfriend Trevor returns for a second chance, Kevin is
sure she won't
choose him. When Kevin and Sasha are forced to spend long
hours together
through a work assignment the love sparks fly, and while
Sasha tries to deny
her feelings for Kevin she eventually learns to make tough
life choices.
This is a short, sweet novel with very sexy scenes. Readers
should be aware
that although this story is well developed it would
probably be a more
satisfying read for college-age adults. Sasha is an
immature air-head, which
she demonstrates often earlier in the novel. For example,
when Kevin asks:
"You don't have a filter between you head and mouth, do
you?" Sasha
responds, "I, ah..." Certainly not the dialogue of a
typical romance heroine
one wants to root for. While Sasha does grow up a bit by
the end of the story,
her journey is not profound. This character seems to draw
sympathy rather
than compassion and one may find herself rolling her eyes
rather than
cheering. The most likeable character is the hero, Kevin,
even if you want to
tell him to run far far away from Sasha.
The second college student Sasha Matthews spotted Trevor
Kingston she knew it was fate. He’s everything a girl
could want—handsome, charming, rich. With student loans
piling up and no clear idea what she wants to do with her
future, he’s the best thing she has going. But, Mr
Perfect’s façade begins to crumble when she sees him
photographed with another woman in the newspaper’s society
pages.
Breaking up with her high society boyfriend, a distraught
Sasha finds comfort in the arms of moody, hard working
Kevin Merchant whose cuteness is overshadowed by his know-
it-all attitude. One drunken night of passion is hardly
the start of a relationship and when Trevor wants her back
the choice seems clear.
In order to graduate Sasha must participate in an
important internship. But, she’s paired with the very guy
she’s swore never to see again. Forced to work alongside
Kevin, long hours in the lab turn into tempting nights of
seduction. Should she deny what’s between them and await
the return of her ideal boyfriend,or will life teach her
lessons this professional student never expected to learn?
