A Dose of Reality
In every perfect life, there comes a time for—A Dose of Reality.
Pharmaceutical Heiress Chloe Avalon has always had the best of everything. But then again, a perfect wardrobe, the swankiest address, glamorous parties and limitless trust funds are the norm when you live in the realm of the über-rich. The only problem is that all of it has become a tad bit…tedious.
But life starts to get a little too interesting when her brother, Luke, sends her an ancient relic—and promptly vanishes. A mysterious voicemail from Luke’s oldest friend (and Chloe’s girlhood crush) adds a new layer of intrigue. Then, on the eve of her 30th birthday, things really begin to fall apart.
From Southampton to New York to a private island in the Caribbean, Chloe plunges into a dangerous race against an enemy she never expected and discovers there really are some things that money just can’t buy.

Poor little rich girl! While this book is fast paced and has some fun romantic interludes, the whiny main character makes it a chore to read. Chloe constantly complains about being fat (she's a size 8)and about how difficult it was to be forced to do charity work. It's difficult to like Chloe, but she grows on you after a while. Her friend Hannah saves the book as does her budding romance with Jagger Riley, but the highly predictible ending is a let down at best. This book needed an editor, a few revisions, and a good plot doctor.
