*****FOUR I VEGAS LOVE YOU STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author in Exchange for an Honest Review}
I know this is supposed to be just a crazy one-night stand, but there's a big part of me that wishes it could be more.
This was a sexy, quick read, which was low on angst and had a hero who will have you drooling throughout the story. I had never read anything by Jillian Dodd, but knew that her Keatyn Chronicles series was very popular with some of my friends. I wasn't sure what to expect but found this one to be a very enjoyable read.
Ashlyn Roberts is Hollywood's latest "IT" girl. What we've learned from pop culture is that when young people get a taste of fame too early, sometimes they get caught up in a downward spiral and have one scandal after another. Soon they become a joke and ultimately fade into obscurity. Ashlyn is about one scandal away from becoming the next Lindsay Lohan. One boyfriend walked out on her a year ago via text, she's been causing issues on her latest movie project, a sex tape of her and her ex has just gone viral and her current boy band boyfriend has publicly broken up with her. I was a little worried in the beginning of the story because I really didn't like Ashlyn. I mean this does not paint a pretty picture of a lovable Heroine.
Cash Crawford is a lawyer, who has been living in Seattle for the past couple of years. His older brother, Cade, offers him a job with his company and Cash is ready to come back home to California since Seattle seems to be a dead end. He's a pretty easy going guy, who likes to have fun with the ladies and he's definitely oozing with sex appeal.
The story starts to take off from the moment Ashlyn and Cash meet at a close friend's wedding reception. Ashlyn had been drinking away her sorrows after having been dumped by her recent boyfriend and runs right into Cash, or Sexy, as she so appropriately nicknamed him. They're instantly attracted to each other and don't waste any time before they're getting down & dirty on a golf course. Ashlyn and Cash don't want their HOT night to end so they board a private jet and are bound for Vegas. These two become insatiable for each other and end up having a seriously crazy night in Vegas. They decide to top the night off by getting married in a little wedding chapel. Is this a drunken mistake or could it be the real thing?
The next morning Ash aka "Hotass", sneaks out of their hotel room and flies back home. She never knew Cash's real name but Cash on the other hand, knew exactly who she was and is also about to find out that his brother, Cade, is Ashlyn's agent and has hired him to keep an eye on Ashlyn. A job he is all too happy to take on, even though his brother forbids him to have sex with her. Little does he know that he has had a whole lot more than sex with the starlet.
The rest of the story we are left wondering whether the two will end up filing for divorce or will they realize that a drunken night in Vegas actually turned out to be the Once in a Lifetime Fairytale Love that they've always dreamed of having.
I would have liked a little more angst because I'm a glutton for punishment and the insta-vegas love had me rolling my eyes a bit, but I have to admit that Cash was such a mouth wateringly sexy leading male that I let these things slide, but those factors definitely kept this from being a five star read for me. I was very much entertained and would recommend this book if you are in the mood for a quick steamy read that is very low on drama.

4 stars!
I love Jillian Dodd books. Her stories are always fun, sexy and leave a smile on my face. Vegas Love was no exception. I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face while reading this.
After a string of bad luck when it comes to relationships, Ashlyn meets Cash at a wedding and decides to go to Vegas with him. Ashlyn doesn’t want names, just fun, but Cash knows who she is. The entire world knows who she is. Ash is an actress, and a rather famous one. Cash is an attorney who is fun and flirty. He plays along with Ash’s no names plan. Vegas is fun. So much fun in fact, that Ashlyn and Cash get married while they’re there.
When Ashlyn and Cash get back to the real world, and Ash realizes how connected she and Cash are in real life, she doesn’t know what to do. It is obvious after sharing that one night, they both have pretty serious feelings for one another. It leaves them to decide if this Vegas wedding will lead to divorce, or if it will be the whirlwind romance they both think it is…
Once I started reading this one, I was pulled in immediately. Give me fun, sweet, flirty and sexy- and I’m hooked. I love these light reads that give you a little escape from all the heavy. From Ashlyn and Cash being incredibly likable characters, to the fun story line, the one night in Vegas, then all the afterward time. It was great. It had insta-love, but it worked for the book. It’s a standalone story, but I would love a story on each of Cash’s brothers. I think there is a lot of potential there.

Jillian Dodd has done it again, I swear I love this woman’s stories. Like legit, I love how she writes these fun, engaging stories that allow you to live these glamours lives for a moment. Jillian’s take on a What happens in Vegas, not staying in Vegas was unique and completely captivating.
“Hotass, you’re the craziest, coolest, and sexiest girl I’ve ever met. Will you marry me tonight?”
Ashlyn is a famous actress, but she is desperate for love and friendship. Her desperation has her trusting too easily and jumping into relationships trying to find something real. It’s difficult to find something real in a world built on superficial things. This is another thing I love about Jillian, she writes relatable characters. No, I have never met a famous actress, but I have known plenty of woman who make poor choices because of their desperation for love and acceptance. I could totally get Ashlyn and my heart felt for her.
Cash is an attorney and is in the process of moving from Seattle when he meets Ashlyn. They are both supposed to be attending a wedding for their friends, but Cash’s flight is delayed and he arrives after the wedding. He is immediately taken by Ashlyn and they decide to leave together. That night they decide to run away for one epic night in Vegas. After a perfect night they decide to get married. The next morning, Ashlyn wakes up panicked and leaves before he wakes.
I love how Jillian wrote the fallout from their epic night. I also loved how much Cash and Ashlyn time we got. I enjoyed seeing them interact and get to know each other. This story is not your typical married in Vegas story. These two didn’t hate each other or have an big misunderstanding, but they had other obstacles to overcome. I also loved seeing how they grew together and fall in love.
I was immediately drawn in and addicted to this fun, sexy read. I loved how the entire story played out, not just the romantic aspects. This is a quick, sexy, fun read, but had so much heart and depth. I truly loved these characters. I seriously hope we get some spinoffs, too. Vegas Love is the perfect sexy, crazy, fun escape.

1.5 I don't believe Jillian Dodd wrote this Stars
I'm quite certain I read a different version of what every body else blew up w 4 & 5 star ratings. This was an absolute fucking horror. Legit Horrid.
I felt like if Dr. Seuss wrote smutty YA novels this would be it.
~They met~
~ she whined~
~they fucked 4 times~
(2 at an outside wedding, then 2 more on a plane) ALL ON ONE PAGE of the book. Seriously, that much fucking took place in ONE SINGLE PAGE OF TEXT. Within the first 10-15 minutes of meeting each other. It literally said- we fucked. Twice. That was it. That was their big first meeting.
She was a whiny self-imposed victim that was too fucking dumb to get out of the goddamn rain. He was a star struck numpty with zero backbone.
I'm obsessed w the Keatyn Chronicles so I choose to believe my slow nephew wrote this and just stole this fantastic authors copyright.
I honestly wanted to shove blades in my eyes when she screamed "OHMYGAWD" every other exclamation. I need eye bleach and Tommy Lee Jones'es flashy-laser-light. Dear God erase this from my dumber for reading this brain. Save yourselves folks & RUN!
Another GR member states this:
"...
3 pages after saying she hates drugs she says she gets high to survive work.... I hate inconsistencies
This author is not for me. I tried. I absolutely despise her writing. It's childish, empty and just awful. There is zero emotion in it. Is she a teenager I just don't know. Everything about this is childish and cheesy. This feels like a spoof on a proper romance book. [EXACTLY!!!! Perfectly stated!! "spoof" yup!]! As if it was purposely written terribly to amuse people. I'm not amused. It's so awful..."

Initial Reaction:
ah a very enjoyable cute & fluffy!
*sigh*...
not sure if I am rounding up or down yet but 3.5 awesomely cute stars.
Review:
So let's just put it out there: I really enjoyed this one despite the fact that it is rather cliche.
The reason for that?
It's really well written. I've never read anything by Dodd before and discovered her in ONE. In fact the piece I read was an excerpt of Vegas Love... And all I wanted was get my hands on the book. I really loved the witty way it was written. I loved the sizzling chemistry and enjoyed the smut ( yep! you read wright.)
And the book did not disappoint. I read this in more or less one sitting. It's cute, it's fun, it's plenty hottylicous. (yeah I know that's not really a word, but... it's the perfect word for this - so shush) Well, mostly what I want in a cute & fluffy except a tad too cliche as I said.
So let's address my biggest issue, shall we? The plot was rather predictable. And if I say rather I mean very. It's your usual insta-lust becomes love, one-night-stand-in-vegas love story. There is the mandatory super hot, wealthy and successful manwhore commitophobe, that get's tranformed through falling in love with the super beautiful very likable female lead that is full of self-doubts.... OH and the epilogue? He had tears in his eye! {(crinch) I swear I would have rounded the rating up if it wouldn't have been for that. I don't do sappy dudes... so .. just NO!. I don't think it's romantic, it's it's....
Oh and the fact that at the end EVERYTHING just worked out and was so peachy... (especially her family stuff)
yeah well: cliche - I did say so didn't I?
BUT and this is why there is 3.5 Stars- as I said I love Dodds writing style, I adore the humor, I loved the dialogues and I like the characters
The character building definitely shines here. I love the group of friends/family that are featured here. The brothers are ALL without fail yummy and interesting. And their relationship- fabulous. The family, their banter and behaviour felt real. In fact I want more! I really really really hope that Dodd will make a series out of this one? (pretty please?)
Cash- as I said, reformed super hottie - but he was also much more than that, I really liked his POV. I loved reading about his insecurities, love reading about him getting to grips with what was happening in his life and the way he took care of Ashlyn
Ashlyn was, to be totally honest, my least favorite character. She was a tad too melodramatic in my opinion. I think her issues were a bit too over the top. I mean I did get it and I felt quite sympathetic most of the time, except towards the end, then I wanted to smack her, actually. I think I would have been more ok with it if there wouldn't have been that super happy everything is now ok and all problems have been solved kinda ending.
Still she is a great female MC and I did care for her- except for half of that annoying chapter.
So all in all a fun read. So far a standalone but I have hopes there....
If you feel like a cute & fluffy definitely give this a go! I for one am going to get my hands on Dodds other books until she releases the next book (in this series) ;) - well at least I hope she makes it as series... otherwise... I'll just wait until the next book she writes. Definitely an author I shall look out for in the future.
November 25, 2015
I'm reading this in hopes of liking this author. I absolutely hated the Keatyn books. Hated so bad I didn't finish deleted them and was pissed I wasted money. I haven't read anything else by her since
3 pages after saying she hates drugs she says she gets high to survive work.... I hate inconsistencies
This author is not for me. I tried. I absolutely despise her writing. It's childish, empty and just awful. There is zero emotion in it. Is she a teenager I just don't know. Everything about this is childish and cheesy. This feels like a spoof on a proper romance book. As if it was purposely written terribly to amuse people. I'm not amused. It's so awful.

I loved this fun and sexy book! I was super excited when this showed up in my Bookworm Box and it did not disappoint. This book had everything I love in a light romance - minimal angst, a seriously swoon-worthy hero, sexy times and humor. The romance was incredibly sweet! I really loved this book and I'd love to see Cash's brothers get their own books too.

Vegas Love by Jillian Dodd
4 stars!!
Jillian Dodd always delivers a cute romantic read, that is sweet but extremely entertaining and Vegas Love is no different. With fantastic characters, explosive chemistry and the glitz and glamour that she has made her own Jillian Dodd delivers a fairy-tale romance that will leave you smiling from ear to ear with a warm glow in your heart.
Ashlyn was a Hollywood actress who was highly successful and had jumped from meaningless relationship to meaningless relationship. The only meaning in said relationships was what her persona and contacts could bring to the male specimen on her arm. She was used over and over again and the magic of the fairy-tale romance was quickly losing its appeal, she just wanted to be loved and be in love. Men had finally left her a little jaded so for now she was going to enjoy herself…starting at her friend’s wedding.
Cash was an attorney who was relocating from Seattle to work with his brother. He was drop dead gorgeous, confident, cocky a bit of a joker but extremely loveable. He is due to attend the same wedding but his flight comes in late and he misses the majority of it. As he is walking in he sees Ashlyn who was moping in her own pity party with a bottle of champagne. They chat, have a laugh and decide to be spontaneous and have a night of fun…Vegas!! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…until it doesn’t.
With a night of fun and frolics and a wedding these two really hit it off, but will they get the quickie divorce they promised or will their undeniable attraction and chemistry win through? With Hollywood glitz and glamour and sharks that would stab you in the back if it made some $$ the pitfalls of Hollywood are shown in all its technicolour glory.
This book had me in hysterics as well as swooning. Jillian Dodd delivers a fun read that was quick, easy and un-put-down-able. With some fantastic side characters that I would love to learn more about the Crawford brothers have certainly made an impact. While this book was insta-love it was by no means irritating, these two took the time to get to know one another and their relationship blossomed before your eyes. Once again, another fun, super swoony read from Jillian Dodd.

“They want to see me happy, and you, Hotass, make me happy.”
This book had me in hysterics as well as swooning. Jillian Dodd delivers a fun read that was quick, easy and un-put-down-able. With some fantastic side characters that I would love to learn more about the Crawford brothers have certainly made an impact. While this book was insta-love it was by no means irritating, these two took the time to get to know one another and their relationship blossomed before your eyes. Once again, another fun, super swoony read from Jillian Dodd.

So I started this book because I have had it on my TBR pile for ages and I just got notification that the next one is coming out soon and I really wanted a break from the angst and drama overload I had been on lately. I wanted something light and fluffy and fun but for the first 10% I was just frustrated and not really loving the characters.
I actually think I may have pulled a muscle with all the eye rolling I had going on but I figured I would read another 10% to be fair and suddenly I was at the end of the book with a big goofy smile on my face, tears in my eyes and bummed that the second book wasn’t already released so I could dive straight into it.

October 7, 2021DNF@20% So far this book is a mess so I will not continue reading it. Ashlyn is an actress who's ex releases a sex tape and her current boyfriend who she doesn't even seem to like but wants to marry dumps her at a wedding because her situation is bad for his boy band image. Enter Cash who is also at the wedding and whose first words to Ashlyn are hey Hotass. So not only are they drunk and have sex in the open twice but there's no actual described sex, I was so confused because it was said in passing that I had to reread the sentence and yes it said they had sex twice. There was absolutely no build up and from reviews basically the whole book is one continued mess with fade to black sex scenes.

I had such high hopes for this book. A lot of my GR friends loved this book, but Vegas Love was a Vegas Bust for me. I gambled and I lost. This was just not for me. I found myself rolling my eyes so many times with the child-like behaviors.
If you like having whiplash then this book will definitely give you that. One moment the heroine was profession her undying love for the hero and then with a turn of the head she's running away and saying she doesn't love him. I felt like I was jumping from subject to subject with no good reason. I didn't like the insta-love also. I've read quite a few books with insta-love but this one....let's just say it gave me heartburn.
I felt like Cash didn't fit his role either. I think the author tried to portray him as this hot-ass, sexy, wash board abs kinda guy, but to me he fell short in my eyes to all of those qualities. Who buys someone they just met a wedding ring that cost about a quarter million dollars...IN VEGAS?! I know this is fiction but as a reader you want to have some sort of feeling like this could happen in real life, and unfortunately, I felt like everything that happened in this book was too far fetched.

If Cash doesn't steal your heart and make you fall head over heels in love with him, then you are heartless and probably don't have feet with heels which makes you a machine and machines don't read books.
This book is such a great escape type book. I couldn't put it down but life got in the way and made me which is why it took a few days.
Stand alone story that makes you beg the author for more books about other characters because you just can't let them go.
Hottie hangover part duex......because Cash makes you swoon as much as Aiden.

This is my first books by Jillian Dodd and I generally liked it.
The story is quite uncomplicated, and the characters are likeable. Ashlyn, the movie star, is not having the best time of her life when she meets Cash at her best friend's wedding. During one joyful and unforgettable weekend, they do all kind of crazy things, including getting married. Then they have to go back to real life and Cash is assigned to look after Ashlyn, which is exactly what he wants to do.
The book is a bit short, so the story isn't really developed. There is some drama, but it is not overwhelming. The romance part is roughly the idea of love at first sight. What I didn't really like is the ending.
Anyway, I liked the brothers and I will probably read the next book in this series.

I Vegas love this book!
I couldn’t wait to read this one and once again Jillian delivers another great read!
Ashlyn and Cash have this intense chemistry from the get-go that I found myself Vegas falling in love right along with them. Although fast paced, there is no shortage of character development – oh the feels.
The story progressed and evolved perfectly. Cash is just one of those guys that I couldn’t resist swooning over, he was funny, sweet and just down right sexy!! I also fell in love with Cash’s siblings, loved their interactions (hope they get stories too).
If you’re looking for a fun, fast-paced, sexy hot-ass read, then this is for you! Don’t miss out on the pre-order for only $.99 which is a steal! Enjoy.

This was a super cute, fun loving story! At first I was concerned it was going to be a frivolous grocery store tabloid Hollywood drama, but it truly was sweet. Jillian Dodd excels at creating characters who you'd love to pal around with and you just can't turn away from their starlet induced drama. Ashlyn and Cash have great chemistry and a whirlwind romance. I'd love to read more about the Crawford brothers.

4.5 Spontaneous Stars!
Jillian Dodd can do no wrong! This was more like a novella and not as high-quality as some of her other books - but very enjoyable nonetheless.
Highly recommended!

Original Review @ Naomi’s Reading Palace
It’s been almost two years since I’ve read anything by Jillian Dodd, and I intrigued by this book whilst visiting a blogging friend. I always love a read about a one night stand that turns into accidentally getting married, so I was keen to try this new standalone read. It was a cute and enjoyable read that I devoured quickly.
As you may have read from the blurb, Ashyln’s life was a bit of a rollercoaster ride in the beginning. She’d already broken up with a boyfriend and her current guy acted like a jerk and then broke up with her at her best friend’s wedding. As she stormed out of the wedding with a bottle of champagne she ran into ‘Sexy’ and soon ‘Sexy’ (him) and ‘Hotass’ (her) were jetting off to Vegas for a night of fun and end up getting hitched.
I enjoyed seeing Ashlyn and Cash together. Their night in Vegas was entertaining; they were both carefree, truthful with one another and made the best of the time they spent together. They both had regrets afterwards, but the wedding wasn’t one of them. When they crossed paths again, the attraction was still there, and they continued to get to know one another.
Ashlyn liked being treated like she mattered for a change; her life had been difficult and she put on a brave front when she was secretly trembling inside. She was too trusting for her own good at times, and soon found out who her real friends were. I liked seeing her bare her soul to Cash and how easily she grew to trust him. I didn’t like how she wouldn’t fight for herself though, she was quick to run from conflict instead of fighting for what she wanted.
Cash had been working at a top corporate law firm in Seattle, and had decided he needed a change and returned home to Southern California to take up a position working for his brother’s talent agency. Being a lawyer, I thought he’d know the basics, but certain details slipped past him that confused me a little. But he was a great character and always looked out for Ashlyn. He went above and beyond to fight for her, and did a lot of sweet things along the way.
If you are looking for a quick entertaining read I would definitely recommend Vegas Love. There’s a bit of drama introduced, and I liked the developing relationship between Ashlyn and Cash. Jillian Dodd has an easy to follow writing style and having alternating perspectives allowed me to see what they were both feeling and thinking. I hope that there are more stories from this world in the future, especially from Cash’s siblings!

I could not put this book down. I was sucked in from the beginning!!!! Oh the drama! I love it! It's such a whirlwind you can't help but want to see what happens next. Cash is hot and fun. I just wanted him to get to keep the girl. Cash and Ashlyn had great chemistry! I loved all the secondary characters and wouldn't mind reading books about Cash's sexy brothers! There are so many sweet moments that have you swooning but as always this author manages to keep it young and sexy too. Definitely recommending this one.

This one was a nice read. Funny. Low angst. Light drama. I liked the MCs, and so some of the supporting characters. Cash family is enviable!! Cade, Carter, and Chloe are such a cool siblings!!
Wish this was longer though. Because when reading it I felt like I was running?! If that is even possible...
Anyway..!!

November 26, 2015
A few months ago One a collection of short stories by eighteen authors was released, and if I’m being completely honest, the reason I one clicked it was because of Jillian Dodd. Let’s face it, she could write about the grass growing and I’d still buy it! What I wasn’t prepared was for the fact that it was just a taste of Cash & Ashlyn’s story, and when it ended I was like WTF, really?
Vegas Love is exactly what the cover states-crazy, sexy, vegas love, but what happens when morning comes? Do you stay? Leave? Pretend it never happened? Or is it love at first sight?
When life doesn’t go according to plan for Ashlyn, she does her best to function at her best friends wedding. As the evening continues, she decides she has to get out of there grabbing a bottle of champagne and escaping down the hallway. Her night changes with one word… hotass.
Cash has waited until the last minute to fly in for a wedding,and when his flight is delayed, he barely makes it in time for the reception. Walking in he spot the hottest ass he’s ever seen, and when he takes it upon himself to call her that the rest is history.
A night of fun, alcohol, and an impromptu flight to vegas change their lives forever. One night, no names, just Mr. Sexy and Miss Hotass, but both of them question if it’s the thrill or real love. They decide they Vegal love each other and when morning comes they move on… until their worlds collide.
I’m not going to give you a play by play because there is no way I can give you all the feels. Jillian Dodd has a style of writing that is fun, carefree, fast pace, and makes you feel as if you are within the pages as well.
From the moment Cash called Ashlyn hotass, I was cheering for those two. They are the perfect couple to show that when you find the right one, no matter the circumstance, it will work out.
Lately when I hear the radio a song will remind me of a character, yesterday it happened while taking Carlee to dance. Meghan Trainor’s Like I’m Going to Lose You, comes through my speakers. I’ve heard that song a million times, but this time, all I could see was Ashlyn and Cash. Between Meghan Trainer and John Legend I could see the battle of trying to hold on that night in Vegas, but can you go from Vegas long someone to love loving someone? Those questions are answered in Vegas Love! Take a moment over this Thanksgiving holiday to enjoy this fun, crazy, sexy, Vegas Love read! I promise you’ll Vegas love it, and you might even love love it!

4.5 stars
We all read fairy tales when we were young and everyone ended up living happy ever after. There are couples I know in my own circle of friends who are just perfect for each other and are so in love, living out their own ever after. So it can happen right?
Sometimes you meet someone you completely click with, and it may not be someone you are attracted too, in fact they may become your best friend. Someone you feel comfortable sharing all your secrets and fears with. Someone who believes in you and will stand by you no matter what. It can happen and when it does, it's wonderful.
Ashlyn meets Cash at a wedding and has the best night of her life. The night begins at a wedding and ends at a wedding - her own one, with Cash. She has never met someone like him, he is gorgeous, sexy and is everything she wants in a man. He makes her feel beautiful, happy and she has never felt this way about any guy she has dated. Could this be insta-love?
Cash cannot believe his luck when he stumbles across Ashlyn and is more than happy to go along with her contagious impulsivity. She is beautiful, fun and her enthusiasm for spontaneity makes her even more attractive. He cannot remember a time where he felt something so strong and so fast in such a short time. She is perfect for him. And now she is his wife.
So the funny thing about drunken nights in Vegas is that the morning eventually comes, the alcohol has worn off and in the cold light of day, a bit of hangover remorse sets in. What the hell is Ashlyn going to do now?
This was so much fun to read. To be honest everything that Jillian has written has been super awesome and this book was no exception. I started reading this on a Sunday morning and I could not put it down, it was very addictive and I ended up reading it all in one day. I love it when that happens, getting so caught up in the story that all I could do was keep reading. I Vegas love your work Jillian Dodd.

This was such a entertaining, sexy, make you laugh out loud read. I could not put it down, literally I was up until 3am reading it in one sitting. I absolutely loved this book and Cash and Ashlynn. Their characters and story line pull you in and you never want out,, Their chemistry is off the characters and their quick and crazy romance with have you falling in love right along with them.
One of my favorite things to see in a book is character growth. I love seeing the characters become a better version of themselves. Ashlynn does this in Vegas Love with the help and "Vegas" love from Cash. I have to mention the HOT and fun sex scenes, these two could not keep their hands off each other. Jillian really took it up a notch and did it in a way that never was too much.
I not only loved the main characters but I also loved the secondary characters also. They are a large part of the story and I can't wait to see if they will get their own books too. If you love a fun romance with characters you can easily connect to and fall in love with, them I highly recommend Vegas Love. Jillian Dodd is one of my top 5 fave favorite authors( and I got to meet her this weekend!!), so when she's releasing a book I'm one clicking immediately!!

****ARC RECEIVED FOR AN HONEST REVIEW - SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELLING BOOK BLOG**
So i got totally excited when i signed up for this release and review, i love Jillian's books, The Keatyn Chronicles got me hooked.
Ashlyn - movie star princess meets gorgeous Cash...and their story begins...
Its a story about finding your one person. I enjoyed this book, i read it twice before leaving a review just to make sure i got it right!
The only reason i didn't give it 5 star: i felt that it brushed over a few incidents.. like what happened to Ashlyn's manager and publicists? (and the people that have read this book will understand, without me giving away too much)
i hope there is more in this series.
