Blurb:

With one look, I’m his . . .
With one touch, he’s mine . . .
With one kiss, it changes everything between us . . .

I’ve been famous since I can remember. Singing, acting, dancing—I’ve done it all. The tabloids cover my every move, but I don’t want that anymore. I want to be normal, whatever that is.

When I leave Hollywood for college in Vermont, I’m on my own for the first time in my life. This is my chance to figure out who I am and what I want in life.

But it’s a lot harder than I expected. I can’t escape my image. Classes are difficult, and I’m struggling. And then there’s Caleb Fox.

Sexy, intriguing Caleb Fox.

Caleb is the one man who doesn’t want to use me. He breaks down my walls. He challenges me. He wants me. And I just don’t know if I can give him the same—or if he’ll stick around when he finds out my shameful secret that the tabloids haven’t managed to uncover.

Dating him is risky enough, but loving him could break me.

* * This book is for mature readers 17+ due to sexual situations * *

My Thoughts:
"So much of my life has been manufactured. So much of my life has been controlled. So much of my life has been living what other people want me to live. And I'm done with that. I'm living the rest of my life for me."

Hailey is a freshman girl who's struggling with classes in college. Not long ago she was a famous singer, actor, and starlet who wants a normal life after being in the limelight. All she wants to do is go through school and try to figure out her life. Caleb wasn't what she was expecting when she came to school, he is sexy, caring and shes falling for him. But will he still want her once he knows the dark secret that she's hiding?

When I came across the book it was the cover that really drawn me in, I didn't even check out the description for the book. I just requested to read the book and hoped for the best while reading and I'm happy to say that I loved this book.

I enjoyed this book it was predictable but I enjoyed it all the same. I liked that Hailey wasn't a stuck up girl who let the limelight and her stardom to go to her head. I liked that once she was away from her past she was a normal girl struggling with school and trying to figure herself out. That was the part that made her very likeable and relatable for any college student out there thats struggling and trying to find themselves. Heck I'm one of them. I liked the Caleb was caring, compassionate, romantic, and understanding. Even when her secret was revealed he was accepting and helped her get through the inner turmoil that she was feeling at the moment. As for the secret was hoping for a bit more and with the whole book in general I was hoping for a bit more conflict. The book was great anyways. I liked that their relationship wasn't a instant connection type of bit. I mean they clearly liked each other but they didn't jump each other bones that quick their relationship eventually led up to it.

If you are looking for a sweet romantic book with a bit a steaminess in it, this book is for you. Highly recommend. Worth the 4.5 stars.
