In some way, I did liked this book because of the story, but the one that did not appealed to me was the way the author conveyed it. It felt like the author just used synonyms of certain words in order to make the book not sound too redundant.
I love books with stories like this (haha the chick lit side of me) and as a matter of fact, when I read the description of the book I automatically liked it and expected a funny and romantic read. It did meet my expectations on some occasions but not most of the time.
Charles, the father of Ashlyn (the protagonist), is one of the things that I dislike. I think the way he restricts Ashlyn to do things her peers can do is kind of... annoying. How can a father be so obsessed with his daughter's safety? A sixteen year old can already keep herself safe right?
Anyhoo, the romantic side of the story is the one keeping me from grading this book too low. Good thing that Colin is charming and his chemistry with Ashlyn is expressed well.
For fans of rich-kid-falls-in-love-with-bodyguard or First Daughter-ish (Katie Holmes movie) kind of stories, you might like this one.
