Goodreads Blurb:
In the wealthy town of Sundale, Kelli Pinkins has hatched
the perfect plan to capitalize on her sweet reputation. For a generous fee, she
will be every trust-fund baby’s dream: a Friday-night alibi, the “girlfriend”
or “BFF” that parents dream about. With college approaching in the fall,
Kelli’s services are in demand more than ever, which means that her social life
is nonexistent. But Kelli is A-okay with that. She’s raking in cash for school.
Besides, relationships are tricky, and sometimes very messy. She’d rather be at
home on Xbox LIVE, anyway. Then the unexpected happens: She meets college stud
Chase Maroney.
Chase isn’t like the preppy, privileged guys Kelli usually meets in Sundale. For starters, he’s twentysomething, always wears black., and he shoots back one-liners as fast as she can dish them out. But Kelli’s attempts to drive Chase away falter when she realizes that he treats her like he really knows her, like he cares about knowing her. When Kelli finally gives in to the delicious kiss she’s been fighting for so long, she faces a tough decision: make Chase a real-life boyfriend and risk her heart . . . or keep her clients and lose her first true love.

My Review:
A sweet,
funny, romantic and fun read and a definite MUST read for any fans of the genre
looking for something a bit different and very entertaining!
Kelli is the town good girl. She goes to church, works, goes
to school and keeps it all clean. Any parent would love their son to be with
her or their daughter to be her friend. But it’s nothing like that for her. She
has one good friend and that’s about it. No pets, no boyfriend, no other
friends and her parents barely pay her any mind. She fills the void by offering
up her services as an ‘alibi’ for a nice fee. How much longer will Kelli go on
without what she craves? Someone to call her own, to be there for her and for
her to love? Can Chase be the one to be all that for her?
I really enjoyed this story and its characters. I’m hoping
the author plans to continue it because that ending left a lot open for the
imagination!
