Always Wanted

Oh man I'm still laughing! Hard to gather my thoughts....okay, I'm good!

So at first this book reminded me a lot of Sarah's book Young Annabelle. Mostly with the crappy mother and family issues. I also felt like the main character was a little immature at first, but once she was away from her family that seemed to change. As it went on however I found it to get more intriguing. Then it started to feel like any other romance novel, but it never progressed in the 'typical' way one might expect it to. And then the good stuff came...ha! I'm still dying and can't get over the shock of Xander asking for her panties!! It almost seemed like the story would take a weird, almost criminal turn there, then of course it didn't. I loved how they ended up at an exclusive club and everything was very realistic as far as the story was concerned.

I don't even know what else to say. I enjoyed it, it made me laugh so many times! After Xander acting so weird and then normal when drunk and then treating Marisa like some kind of princess which confused her because she's not used to any such treatment...what is there to say? It's a fun filled story and I'm excited to see what happens with Xander and Marisa's relationship in the next part of the story. Especially since it wasn't a "love at first sight" thing. Aside from his dashing good looks, their personalities didn't seem very compatible which made everything more interesting.

Oh and the inner dialogue is fantastic! At one point Marisa said she "felt like a nun in heat" so great. Once you get invested in the characters there's definitely some humor in there. Whether it was intended or not...well who cares.
