For the last year I've lived my life via text.

It's not because I don't want to talk, it's because trauma prevents me from getting any words out. We all have our things don't we?

It worked for me.

Until my Hollywood friends decide that I need a little bit of adventure by way of forcing me to become Lincoln Greene's new assistant. They're filming in my hometown. Waiting on him hand and foot is suddenly the least of my worries.

Because Lincoln? He's not a texter.

He's a talker.

And he may just talk his way right into my heart before I have time to put up any sort of boundaries.

He's my enemy.

And then he's my best friend.

And now I want to talk more than ever, say the words that don't mean as much when you type them out on your phone.

But I'm broken.

And even Hollywood's newest heartthrob can't fix me, no matter how hard he believes he can.

Overall, it was another enjoyable, quick read from RVD. Did I love it? No. Here are my thoughts:
1. She brings in all her characters from the previous Seaside books and Wes and Saylor are in the story briefly too. Oh, and Zane mentions he is related to Nixon. So, it was cool to see her tie all her books together.
2. You don't have to have read the previous seaside series as this starts a new spin off. However, Alec and Demetri play a huge role so if you didn't read the previous books, you might be a little confused at some points or feel like you missed something.
3. The plot is good, Dani and Linc are likable characters, and the story keeps moving without dragging. However, it wasn't amazing, you know? I felt like it was a typical New Adult genre book. Trouble girl meets hollywood hunk. Love blooms.

So, maybe my expectations are high because its RVD. Maybe I struggled with the book because I didn't read the previous seaside series so I had no idea who most of the characters were. Bottom line: its a good NA romance book. If you like NA, you will love this.
