I never intended to pick up a naked hitchhiker wearing nothing but a guitar. A guitar. Really. I don't collect guys like that (don't ask what kind of guys I do collect), but when you spot a blonde, tanned, sculpted man with a gorgeous smile and his thumb poking up and practically begging you to stop - you stop.
And I definitely never thought I'd be staring into the bright blue eyes of Trevor Connor, the lead singer for Random Acts of Crazy, an indie rock star I followed like the slobbering fileshare fangirl I am. How he came to be nude and lost six hundred miles from home is quite the tale, but how we fell in love is even more unreal.
Because someone like Trevor Connor, headed to Harvard Law next year isn't supposed to want someone like me, a rural Ohio chick majoring in Boredom at Convenience Store University who is all curves and frizzy blonde hair and manners so unpolished they have sharp edges that make you bleed.
When his best friend, Joe Ross, the bass player for Random Acts of Crazy and a man who makes Calvin Klein models look like Shrek, drove eleven hours through the night to rescue him, though, it got real complicated. It's one thing to like two different guys and be torn.
What do you do, though, when maybe - just maybe - you don't have to choose?
As my Aunt Josie says sometimes, "It's always complicated."

Review
I did not finish this book.
I was really disappointed with this book. It had great potential in the beginning but took a running start in the opposite direction.
I made a great attempt or so I thought, to like this book, but I failed. What really threw me off was the author's writing style. The way she wrote I had to make sure who was talking because I felt sometimes the attitude never changed. It probably also didn't help, with the vastly large amount of profanities dropped in one sentence. I understand that Darla was raised in a trailer park but there should have been a line drawn somewhere and there wasn't. There was also a large amount of inappropriate sexual innuendos dropped every time a conversation started up between Darla, Trevor and Joe.
I felt the characters were...they could have been a lot better.
Joe was too shallow and way too much of an asshole. Trevor was shallow and selfish, and Darla was pretty much the "trailer trash ho" she was portrayed, though she could have done better for herself but she gave up too easily. Life isn't handed to you on a silver platter.
It was over dramatized Darla and Trevor being from two different worlds. Again I feel there should have been a line drawn.
While reading this novel I cringed. I didn't want to but it happened. I really wanted to like this novel, but unfortunately it didn't happen.

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Julia Kent turned to writing contemporary romance after deciding life is too short not to have fun. She writes romantic comedy with an edge, and new adult books that push contemporary boundaries. From billionaires to BBWs to rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every book she writes, but unlike Trevor from Random Acts of Crazy, she has never kissed a chicken.
