"Publicist Wendy Mann has always competed hotly with her rival Daniel Blackstone, but this time they're headed for a collision. Wendy's job is on the line if she doesn't save the image of a spoiled young starlet who's posting provocative pictures of herself all over the Internet in a snarky attempt at revenge on her former boyfriend. Daniel is representing the ex, a onetime teen heartthrob who never grew up. With the feuding Hollywood pair scheduled to appear on the same Las Vegas awards show, Daniel and Wendy are determined to do whatever it takes to defend their own clients. Unfortunately, the chemistry between Wendy and Daniel is even more explosive than that of their Hollywood stars. L-O-V-E was always a four-letter word for these two ultra-competitors; they never counted on the scorching heat that erupts between them. But Wendy's high-gloss exterior hides a dark past--one that's lurking behind the bright Vegas lights. Their careers are on the line, and so is Wendy's life. . . ."--P. [4] of cover.

This is seriously the weirdest book! Page after page after page of the characters *telling* me what they feel, and yet they feel no more organic or real than they were on page one. A black eye makes Wendy think about Daniel's brother dying in the World Trade Center and about her own dead dad? Really?! Either I need to know/care about Wendy a *whole* lot more before that gets dropped into the narrative (so as it have it make sense), or Echols is telling me someting completely new about the character (in which case I need more than one line). And can I say again, this doesn't feel like an Echols book *at all*.
Pg.95... I give up. These characters have these long, ridiculous, expository inner thoughts, they're as stiff as Barbie dolls using semaphore. Perhaps part of the problem is my own excitement, any new Echols book is cause for me to drop everything else and dive in. Maybe this needs to be treated as a "fill time at the beach, low expectations" read instead.
