BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Welcome to The Booby Trap, a seedy bar where waitresses’ skirts are high, necklines are low and customers show up for the eye candy.
When brainy, beautiful, Harvard Ph.D. candidate Bambi Benson wants to study the women of the the Booby Trap for her dissertation, she goes undercover and joins them. All is going well for Bambi until handsome local celebrity Trip Whitley enters the scene.
Hoping to shock his high-society family by dating a bimbo, Trip offers to pay Bambi to pretend to be his girlfriend. She accepts his offer and bides her time, waiting for the right moment to reveal her true identity and teach Trip not to judge based on appearances.
After a series of dates carefully orchestrated for their publicity value, Bambi’s trap is set. But there’s one problem: the predator might have fallen in love with her prey.
REVIEW:
This was a great read. It was funny and touching at the same time. I enjoyed the characters of both Bambi and Trip very much. The story was very well written and really had me wanting to read more and more.
I loved the fact that Bambi was going to teach Trip a lesson about assuming how someone is based on looks and a job but she had done the exact same thing with Trip. I would have enjoyed reading more about their dates since they were just brushed over in some ways. I do wish the author had maybe shown a little more romance, not chemistry but romance, between the characters but this really was a adorable book to read.
According to the back of the story this is the authors first novel and I must say I think she has a bright future in front of her and I can not wait to read another book by her.
