In high school, Wade Armstrong had been half in love with Edie Brand, even though she barely seemed to notice his existence. Like the rest of this town, she thought him beneath her. That was how it seemed to him, anyway. But he’d grown up determined to prove them wrong, and now he owned a successful garage which was wallpapered with Edie Brand’s photo spreads from the Vanessa’s Whisper lingerie catalogue.
In high school, Edie Brand had been afraid to even look at Wade Armstrong. He was too hot, to smooth, and his reputation of being able to get any girl to say yes on the first date scared the daylights out of her. Now, though, a bad boy is what she needs. She’s back in town, driven out of L.A. and her lucrative modeling career by a crazed stalker who nearly killed her once. And who seems to have followed her home.

Interesting main characters but it just seemed to be missing something. Even thought there was plenty of emotions to the story. I have read a couple of other books about the Brand family and really liked them. This one didn't quite get there. I did like that Wade and Edie had a from a distance non-relationship since high school. The attraction was there and I was definitely rooting for Wade. He was way much better than the reputation that had been spread about him. Edie was scared of that reputation during her high school years but she had been definitely interested.
I did like re-visiting the eclectic Brand women. A good additional character is Sally, Wade's Great Dane.
There is an interesting twist when it comes to the point that the stalker is revealed. And he almost gets away with grabbing Edie. I liked how the story ended and there is also a quick look into Mel's book called "Secrets and Lies". Now to me, Mel is probably the wildest of the bunch and even more interesting of the bunch.
