Layla Wilder
is a total college nerd who excels in chemistry who has come to the conclusion
she needs to shed the façade she’s created for herself and start to live life
like the rest of her fellow classmates, especially the young women on campus,
and decides to create a bucket she feels she needs to do in order to accomplish
this goal.
How would
describe Layla’s desire to complete her list? Well for me when it comes to a
particular item on her bucket list she would be like Diana Ross singing her
song, “I’m Coming Out.” If you’re not familiar with it, you can listen to it on
YouTube, and even if you are, here the specific lines of the song which I’m
referring to
I'm coming
out
I want the
world to know
I got to let
it show
There's a
new me coming out
And I just
had to live
And I want
to give
I'm
completely positive
I think this
time around
I am gonna
do it
Like you
never do it
Like you
never knew it
Oh, I'll
make it through
The time has
come for me
To break out
of the shell
I have to
shout
That I'm
coming out
But, being
totally naïve Layla knows she definitely needs help to venture into these unchartered
territories of her life. The only individual she feels she can turn to in this
regards in her lab partner, Beck Davenport. Beck being a hunk and a member of
the college’s hockey team, a guy any woman would desire to save as her own, agrees
to her relatively simple request since he doubts she has nothing to offer him
in the form of a love interest. As he helps her check off the items on her
list, Layla begins to grown on him and by the time she reaches the last item on
her list, NUMBER 7, which happens to be a night of uninhibited, mind-blowing
sex; Beck has found her to be the woman he’s always longed for. But how can he
convince her to have him fulfill the seventh item on her list, without losing
the platonic relationship they’ve shared so far.
This book
happens to be in the still relatively new genre of romance, New Adult. The
characters in these stories are supposed to be either in their senior year of
high school or beginning college. Sex is more of flirty nature than anything
else, although some stories might go all the way. How far do Layla and Beck go in regards to
fulfilling the last item on her bucket I’m saying but is well worth the read,
which is the reason Ms. Madsen is getting 5 STARS from me for her book.
I received
an e-book copy of this book in connection with the MAVP event The Romance
Reviews had on their website.
