Review: Overnight Sensation

Overnight Sensation by Sarina Bowen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Four and a half stars.

Sarina Bowen does it again! Jason Castro has pretty much everything he ever wanted, playing for the Brooklyn Bruisers, living the good life, easy women and a great set of mates, sure his family think he is wasting his life playing sport and womanising but they think he should be a doctor or a lawyer. On a team night out he keeps catching the eye of the new tem intern, the delicious Heidi, they've been dancing around each other for weeks but Jason has rules about sleeping with women at work - he's a one-and-done kind of guy which doesn't sit well with working alongside them the next day.

Heidi Pepper isn't just an intern, she's also the daughter of the Commissioner of Hockey and 100% off limits. When her night with Jason becomes gossip fodder and her father starts laying down the law Heidi decides to move out of her father's Manhattan penthouse suite and into her own apartment, trouble is her pay is pitiful so she ends up staying with Jason and his roomie Silas.

I was on the fence about Heidi to start with, I thought she was a little childish and naive, well she is under twenty-one, but she really grew on me. She's so full of grit and determination and character, she grafts so hard and creates a business out of nothing. When her father starts dictating that Heidi do all the most menial jobs (security, cleaning the toilets, selling hot dogs) rather than the office job she was previously doing she just knuckles down and does it.

Poor Jason he tries so hard to do the right thing but everything, friends and family conspire against him and he is forced to live cheek by jowl with the delectable, distracting and clever Miss Pepper.

Loved it, devoured it on release day, can't wait for Silas' story.
