Stupid Girl by Cindy
Miles (received through NetGalley)
3.5 stars
Olivia is a
tough ranch girl with a complicated past and a desire to start anew. Brax grew up in foster homes on the tough
streets of South Boston. In this case
opposites do attract and they form a sweet friendship that leads into something
more. I liked the characters in this
book and their interactions with each other were quirky and cute. I did find myself hoping that the author
would steer clear of some of the current clichés in the genre but they were all
there (the troubled, tattooed, violent and promiscuous male has been done ad
nauseam). Otherwise there was a good
story here with enough heart to keep me reading. I received this book from NetGalley in
exchange for an honest review.
