    About this ebook

    Money can't buy a good first impression.

    Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers learned early that the rich are not to be trusted. And after years of studying them from behind the cash register of her mom's porcelain-doll shop, she has seen nothing to prove otherwise. Enter Xander Spence—he's tall, handsome, and oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and the fact that he seems to be one of the first people who actually gets her, she's smart enough to know his interest won't last. Because if there's one thing she's learned from her mother's warnings, it's that the rich have a short attention span. But just when Xander's loyalty and attentiveness are about to convince Caymen that being rich isn't a character flaw, she finds out that money is a much bigger part of their relationship than she'd ever realized. With so many obstacles standing in their way, can she close the distance between them?

    Editor's Note

    Star-crossed lovers...

    A story of star-crossed lovers who won't let their social class differences stand in the way of true love that will leave you laughing with its wit and sighing from its sweetness.

      Super cute and fluffy contemporary read! Another great book by the wonderful Kasie West!
    • 5/5
      Cayman and Xander were both such wonderful characters. They were flawed but at the same time I just wanted them to be happy.
    • 4/5
      Cliffhanger! Argh! The story focuses more on mom-and-daughter relationship, friends, economic status and it has a twist. Also, I read this when I was in the hospital and it helped me pass the time.
    • 4/5
      This was a good story. I like it. 3,5/5 for this.

    • 4/5
      Toilet paper scene? not my cup of tea.
      Light YA Contemporary read.
    • 5/5
      Totally funny and extremely lovely!!! Best of sarcasm and cliched romance....
    • 3/5
      Beautifully written. Would've wanted an epilogue just to round out the story! Xander and Caymen were a lovely couple and I wanted to see just a little bit more of their future together
    • 5/5
      The book is great, better has to be one of my favorites so far.
    • 4/5
      this is a great book.. and i love the characters in this book
    • 5/5
      It's cute and fluffy and in a world filled with drama out the wazoo, it's nice to have a breather where things work out so nicely. I'm a fan of deadpan humor and it was nice the banter is always enjoyable for me. I just wish it could've been longer. It doesn't feel complete.
    • 5/5
      Funny and sweet! It's a good book to read when you want something to pick you up.
    • 5/5
      love

    • 4/5
      After deciding to take a break from the subject I usually read (paranormal romance) I gave this book a try and ended up really enjoying it. It's not what I would typically read but it was light-hearted and enjoyable and I loved the characters. If you're on the fence and like the romance genre, give it a try.
    • 3/5
      It was ok, weak characters.
    • 5/5
      I love the way Kasie writes in chapters not exceeding 15 pages.. Which is all so thrilling, dark, and romantic with a fair bit of suspense.. Really look forward to read other books.. Good job Kasie..
    • 5/5
      أإإإ :-) :-) :-)
    • 4/5
      I love how sarcastic caymen was but i'm a bit dissappointed with the ending i need more!!
    • 4/5
      the actual star is 3.5
      I always love Kasie's writing style, the characters are incredibly awesome. I like Caymen's dry humors. Eventhough the story line is so Cinderella-ish, this book is still enjoyable
