This was a very sweet storyline, but there are some flaws. Amery writes a light humorous story. She's dead funny on BOBs and teenage girl crushes.
Jake is a former Broadway star. He's one of New York's up-and-coming directors. Legions of fan girls inspired that career sidestep, allowing Jake to enjoy the theater but without the scary mob. This weekend, he's back home participating in a egad... bachelor auction all for his best friend's little sister.
When Jake spies his high school ex waving her paddle, he knows he's doomed. A beautiful blond in the back is his only chance. By only chance, I mean, the only option he finds acceptable. Mouthing the words, "Help me," at her, Jake is relieved when she enters the bid war.
Sophie feels her blood shimmer at those words. She can hardly believe it, Jake was her high school crush, getting him to help out at the event was a feat but this... this could be the coup of a lifetime. Now if she could get him to break that no relationship rule...
Overall, I felt it could use more polish as there were several parts where I felt I was observing far above the scene instead of being a part of the scene. Does that make sense? Kind of like watching yourself dream, a bit out of body, not quite grounded in the tale. I wanted more sticky in the writing, something that would grab me and hold me in the moment.
