Darby Sparks has lived a
very sheltered life. As a homeschool graduate, a small town resident,
and the only child of two over-protective parents, she’s dreamed of
chasing big dreams. But big dreams take big courage. So in a moment of
uncharacteristic boldness, Darby leaves the only life she’s ever known
and sets off for California to test her skills in Hollywood. It
works...until she runs out of money. That wasn’t part of her
spur-of-the-moment plan, and she finds herself stuck in an unfamiliar
city with too much pride to call home for help.
With limited options, Darby finds herself working for dangerously hot Lennon Dixon, the owner of a downtown Los Angeles tattoo parlor. Lennon needs help and finds it in Darby. What he doesn’t expect is her odd aversion to his place of business...or his attraction to her. As for Darby, to call her new job unfamiliar is the world's biggest understatement. But to call her mutual attraction to Lennon unexpected is a very close second.

My Review: 4 Stars
Darby is a very sheltered young lady and now, she's spending the summer learning to spread her wings and overcome her fears, with help from Lennon, her boss. I love watching Darby learn about herself and to learn to think for herself. She is so fierce about making it on her own. Lennon is a great character, one who always kept me guessing. He's pretty wise for only being in his mid-20s, yet there's not a cocky bone in his body.
So what is Darby doing for the summer? This home school graduate is in Los Angeles, trying to make it as an actress and is working in a tattoo parlor in the meantime. I think some tattoos are very artistic and special when there's a meaning connected to them. Although I personally don't want one, I found these descriptions interesting.
I loved the growth and the subtle romance in this story and my summer spent here was enjoyable. This is a sweet coming-of-age book.
Content: mild romance
