Kimber is a virgin and in love with a pop star. At first I thought she was just delusional, but it turns out he is just as delusional as she is. He is famous, with a well known kinky side, and a love of menage. He says she is too innocent for his lifestyle, and she is determined to prove otherwise. She seeks out Deke, an old teenage crush, knowing he can teach her everything she needs to know about menage before Jesse returns from tour. What she doesn't count on is falling for bad boy Deke, who is very clear their relationship is only physical. The first half of the book was interesting.. the second half, not so much. It was all a repeat of the first half. Other than sex, her military father has received threats, some of which include Kimber.
