Payton wants a guy like her best friend’s boyfriend, Jessie. She wants someone that will give her the moon and the stars. She wants truly, madly, deeply. Nick is always looking for his next lay. But something changed in him the night this beautiful girl rear ends his car. He is totally smitten. Could Payton be the one to change Nick from ‘playah’ to boyfriend? Can Nick be the one to give Payton everything she has ever wanted? Can Payton learn to let go others expectations for her life and just live her own life?

I thought I loved Going Under, even without it being a mermaid story. (To understand that comment you will have to read my review of Going Under.) I even thought I loved Payton in Going Under, with her sarcastic smart mouth. But I had no idea that I would love her love her in Shallow, but she ended up blowing me away. That girl is something else: witty, smart, beautiful. Yep, Nick is going to have his hands full with her.

Nick was also just as great. I love that he is so smart, fabulously good looking, and knows what he wants to do with his life. He is not the bad boy per say, he just gets around...quite a bit. So he has earned that bad boy reputation. At least when Payton comes charging into his life, he realizes he doesn't want that reputation any more. And what girl wouldn't want to be the one to change a guy from player to the totally faithful boyfriend?

So yeah, I am certainly diggin a certain author right now. Like a lot! Georgia absolutely gets it when it comes to teens. She knows how they think, how they should act, what they are feeling. And she writes it out and makes the story believable. I think I could be happy reading her books over and over again. Now I need more of these characters from this series. So get busy woman…write me some more stories! Trust me peoples you are gonna love this series. So get on it and read it...like now!

Fav quotes...
I was sure I didn't have a shot in hell at being what she wanted, yet I needed the confirmation in case I was wrong. "Tell me what you're looking for."
Her smile was breathtakingly beautiful. "I want truly, madly, deeply."

He reached for my hand, pulled me inside his house and shut the door. He put his hands around my waist and pulled me close. "Girl, I've missed you and I'm about to mess up your lip gloss."
