Sophie, a freshman at USC, was from Long Island, New York. She was going to school on a full scholarship; her mother’s boss, Mr. Ogilvie, paid her living expenses and bought her a car. She was a serious student studying history, and because she had lived with an unwed mother her entire life, was still a virgin. Her mother was determined that Sophie would not turn out like she did.

I enjoyed this story tremendously. It’s a fast-paced, bright plot with two young people who obviously are more than meets the eye. Jerry, apparently from money, was thrilled that Sophie appeared to not know him or his Ferguson name. Sophie was scared to be with Jerry but was sure that it was a once-in-a-lifetime meeting.

What a refreshing book. It restored my faith in love at first sight and the ability for two people to meet, spend the weekend together, and still face the new week in love with each other. There were no villains in this plot and, though there were other cast members, the main characters were absolutely the story. Even though Jerry was only 19, he was well advanced sensually for his age level. Sophie was beautiful, but she also had brains.

I loved this book and cannot wait to read the sequels. This author, though new to me, will not remain a stranger. I highly recommend you read this book.
