To be honest, this is time i felt less attachment. The romance would have been awesome without the whole heist-society kinda plot that took away part of my enjoyment. I liked how this was less dark than previous books but idk this con-artist thing could have been better. I LOVED the witty lines. They made for an amazing bickering moments such as Blair's "i am the man in the relationship, so you know i hate mushy" LOL! I don't usually remember lines but this book was filled with good ones.Blair and Sam are awesome! Sam more tho xD With each book I become a bigger fan of Lyla Payne. I like that all the characters are connected but each book has it's own storyline.This one features Blair and Sam. Blair is a college student who appears to live the typical college student life, but what her friends don't know... She has a secret life. It's one where she cons rich people out of money for her father, who does it for a living.Sam is a tennis star. He recently had $30 million dollars of his money stole. By his accountant who is a fake and you later learn is Blair's dad.Sam has had a crush on Blair since they met in St. Moritz in Be My Downfall. Blair is like the one that got away for Sam, she turned him down. So he's quite surprised when Blair shows up at his hotel in Melbourne telling him that she knows her dad stole his money and wants to help him get it back. What Sam doesn't know is Blair is there to pull a con, to get the rest of sam's account information so her dad can steal the rest of his money. So Blair takes Sam on this wild adventure to find her dad, even though she knows exactly where he is.What Blair didn't count on through her con, falling for Sam. She realizes he is more that a pretty boy, manwhore tennis star. Blair starts to feel guilty and a war goes on her head the longer the journey takes.I loved their relationship. I liked the back and forth banter, I liked that Sam saw through her and showed her people really do care for her. It was great to see Blair realize she can have what she wants sooner rather than later.One of the issues I had was Audra Stuart's part in this story. Blair talks about having a problem with Audra's boyfriend, getting a bad vibe from the guy in the beginning if the book. It's brought up again towards the end when she gets another cell phone. Then when she gets back to Whitman Audra's side of the bedroom looks nearly deserted. Blair gets cryptic text messages from a fellow friend and Audra's brother but you never find out what happened to her. It feels unresolved especially since Lyla Payne says she's gonna take a break from this series. I really want to know what happens.
What do You think about Staying On Top (2000)?
I love books with roadtrips in them and I love Sam and Blair's story. :)
