Handsome bad boy college student Trace Weston surfs, parties, and has a blast in the Palm Beaches as much as possible, sometimes avoiding class and definitely not excited about his imminent future working for his father's company. Lovely Vanessa Summers has escaped a dark, haunting past and moved to Florida to attend the same school and study writing. When she meets Trace, she is instantly taken with his irresistible charm. The bad news: she meets him because he’s lost a poker bet and is sentenced to a 30-day "vanilla" relationship with this girl he knows nothing about. While both Trace and Vanessa struggle to keep their secrets hidden, they can’t deny how attracted and excited they are about each other. But their pasts and promises threaten to erupt around them. Will they be able to find who and what is trying to keep them apart and still not lose The Vanilla Bet?

My Review
This was a great little romance story with an element of mystery thrown in.
The story is about Trace and Vanessa. Trace lose's a bet a has to have a 'vanilla relationship' with a woman. Trace has to be a character who is so full of himself and gives off that cocky vibe. In the complete opposite Vanessa is a kind and kind of shy women. It was told from both of their POV which I think always tends to add to the story. There are some great witty lines in this one and some good banter.
I read it in one sitting as it's fairly short. For me at times I got a little confused with the plot is seems a little disjointed but it didn't take that much from my reading enjoyment and if you are looking for a light hearted read one afternoon then this is the book for you.
