This is a cute story about a rich nerd who gets used by his ‘friends’ for his money and the gorgeous model who is interested only in him. With a few complications and misunderstandings at the core of it, it’s also a story about standing up for oneself and learning what real friendship and respect are all about.

Ally is too timid for his own good. He is lonely, and makes the mistake of believing the people who are around for his money are actually his friends. I felt really sorry for him and was so glad when Bennie turned up and showed an interest in him, rather than his bank account. Of course, it takes Ally a while to believe Bennie is being honest, but once he does, it turns out the two are made for each other.

Bennie is a successful model but hates his empty life. People are only interested in him for his connections to agents. He has more money than he knows what to do with, but is fed up with the loneliness of the life he leads. He has a large heart and good character judgment, he is also loyal and starts fighting for Ally’s right to be himself and make his own decisions immediately.

Both these men are surrounded by people who want them for things other than who they are. Bennie is probably better equipped to recognize and fight it, but without someone to share who he really is, the loneliness isn’t any easier to bear. If you’re looking for a fun light read with some humorous banter, two main characters who are made for each other and a very happy ending, you may like this book.

A pure romantic comedy like it was long I haven't had the chance to read, my only complaint is that it was only a novella. I really hope the author will consider to revisit this pair, since they were sweet and cute.

Aloysious "Ally" is a sad rich guy; cute but not handsome, he was not lucky with the choice of friends, who are basically munching off him and treating him like a money spounge. Ally is so mistreated that he is no more able to see the good in him, and so of course is not able to understand when a guy is really interested in him and not his money.

Benedict "Bennie" is not maybe as rich as Ally, but with a career as supermodel, he is quite requested both in his public than private life, problem is that people want him in the private for the spotlight they can gain in the public.

They are perfect for each other, and I really liked how Bennie was not into this story for nothing else if not that he really cares for Ally; Bennie doesn't see Ally as a pity case, and when the reader has the change to see Ally through Bennie's eyes, it's a completely different guy, sweet, cute, clever, someone you'd like to cuddle. Doesn't matter if he is bald and a
little overweighted, that is not what Bennie sees.

This is the story of their first meeting, for that reason I think the author has the chance to tell us more, especially since she infuses a light streak in the story that is refreshining.
