As a fan the G-Man Series, I was thrilled to read the spin-off Walk of Shame by Andrea Smith. One of my favorite characters from the series hands down had to be Easton Matthews and so I couldn't wait to read the story of Easton and Darcy's son, Weston.
Walk of Shame is definitely a little more tame than The G-Man Series but other than that I did enjoy this book quite a bit. It definitely left me with a big fat smile on my face on how incredible sweet Weston Matthews is. And of course, Andrea treated readers to snippets of Easton and Darcy.
Rich, athletic and good-looking are three words that immediately describe Weston Matthews. As a senior at a prominent Ivy League University and one of the star players in his hockey team, Weston seems to have it all. The perfect family, the friends, and endless amount of puck bunnies and soritity sisters at his beck and call. But there is one problem, Weston needs to ace his Early American Lit class in order to graduate and stay eligible to play hockey for Hardwick University.
Penny Lane is assigned to be Weston's tutor for Early American Lit. Penny isn't easily charmed by Weston. She means business when she is tutoring him. What also makes Penny Lane different from the other girls is that Penny has a secret. And it's a big secret. Well in this case, Penny Lane doesn't actually exist. Penny Lane is demure, quiet, and a geek but once you remove the wig, fake teeth, glasses, contact lens, and old lady clothes, readers are introduced to Peyton Lang. So why the disguise? Well Peyton needed this tutoring project for her research thesis. So what will happen when Easton discovers that Penny Lane is actually the hot girl that he is attracted to?
Walk of Shame was your sweet college romance that was able to weave heart, family, friendly banter and emotions but with an added twist of secrets. What I really liked about this book was that Andrea Smith was able to show character growth with Peyton's character. She was able to showcase Peyton discovering that that not every rich male is pompous and arrogant. Weston was able to show us that he is not your stereotypical jock. He is smart, kind, sweet and an an all-around guy with a heart of gold. As an added bonus, Weston doesn't need any tutoring in the pleasure department because that is one subject he can ace blindfolded. Overall, I enjoyed Weston and Peyton's story and I HOPE that Andrea Smith will write a story for Weston's sister.
