Goodreads summary:
Payton Archer's best friend, Claire, strives to be perfect in every way. Payton doesn't and this is her story.Racquel's thoughts:
Nick Hawke likes his car fast and his girls even faster. He blows through females quicker than his muscle car races down the "The Strip" in Collinsville and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Determined to avoid the devastation he has watched his father endure in the aftermath of his mother leaving, he believes there is no room in his life or his heart for a relationship lasting more than one night. He seeks happiness in things that won’t let him down...fast cars, adrenaline and one night stands. To his absolute dismay, all of that changes when he unexpectedly runs into an old friend and is introduced to Payton Archer, the first girl he ever wanted for more than one night. There’s only one catch...she is completely immune to him and his smooth talking ways.
Payton Archer is looking for what Claire has with Jessie, but she has given up on finding it...at least until she leaves for college in the Fall because she is certain that is where she will find the perfect guy to fit into her perfect world. She plans on Summer being nothing but three uneventful months of fun, but it turns out to be anything but ordinary when Payton is introduced to Nick Hawke, one of Jessie’s old Collinsville friends. She is shocked by her immediate and intense attraction for “Hawke” because nothing about him is what Payton is looking for. Sure, he’s hot and sexy but he comes from Collinsville and that is definitely not on her list of prerequisites. Everything about him makes Payton’s heart speed because he is exciting and dangerous, but his fast car and the dangerous chances he takes aren't what scares Payton the most...it’s the way Nick Hawke makes her feel every time he looks at her. Can Payton find that moment of total fearlessness and make the decision to leave the safe, shallow end of love to risk going under completely?
Georgia Cates's books seem to be a guilty pleasure of mine. They often include things that would make me hate a book but when it comes to Georgia Cates, I could set aside my pet peeves and just enjoy the romantic, drama ride and Shallow is no different.
I wasn't a big fan Payton in Going Under because she was the best friend and I never like best friends and I actually didn't like her throughout the beginning-- good thing I'm not one of those readers who needs to able to relate and love all the characters in the book so my annoyance with Payton wasn't a big deal, especially since she grew on me as the book progressed.
Nick Hawke is Mr. Cocky Sex Jedi. The kind of guy you want to punch in the face while you secretly dream of kissing him. It was nice seeing his ego get taken down a notch because of Payton! These two made a really explosive but nevertheless cute couple. Nick had to try new things to have a chance with Payton while Payton had to get over her "shallowness". It was a nice, entertaining set up. It was also nice seeing Jessie and Claire all cutesy throughout the book!
Again, both Going Under and Shallow are for you if you enjoy romance, drama and just guilty pleasure books. Seriously, just go BUY these two already!!
