3.5 to 4 Stars!

I am really torn when writing this review. I’m going to be honest and say that in the beginning I was struggling with some parts of the storyline. Sloan and Sebastian are twins and are working towards obtaining their dreams. Sloan wants to become a body builder and enter Mr. Olympia competitions, and Sebastian dreams about becoming a race car driver. In order to make some extra money, they both get a job with Devine Services as pool boys. However, the services they provide entail more than just cleaning pools.

Sloan is also recovering from a broken heart. So to protect himself, he avoids any relationship with every girl. Although, the one girl that has his attention is Katelyn, but he feels that she deserves more than someone like him. He’s broken and not ready to give 100% to her, especially with the job he has, but Katelyn doesn’t care and understands that he is working for what he wants.

Sebastian has been seeing Tegan off and on as a booty call, but eventually he starts to have feelings for her and wants their relationship to be permanent. Before making it official, Bash tells Tegan what he does for a living and what is expected of him outside of cleaning pools. Tegan decides that she is ok with it because of how much she loves him.

This is the part that I was struggling with. I know that this is a book, and that it is not real, but…I like when stories make you feel like they are real. You connect with the characters and feel what they feel. I didn’t get that from this. First off, what girl in their right mind would be ok with their boyfriends sleeping with other women and then coming home to them? Yes, I know, they are working for their dreams. But, really?? It just showed lack of respect for themselves for condoning it. I also had a hard time connecting with these characters at times because of the way they talked. Some of the stuff they would say or the way they would act, seemed just a little childish. I found myself struggling to continue, but I’m happy I did!

76% into the story there's a change of events and that’s when I was able to get into it. The characters started changing and the storyline became stronger. I even got a little emotional and in the beginning I never thought that would happen. It also had a totally different ending in my head after new circumstances came about. I really thought two certain characters would end up together but I was wrong! The last 20% of the story is what pulled me in, and has me looking forward to reading what comes next in Book 2 of the Pool Boys Series. I am interested in seeing how the story unfolds, and I am hoping to keep the connection with the characters!
