Treasure

Rebekah Weatherspoon — 2014

Her sister’s bachelorette party is the highlight of a miserable year for Alexis Chambers, but once her bridesmaid’s dress is packed away, she’s back to coping with her life as a once popular athlete and violinist turned loner and the focus of her parents’ disappointment. She isn’t expecting much from her freshman year of college until she finds herself sharing a class with Treasure, the gorgeous stripper from her sister’s party. Trisha Hamilton has finally gotten the credits and the money together to transfer to a four-year university. Between classes, studying, and her job as a stripper, she has little time for a social life, until she runs into the adorably shy baby butch from the club. Trisha can’t seem to hide her feelings for Alexis, even when Trisha discovers what she has been through, but will Alexis have the strength to be just as fearless about their new love?

Okay I’m going to have to read a full length book by this author cause if she can commander this much plot without it feeling like info dumping I can’t even imagine what she could do with 300+ pages.

I loooved that their crushes were mutual but expressed in different ways unique to their personalities. This is new adult and written in a way I really enjoyed and felt realistic.

This was going to be a 5 star for me but unfortunately there is a scene while they are babysitting where there are just too many kids too close when shenanigans are happening and it was uncomfy. I feel like if this was written now (this does feel very current otherwise though) or just maybe one more beta reader I think this scene would’ve been cut. Even though they met under very steamy circumstances the rest of their spice wasn’t so out there in that way so it also didn’t feel consistent to their characters.

I have only read a couple of Weatherspoon's short stories. I wanted to read one of her novels but guess this is really a novella? I enjoyed this book. I don't normally read novels in this age group 18-22 (new adults?). I'll definitely checkout another of her books.
