WOW - what a great read and novel storyline - first by this author but definitely not the last. Excellent writing, editing, characters !!! So what's it about ??? 
 Emilia[Mia] Strong is a 22-yr old online gamer/blogger whose just completed her premed studies with an aim to enter med school. Loved her character - smart-mouthed, witty, sarcastic but also selfless and loyal. She's in dire financial straits - most of her earned income goes to help her mom, who post-cancer is struggling to keep up their ranch/B&B. Mia pretty much lives in squalor - the online gaming and her gamer's blog providing stress relief as her output to escape from reality. 
 She's decided that at 22 and still a virgin that it's time to give it up - and at the same time make some money to help her mother with the ranch and finance her med school. Hence 'The Virgin Manifesto' posted on her blog - basically an online auction of her virginity to the highest bidder. And speaking of which enter Adam Drake, 26 yr old mega-rich, self-made, uber-gorgeous CEO of the gaming empire that developed Mia's favourite online game. 
 The story follows Mia and Adam as they attempt to complete the terms of the Manifesto agreement. There is tons of great banter exchanges between these two in addition to some steamy chemistry - loved their characters. 
 A totally novel storyline for me but it really worked. And the fact that this is the first of a trilogy with NO CLIFFHANGER makes it work even better. 
 *5 Stars*
