***** 4 Stars ***** 
 Can be read as a standalone. 
 After I finished the Full Tilt series, I had to get my hands on this book about Zelda. This heartwarming story is a spin-off but it can be read as a standalone. 
 Zelda leaves her job in Las Vegas to follow her dreams in New York. She takes a risk to get her graphic novel published. But after three interviews, she only finds disappointment because her story lacks 'heart.' 
 With her funds dwindling, her only option is to head back to Vegas. But fate leads her to Beckett Copeland. 
 Beckett Copeland is juggling two jobs. During the day, he is a bike messenger. At night, he buses tables at an Italian restaurant. It's hard for him to get a decent job because of his criminal record. 
 As he is behind a little on rent for his tiny studio apartment, Zelda asks to be his roommate. This way she gets time to make some revisions, while Beckett doesn't have to worry about his financial situation. 
 The tiny studio forces them to get close, and painful truths from the past come to light. Beckett helps her heart heal, and even helps her complete the novel. 
 I love the graphics in the story. It really makes this story unique. The romance between Zelda and Beckett grows smoothly and gradually. Before I knew it, I was so attached to the characters.
