About A GIRL LIKE YOU
Sam Westbrook has always been the family hell-raiser, but as an adult he's enjoyed not being under the constant watchful eye of his family. That was until his great-grandfather passed away. Forced to move to the small coastal town of Magnolia Sound, Sam can't escape the reputation that has followed him since his teenage years. But he'll have to do it to get his inheritance.
Shelby Abbott was always the good girl – it's what happens when you're the pastor's daughter in a small town. Now, she's ready to leave that image behind. For years she's heard about wild Sam Westbrook, but she never though she would be the one to catch his eye. And being the center of Sam's attention isn't something Shelby ever prepared for.
Sam's time in Magnolia Sound has an expiration date and Shelby's not sure she's the kind of girl who can be just another one of his flings. But Sam's ready to make some changes. And a girl like her is just who he needs.

Review:
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
A Girl Like You is book 2 (3 if you count the prequel) in the Magnolia Sound series by Samantha Chase. The main characters are Sam who has to take over his grandfather's company for a year if I recall correctly in order to inherit and counts down the days until his "jail time is over". He is a free spirit and is not one to be tied down. Shelby is a shy librarian who still tries to please her parents and is a little bit freer than Mason. If you have read the previous book, you will understand what I am talking about. If you haven't go and read it. (Btw, I can't wait for his story)
I am not a big fan of manwhore heroes and I wasn't very happy that Sam's past was brought up so often, but I don't think that he deserved all the heat he got. He certainly deserved some because he was not an angel though. He doesn't want to settle into the town and he makes it known at least in the beginning. He has some realizations as we reached the end of the book and I could call that character development. I liked him less than I liked his lady, to be honest. Shelby is not a virgin so we didn't get the manwhore/virgin trope, but she is very suppressed, she doesn't go out and lives in her shell. She is the kind of person you don't glance at twice and her personality reflects that. She spends quite some time wondering why Sam is hanging out with her and waits for the other shoe to drop. I didn't like that. She had some growth and I was very happy to see her abandoning the shell and been her own person. One who doesn't wear glasses because she is afraid of what her parents will tell.
I enjoyed the story even if I wasn't happy with Sam's history. He and Shelby are a good couple and they helped each other get over their hang-ups, which is all I can ask in a novel. They got someone who understood them and loved them for who they truly were.
