The star of MTV’s #1 rated show, The Hills, Lauren Conrad has plenty of firsthand knowledge about growing up in the limelight. In L.A. Candy, the first of a deliciously scandalous three-part series, nineteen-year-old Jane Roberts moves to L.A. and unexpectedly becomes the star of a reality T.V. show. With fame comes wealth, hot clothes and even hotter love interests -- but soon, Jane realizes everyone wants something from her, and nothing is what it seems to be. A fast-paced, honest and entertaining fictional account of what it’s like to come of age in Hollywood while starring in a hot reality series, L.A. Candy is the perfect treat to kick off your summer.
Always Look on the Closet Floor First
Jane Roberts leaned against her dresser, studying the way her white silk nightie looked against her sun-kissed skin. Her loose blond curls cascaded softly over her shoulders as she pretended not to be interested in the guy in her bed.
“Come over here -- or am I going to have to come get you?”
Jane smiled mischievously at the ground, then raised her face to him, staring into his chocolate brown eyes. She slinked back to the bed, slid onto the white silk sheets, and nestled next to him.
“Janie, you’re the most amazing girl I’ve ever met. I’m so in love with you, it’s crazy,” he said, gazing into her eyes.
“Really, Caleb?” Jane smiled, and reached for him . . . . . . and woke up to find herself lying next to some strange, sweaty guy. Some strange, sweaty, half-naked guy. He smelled like bad cologne and armpits and pot.
He rolled over sleepily in her direction. “Cassandra?” Jane yanked the sheet (not silk) around herself as she sat up -- which was not entirely necessary, since she was wearing her favorite faded baby blue Gap jammies that covered . . . well, everything.
“Who the hell are you?” she yelled.
