As an anthropologist, Holly McCartney is more comfortable in a museum than shopping on Rodeo Drive. She isn’t prepared for the media frenzy on her arrival in L.A. to accept a posthumous acting award for her late sister….or for her sister’s gorgeous friend Nate Devlin to come to her rescue. Though he resents her for some reason, she can’t fight their irresistible chemistry—especially when the paparazzi force her to stay at his mansion.

Photographer Nate only agrees to help Holly survive Hollywood for her sister’s sake, but she soon gets under his skin in a way no other woman has. The more time he spends with her, the more his attraction grows and he finds himself opening up to her in ways he never expected. But will ghosts of the past stand in the way of their perfect Hollywood ending?

My Review...

I had the opportunity to read this and I quite enjoyed it. It was a light fluffy read.

Right off the hop there is a butt load of miscommunications and assumptions which get them no where fast but Holly and Nate navigate their way through the mess coming out on top.

It was a cute story where Holly has some demons to deal with and comes to L.A to deal with them but is quickly intervened by Nate who has the wrong idea of Holly but once they get to actually know each other they quickly start to see their true selves and pasts start to heal and hearts start to open.

The chemistry and connection between the two was good and balanced with just enough angst, steam and love. 

I was an easy read and quite enjoyable. 4 thumbs up!
