In the land of Hollywood, bright lights cover lies, truths hide in shadows, and the lives of the rich and famous are illusions created by smoke and mirrors.
When costume designer Josie Bane first lays eyes on Anders Ellis, she hates him instantly. Conceited and arrogant, he’s the epitome of a Hollywood playboy. So it’s much to Josie’s dismay when he becomes the star of her sexual fantasies.
Never expecting to see him again, she gives in to her desires for a night she’ll never forget. However, Josie soon learns that life is full of surprises. When their paths cross again, sparks fly. With three little words, Anders changes everything.
He’s after one thing.
She refuses to give it to him… again.
When Josie realizes she’s falling for a man that will never let her in but refuses to let her go, she must decide if the risk is worth the reward.
With a relationship shrouded in secrets and outside forces poised to tear them apart, did they ever stand a chance? Before the smoke clears and the curtain falls, Josie and Anders must distinguish between what’s fact and what’s fiction in a place where the truth is never black and white.
MICHELLE’S REVIEW
I was super excited about this book having heard good things. If you like angst- this book is for you. I personally had heartburn through most of it.
This is the story of Josie and Anders.
Josie: I really liked her. Really did. She was a strong woman pretty much the entire time . There were a few moments throughout the book where I felt she was being a tiny bit of a pushover and in real life I would have been over Anders shit a lot sooner than she was- BUT overall I think she was a really strong female character.
I mean the fact that she didn’t set him on fire within the first 3 chapters shows that she has the patience of a saint.
Anders. (insert dramatic sigh)
I just don’t even know what I feel about this guy. I have to admit- I never got behind him completely. I just couldn’t. He was actually too selfish for me.
But he was hot in and out of bed and I kind of loved their banter actually. He was an IDIOT most of the time though. I hated how he jumped down Josie’s throat for every little thing that went wrong.
Overall though- like I said- if you love angst- you will eat this book up. It is angst times 1000. You’ll get your money’s worth too cause I felt like this was a fairly long book.
There’s a lot to love about this story and those things make up for some of my problems with Anders and how he deals with things. Overall- I think its a worthy read and a great debut.
