Author: Laurelin Paige

Release Date: February 4, 2014

Publisher: Samhain Publishing

He’s ready for his close up, but she’s the one calling the shots.On the night of her graduation from film school, straight-laced Maddie Bauers fell completely out of character for an oh-my-god make-out session with a perfect stranger. Complete with the big O.Seven years later, that romantic interlude is still fresh in her mind. That stranger is now a rich and famous actor. And she’s one very distracted camera assistant working on his latest production. She might consider another tryst…if he even remembers her.

Micah Preston does indeed remember Maddie. Too bad he’s sworn off Hollywood relationships. He allows himself as much sex as he likes—and oh, he does like—but anything more is asking for trouble. For the woman, not for him. Yet knowing Maddie could want more than a movie-set fling doesn’t stop him from pursuing her like a moth drawn to hot stage lights.

But as the shoot nears its end, it’s decision time. Is it time to call, “Cut!” on their affair, or is there enough material for a sequel?

Warning: Contains a dreamy movie star hero, a focus-pulling heroine, off-the-charts instant chemistry, steamy sex in near-public locations, and a new use for lip gloss.

Laurelin Paige’s books always seem to take seemingly vulnerable characters and make them strong.  Madde is a sweet, smart, and driven girl who meets a boy at a party in college, years later that same boy is movie heartthrob Micah.  That alone made this story hilarious, fascinating, and fun to read.  While Micah couldn’t replace Hudson for me, he was still incredibly charming and hot.  Madde’s journey was less dramatic than Alayna’s.  She knew what she wanted and even though it was out of her comfort zone, she went for it.  She wasn’t dependent on Micah for anything.  Having Madde be such a different character than Alayna showed the gift of Laurelin’s writing.  Ultimately, she just writes good books.  Her characters are likable, engaging, and fun.  Whether they are camera girls or stalkers, they really do make you root for them.  I was really pleased to read this book, especially after reading the Fixed series.  It gave me a taste of what else Laurelin can offer as an author.  So if you liked the Fixed series, know that this book is different, but just as great.

eARC provided for an honest review.

Laurelin Paige is the NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Fixed Trilogy. She’s a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Mad Men and the Walking Dead, or dreaming of Adam Levine.
