Book Summary:

ONE movie star on the cusp of greatness
ONE broken girl who touched him
TEN years to forget her
A MILLION stories in Hollywood
———–
I am not hurt.

I don’t need a second chance with him, or a life I thought I had.

While he was out forgetting me to become a movie star, I was building a career out of nothing. A career as a paparazzi, but a career. For a foster kid who bounced around every home in Los Angeles, that wasn’t easy.

This camera is all I have.

He’s nothing to me. Every time I take his picture and sell it, I remind myself that I did it all without him or his approval, his cinnamon smell or his clear green eyes. He lights up the screen like a celestial body, but he’s nothing but a paycheck to me.

He can throw my camera off a balcony, and nothing has to change. We can stay king and queen of the same city, and different worlds.

Except this is Hollywood, and here, anything can happen.

Review:

This is C.D. Reiss’ first standalone contemporary romance and I’m already itching for more. My grabby hands are on high alert.

This book is completely beautifully written, engaging, romantic, sexual. endearing and alluring. I COULD CONTINUE. After I finished I fangirled, gushed and smiled so goddamned wide. C.D. gives us another peek into that genius brain of hers and I am once again in love with the result. I’ll read anything she writes. Not because of loyalty, but because I prefer to read fantastic books and she excels at writing them. The words are strung together as if it’s effortless. It’s funny, smart, and witty. It’s perfection.

I was hooked on this one from the beginning. Laine and Michael are amazing characters who are written so you feel like you know them. Laine’s a paparazza. She’s worked her ass off to obtain the highest acclaim in her chosen field and she owns LA. She gets all of the tips – she’s there before the celebrities even know something’s going down. She’s damn good at her job and she knows it. She’s unapologetic, strong, and yet not invasive.

She and Michael actually know each other – they went to the same school for a short period of time back when Laine was fifteen…nothing happened, and yet EVERYTHING happened. Their interaction then fuels their interaction now. Michael’s an A-list celebrity. Obviously, therein lies the problem. When Laine and Michael reconnect, Laine is forced to choose between her life as she knows it, or the future she doesn’t.

Not only does Laine go through some life changes, but Michael does as well. I adored Michael as he began to let loose a bit. His world has been turned upside down but he doesn’t want to return to the life he knew before Laine. He may be the only person who can really see Laine behind the lens.

This book is full of steamy sex and sweet moments. There’s a bit of danger, a bit of drama and a whole of hotness. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Excerpt:

I stroked his hair, waist deep in peace, all worry gone for the moment, and floating in no more than an ocean of gratitude. I must have been more vulnerable than I realized, or he’d reopened some wound with his kindness, because though my sweet reverie stayed, as the minutes passed, a layer of need fitted itself on top of it.

I needed to tell him, if not the details, the outlines of who I was.

“I want you to know,” I whispered, starting somewhere small, then everything I didn’t want to say spilled out. “I have stuff. I’ve never been to jail, but you know, it’s stuff, and it’s ugly, and it scares me. Because, I mean, you’re so perfect, and I’m… I’m just a mess. I’m not whole. I’m a bunch of pieces of a person I cobbled together.” My eyes got wet when I thought of the comparisons between us and that picture in my silverware drawer. “So if you have to move on when you realize that, I’ll understand. You have an image, and if anyone understands protecting a career, it’s me. I mean, I’ll be mad, don’t get that wrong, but also.” I swallowed and blinked, shifting my head so he wouldn’t feel the tear on his forehead. “I won’t blame you.”

I waited for an answer. Anything. A change in position or a word on any subject. The weather. Sports. Something. But all he did was breathe.

I smiled so wide, tears fell into my mouth. He was sleeping.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

cdreiss

CD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth; art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles.

Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once-over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
