Synopsis
After graduating college, Kelsey Morgan left her small-town Virginia roots to make it in LA. After years slogging in commercials and music videos, her movie career is finally taking off. But she's still miles behind her current costar, and Hollywood playboy, Patrick Lyons. Kelsey does everything she can to avoid Patrick off-set, hoping to not become fodder for the supermarket tabloids that scour the streets for Patrick, trying to get an exclusive look at him and his alleged woman of the week. Kelsey has successfully kept Patrick at a distance, and her reputation intact, until her drunkard brother-in-law Richard threatens to ruin everything by selling her darkest secret to the highest bidder. Now the victim of blackmail, Kelsey has nowhere else to turn but to Patrick's arms. But, can he be trusted? Or will the past destroy them all before she can find out if he's the hero she needs?
My Thoughts
Where do I start? Overall it was a nice novel. The characters were good, I loved Kelsey and Grayson but not the other two. The plot was well developed and held up nicely and it had a lot of twists and turns, it kept me from seeing ahead, and I like that. I never knew what to expect. The novel could have been a tad longer, and could have taken off a lot faster.
For me the novel dragged on a little bit with Kelsey trying to make up her mind of should I or shouldn't I. The novel could have been longer because after the end it just dropped. We don't get to see what happens in the aftermath of the secret being let out of the bag. Will there be a second novel to this book? I hope so.
My Rating: 3.5/5
Born and raised in Virginia, Kathryn Ascher tried her hand at poetry and fiction in high school, but put it all aside when she went to college. After graduating from Virginia Tech with her degree in communications, she married her college sweetheart and went to work for a local radio station. After her first child was born, she became a stay-at-home mom and began spending her free time crafting and reading.
It wasn’t until after the birth of her third child and a blind book exchange that Kathryn decided to give writing another try. When she picked up her first romance novel, she immediately knew that was the genre for her. She was drawn to the strong lead characters and the quirky secondary characters, the settings, the humor, and most importantly the feelings of falling in love for the first time. She hopes that her readers enjoy these aspects in her writings as well.
Kathryn recently moved from Roanoke, Virginia to Land O' Lakes, Florida with her husband and three children.
