Overall Rating: 3.5/5
When actor Parker Stigwood stuns the
world by doing the unthinkable on live television, he's convinced his career is
over. Disgusted by Hollywood hypocrisy, he pushes the pause button on his life
and retreats to his parents' home in Dareville to contemplate his future.
Little does he realize, various forces have plans for him on a personal and
professional level.
Luke Hall is excited to direct his
first play for the local arts center, more so when the handsome movie star
volunteers to watch rehearsals and offer pointers. Luke would rather watch
Parker, but there are interruptions to his viewing pleasure. When a
well-meaning friend seeking benefits places doubts in Luke's head about
Parker's intentions, Luke wonders if their relationship will bomb at the box
office.
On and off-stage, Luke and Parker's
passion sizzles. But will Parker dare to act on his feelings for Luke and leave
his star behind for good?
Right off the bat I had mixed feeling
about Parker. I took my hat off to him for taking a stand and calling “the
industry” out on their bull. What I didn’t like was the random sex that
took place between Parker and some Hollywood actor then a few days later he’s
hooking up with Luke in another act of random sex.
I can understand their relationship
starting out as this passionate burst of lust that part was actually
believable. I liked that the pair let their relationship grow into something.
The book had sweet moments and tender romance. There were things they had to
overcome.
While it wasn’t the best book I’ve read in no way was it the
worst. Though there were moments that gave me pause, a few things seem out of
place and a little unnecessary, but that could just be because I’m picky about
everything. All in all it was a good read
