Emotionally raw, captivating, and realistic! What a book. Claire Raye has ensnared my heart and I don't think it's going anywhere. What an unexpected GIFT this story is I was blown away with this story

I didn’t read any adult romances for a long time. I forgot already how simple and relaxing it is. Even if it’s filled with drama, break-ups, and again more drama it’s still nothing compared to my heartbreaks while reading fantasy books.

This book is about a fabulous actress Julia Harris, who’s tired of her life as a celebrity. As much as she is thankful for having a dream job, she cannot handle having zero privacy. She’s working on the new movie in London where she meets Aiden Morrisey, a production assistant who is also a very talented scriptwriter. The story is very predictable, but it doesn’t make the story bad. The writing is very good and the story very interesting. It makes you read it in one sitting.

Julia is a sweet, down-to-earth girl who acts 80% of her time. She can be only herself when she is with her family and assistant Ava. When she meets Aiden, she feels a weird connection that pushes her into him. Their first meeting wasn’t a love from the first sight. Everything went wrong when Aiden accidentally offended her. He was working with many celebrities for a long time and when he meets her, he thought that she is the same as all of them. However, with the time she gives him another chance and invites him to her secret world of the real Julia Harris.
Aiden is very tired of his life. He wants to do something more with his life not only be a production assistant. He wants to write scripts and make movies. Meeting Julia turns his life upside down. The price for dating her is very high and as much as he wants her in his life, sometimes he cannot handle the pressure. However, he does everything to make her safe and happy. His character is one of my favorites, even if in the beginning he was a jerk. I hated how he was treated by one of Julia’s co-stars. He made him feel like he’s nothing, while he was the only one on set who should be kicked out on the first day of work. I’ve never read about a jerk like he is. Every time he opened his mouth I wanted to through up. He was full of shit and didn’t respect anyone. He thought he’s better than anyone there and that he deserves having everything he wanted. He made Julia’s life a nightmare by threatening her on a daily basis and sexually harassed her.

This book is a perfect example of many stories that illustrate how the life of female celebrities looks like. It’s not a living dream, it has so many disadvantages that make your life miserable. No privacy is one of the biggest prices that they need to pay. As cool as it looks in reality shows or movies, it’s much harder than people usually think. Besides the drama, the romance in this book is taken to another level. It’s getting spicier with each page so, if you like the hot stories, this one is just for you.

A cute little book that has you entertained and interested in all the characters from the start. I love Julia and her real view on life considering how many lights are shining on her. And Marcus just seems to be a great guy who's found the girl that makes his heart flutter. I love the dymanic between Marcus and his brother and the banter that they have.
Thanks for the ARC NetGalley I really enjoyed it.
