Meet two dysfunctional products of Hollywood.
Star Davis and Jake Wild: they’ve met their match.
19-year-old, Oscar winning Star Davis is an A-list
movie star. Hell-raisingly beautiful, she tosses men aside like used Kleenex.
She commands 20 million per movie—or at least did until drugs, alcohol, wild
partying, and a police arrest sent her kicking and screaming into rehab.
Now she’s out, squeaky clean, and determined to win
the role she was born to play: the lead in Skye’s The Limit—ready to re-conquer
Hollywood.
26-year-old British director Jake Wild lives up to his
name: he’s the wildest player in town. He’s also Hollywood royalty. From a
family dynasty of powerful directors and producers, Jake’s home is a movie set.
With reams of hot starlets at his beck and call, Jake can get any woman he
wants. But with his new movie, Skye’s The Limit in pre-production, he’s decided
it’s time to get serious and change his philandering ways.
Star is “liability on legs” and Jake doesn’t want her
near his precious movie. But Star has wily ways of getting what she wants. And
apart from the role of Skye, what she wants is Jake right where he belongs:
Under her thumb.
Lights, camera, action . . .
But the action is not what Jake expected.
**Due to sexy strong language and
situations this book is recommended for readers 18+**

Rachael – ☆☆☆☆☆
This was a
quick, sexy read that I couldn't put down once I started it. Normally I don't
relate to a lot of characters that are under 20 (or even early 20s) so I
hesitated going into this story. To my surprise, I loved Star. Then again I
love the way Arianne has always been able to suck the reader in to her stories
and make you want to know more.
Jake is equally as messed up as Star. Both grew up in the limelight and both have a ton of baggage and issues because of it. However, both are now working towards getting their lives together and stay on the up and up. However, together they spark and they both have their own agenda, which complicates things.
I can't wait for the second part to see where Jake and Star go.

This is the
first in three novellas, so don't expect the story to be complete - it is an
introduction and taste of the heat to come (I hope!). We have the scene set up
with the two main protagonists, Star and Jake. Cleverly as they are manipulated
in the present, we get to see how much they are a product of their environment
and background. Any freedom they have is illusory at best, and this has caused
them to make poor choices in an attempt to regain control. As they get to know
each other a little, their respect grows ... and then maybe shatters again. But
no doubt book two will unveil more of their story.
