Jessica<\/p>\n

An entertainment journalist was the last thing I thought I would be doing.<\/p>\n

I thought once I got my degree, I would be reporting on stories that made a difference, but now all I do is report on who broke up with who and who is dating who.<\/p>\n

I was over it.<\/p>\n

Then I got my next assignment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He\u2019s Hollywood\u2019s bad boy.<\/p>\n

He works hard, and he plays even harder.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s rude, he\u2019s condescending, and he\u2019s made it known he doesn\u2019t want me on the tour.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With one month on the road with him, two things might happen<\/p>\n

One, I may never work in this industry again.<\/p>\n

Two, I may just be like everyone else and fall for Hollywood\u2019s Playboy.<\/p>\n

Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

\u201cI pick her. I choose her every second of every fucking day.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4.5 chemistry-filled, swoontastic stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holy freaking swoon, I love this book! A celebrity enemies-to-lovers romance with all the chemistry, all the hotness, all the feels, and a sexy, emotional and super-romantic love story.<\/p>\n

Jessica is an entertainment reporter, and she\u2019s the best in the business. It\u2019s definitely not where she saw her career going, but she took the job as a temporary thing and years later she has the best contacts, the best scoops, and a reputation as a shark. That doesn\u2019t mean she likes it though. And things get worse when she gets her next assignment \u2013 she has been invited on a 30 day worldwide press tour with Hollywood\u2019s golden playboy, actor Tyler Beckett.<\/p>\n

Tyler\u2019s latest movie is expected to be his biggest yet, but the last thing he wants is a 30 day press tour with ten entertainment reporters all up in his business. Especially when one of those reporters is ruthless Jessica Hawthorn. She\u2019s reported on him before, of course, and he knows from experience that her stories can hurt, and he wants nothing to do with her. But she\u2019s the best, so she\u2019s on the tour and he doesn\u2019t have a choice.<\/p>\n

And from the first moment, sparks fly. Neither of them hold back their feelings about being forced together for 30 long days, and it\u2019s all on!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty safe to say you know that I don\u2019t want you here,\u201d he says, folding his arms over his chest and puffing it out more.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s safe to say I don\u2019t want to be here any more than you want me here.\u201d I lean in to him, trying not to hiss. \u201cThe last thing I thought I would ever do was be stuck with you for thirty seconds, much less thirty gruelling days.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The animosity is real, and though there is an attraction, they\u2019re both annoyed that they feel it, and it takes a while for things to change, but as they begin to spend real<\/i> time together, a tentative friendship forms which naturally, easily and unexpectedly turns into more, and I was glued to my kindle as it all unfolded!<\/p>\n

\u201cAll day.\u201d My lips kiss her lightly, my heart beating, my chest heaving. \u201cAll week. Scratch that, for two weeks I\u2019ve wanted you more than I\u2019ve ever wanted anything in my life.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Squeeeee! This is such an exciting romance. The chemistry is intense, and I could feel every moment of the build-up, so that when the big moment actually comes, it\u2019s a squeal-inducing feeling of epicness that doesn\u2019t really let up for the rest of the book. It\u2019s pure and honest, the sexual tension is awesome, the feels are intense, and I was right there with them through every stage of their relationship. They are keeping things quiet from the rest of the group, and the secretive flirtation adds a really fun element, and I swooned and fanned myself at all of the romance and the utterly delicious steaminess.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m lost in everything that she gives me, lost in her scent, her touch, just her.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And just sayin\u2026 Tyler Beckett now owns my heart *dreamy sigh*. He\u2019s sweet, fun, and so freaking sexy, and he handles his job and his celebrity brilliantly! And Jessica is a great heroine \u2013 she\u2019s strong, smart and very relatable, and I just love them together!<\/p>\n

But their dreamy bliss has its challenges. Between Jessica\u2019s job and Tyler\u2019s celebrity, they have a lot they need to deal with and it\u2019s not always an easy ride. But it is an incredibly emotional and swoony one, and my heart was pounding and I was madly flipping pages as it all played out.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can I let you be when I can\u2019t breathe without you? How can I let you be when half of my soul is missing when I\u2019m not near you? \u201c<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The journey around the world provides a wonderful backdrop for the love story to unfold, with lots of sweet moments for the two of them in the middle of all of the madness, and wow, I loved it. There is some drama, but it works well to enhance the story, and though it doesn\u2019t come as a surprise, I still enjoyed watching it all unfold.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a fun tie in to Faux Pas<\/a> and a glimpse of the couple in the next book of the series, which will be a standalone, and I\u2019m really excited to get my hands on that one!<\/p>\n

I loved this book. A genuinely enjoyable read that is swoony, sexy and beautifully emotional, and another fantastic read from Natasha Madison!<\/p>\n

4.5 stars!<\/p>\n

Abou<\/strong>t the Author<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"When her nose isn\u2019t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she\u2019s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It\u2019s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn\u2019t listen to her\u2026<\/p>\n
