Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

5 STARS AND ALL THE FEELS!!!!<\/b><\/p>\n

This book is a fun, steamy and emotional celebrity swoonfest that is nothing like I was expecting. It messed with my heart, but OMG it was worth it! It\u2019s a fun, sweet, sexy, emotional ride with just the right angst to make your heart race, and an absolutely beautiful love story. I love these characters, I love their journey, and I love this book!!!<\/p>\n

This book is the third and final in the Hollywood Royalty<\/i> series. There is some very minor crossover with characters from the previous books (which you should read because they’re awesome), but this one absolutely be read as a standalone.<\/p>\n

Carter Johnson is an ex child celebrity, now mega movie star who is about to take on the role that could launch him into super stardom. The only problem is his terrible reputation.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s the biggest gigolo out there,\u201d Sylvia says, \u201cand he\u2019s a PR nightmare. He was just shown on TMZ walking into a hotel with two women and then walking out six hours later with a smile on his face and a cigarette hanging from his mouth with his shirt unbuttoned. I think there were even scratch marks, and I saw at least one bite mark.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In order to improve his reputation in the lead up to his new film, PR intern Erin is brought in to revamp his image and keep him out of trouble. It\u2019s a nightmare assignment but the chance of a lifetime for Erin, because if she succeeds she\u2019ll get the job of her dreams. But she\u2019s got a massive job in front of her\u2026 with a very ticked off and unwilling client.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the next sixty days, you need to live the life of a monk, so you can\u2019t have sex.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat?\u201d I shriek. \u201cWhat in the fuck?\u201d
\nRyan laughs. \u201cAnd for the next thirty days, we are going to rebrand you.\u201d I shake my head, hoping I heard wrong. Surely, I heard wrong.
\n\u201cI don\u2019t understand,\u201d I say, looking at Jeff and then finally snatching the contract from in front of him. Surely, they can\u2019t stop me from having sex. Is there a law against stopping someone from having sex? That\u2019s not actually a thing, is it?
\n\u201cWell, we are going to be working with you on how to polish your image like a shiny nickel,\u201d Sylvia says. \u201cAnd we have Erin, who is going to work with you on doing just that.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love this set up! From the very beginning I was fully invested in both of these characters and their fantastic dynamic. The interplay between them is so much fun \u2013 antagonistic banter with a touch of flirting – Carter is so clearly interested in Erin, but given his reputation that doesn\u2019t mean a whole lot to her. But with them together all day every day, she gets to know him and Carter starts to let his guards down, things start to shift, and OMG it\u2019s so awesome!<\/p>\n

\u201cTell me that this isn\u2019t one sided.\u201d I hold my breath, waiting for her to answer. \u201cTell me that it\u2019s not just in my head.\u201d My other hand moves up to her cheek.
\nHer hands grab my wrists, and I think she is going to pull my hands from her face. \u201cIt\u2019s not just you,\u201d she says in a whisper, and I take the biggest leap of faith I\u2019ve ever taken when I lean my head down and crush my lips to hers. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carter is one of those a-hole characters that you can\u2019t help but fall madly for. It\u2019s obvious that he is carrying a lot of pain from his past. I totally get where he\u2019s at and why he\u2019s living the life he is, and Erin is just perfect for him! Strong, sensible, independent and not affected by his celebrity at all, she is right there with him as he starts this massive change in his life and they experience something incredibly profound together. Carter has never felt anything so honest before, he\u2019s never experienced such raw, all-encompassing feelings, and I love watching him fall so hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to be a regret.\u201d I shake my head. \u201cNot with you.\u201d
\nShe walks to me, and I\u2019m mesmerized by her. \u201cCarter.\u201d She puts her hand up to cup my cheek.
\n\u201cDon\u2019t,\u201d I tell her. \u201cIf you touch me, it\u2019s all going to be over.\u201d I grab her hands in mine and hold them in front of us. \u201cThis is the first thing that I\u2019ve had that isn\u2019t because of who I am.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a squee-inducing romance that is full of chemistry and feels. It\u2019s intense, and though it\u2019s quick moving, it has the feel of a slow burn because it builds so beautifully. It\u2019s passionate and swoony and oh-so-hot, and the fact that it\u2019s a secret just adds to the intensity, and I loved it all!<\/p>\n

\u201cThis thing between us is ours and only ours until we both decide to share it.<\/i><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not an easy ride for them though. They have some pretty huge hurdles to navigate, and oh how my heart ached for them. There is drama and angst, my heart broke (like, it literally hurt) and I actually started yelling out loud at one point, but I love the way it was handled and the way it all played out. It\u2019s angst done right. The conflict, and the resolution of it, is such a big part of the story rather than just a tacked-on bit of drama for the sake of drama. It\u2019s a true part of their journey and though it\u2019s definitely hard at times, I love that we got to see it all \u2013 from their heartwrenching reactions and realisations, to working through it individually and as a couple, and I love that!<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the good in me is because of you \u2026 You showed me what it was like to love someone without any strings attached. You showed me that, Erin.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And all of that heartache is worth it for the absolute swoony perfection that is the HEA part of this book. There are twists and turns as it all plays out, and a number of surprises that add so<\/i> much to the story, and there is something so special about Carter and Erin finding their way forward. I was completely swept up in it all and there is not one, but two beautiful epilogues which finish everything off beautifully!<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you because you complete me. I love you because with you, I know everything is going to be okay. I love you because no matter what life throws at me, as long as I get to spend my days and nights with you, nothing could go wrong.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I loved this book so much. It\u2019s something a bit different from Natasha Madison, and I was really nervous there in the middle, but she pulled it off and delivered a beautifully heartfelt story that had me completely hooked from start to finish.<\/p>\n

Absolutely fantastic – 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
