A best-friends-to-lovers celebrity romance it\u2019s sweet, sexy, gorgeously romantic and blessedly angst-free, and I loved it!<\/p>\n<p>Nova is a free-spirited daughter of hippies living in a longboat that she lovingly renovated, currently moored in the middle of a canal in Wales. Presley has been Nova\u2019s best friend since their school days, and he\u2019s now a huge Hollywood action star. When intimate pictures are released of him online, he needs to get out of LA, and he runs right to Nova.<\/p>\n<p>Confined in a small boat over Christmas, Nova and Presley lose themselves in the familiarity of their close friendship, but this time there\u2019s a tingle of something else. While they\u2019ve both entertained fantasies of the other, and privately acknowledge that they have feelings of more than just friendship towards each other, they\u2019ve never spoken of it or acted on it\u2026 until now.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI caught feelings for the person who means the most to me in the world.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I loved seeing these two finally confess their feelings and act on their attraction to each other (hot!). They already love each other deeply, and the shift to <i>more<\/i> is natural and easy, honest and heartfelt, and it feels so right for both of them. I was gleefully swept up in the romance of it all.<\/p>\n<p>But Presley has a career to rescue and Hollywood is calling \u2013 as is a potential fake celebrity romance to restore his image. He and Nova have to figure out how to make their relationship work with the hurdles between them, and thank God, it\u2019s blessedly functional as they work it all out.<\/p>\n<p>This is great little read. Short and sweet with a nice amount of emotion, I finished it feeling all fluffy with a big grin on my face.<\/p>\n<p>4 stars!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buy:\u00a0 Amazon Review \u201cYou were the only place I wanted to come to.\u201d 4 stars!
