⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Mac Randall has spent all his working life in the army and knows how fleeting that life can be.  When his faithless wife dies he is offered a totally different type of career,  as a stuntman. 
Keely Kennedy is a leading lady in Hollywood. She was thrust into the limelight unexpectedly and understands how much it impacts a person's life.  The dramatic events that follow the start of her latest movie will turn everyone's world upside down.
The loyalty and support from real friends is never more important than when things go wrong.  
This is a contemporary romance with suspense. Our characters don't realize the danger they are in.  Someone doesn't want this movie made.  
All the characters are dynamic and full of love but sometimes a little lacking in confidence.  The storyline will keep you entertained from the first to last page. 
If you have read any of the previous books in the series you will have met the supporting cast.  Because they play a big part in each story, the series is best read in order but each book can be read alone.  
Really good fun.

⭐⭐⭐⭐



London Russell was a super model by fourteen years of age. She was also starting a singer/songwriting career. A dreadful attack caused her to hide away from the public eye. Since then she was been working just on her music.
Knox Monroe has been a successful actor nearly all his life. He owes his adult stardom to a wonderful old lady. Her writing and faith in him landed him the best role of his life.  
This is a fabulous contemporary romance with great characters. It is a lot of fun with a little danger. 
You will meet characters from the previous stories in the series but each book could be read on it's own.  
Good fun.

Dash DeLauria is doing very well in his career as an action star in Hollywood. He always has a beautiful woman on his arm or in his bed.  But he wants more from both his career and his life.  There is much more to him than the public know and one person in his life who he loves above all.  
This is a contemporary romance with a dash of suspense and danger.  Lots of fascinating characters that are very easy to love,  and a great story full of love in all it's forms. Our heroine shows just how strong and capable she is.  
Very good fun.
