First time ever reading a novel by Beth Kerry and I have to say, it was't all bad. I thought the storyline was very different, I mean really how many times do you hear about an Ex-military working in show business as a special effects/makeup artist? Uh, like NONE! I loved the plot of it all and the dynamic with Seth and Gia was pretty great to see unfold. What began as a one night stand developed into something so much more when Seth has to basically protect Gia from something and , hey, while I'm in hiding with my super hot make-up artist/protector who i'm insanely attracted to, why not get it on?!
I did have some issues with the story as much as I liked it. One, I thought it dragged a bit, there were scenes(the rod trip_ where it kinda dragged but I can see why it was necessary. the other thing I had a slight issue with is all the breaks within a chapter. the book is not written in any main person POV, more like as told by a third person and it's rather annoying with all the breaks in between the chapter, seemingly switching from one character to the next but not really.
the last thing that really bothered me was the detail. i get attention to detail, i do really,but when I know every singe move the character makes, and i mean every. single. move it gets old real quick.
I would read more by this author and recommend her books, if these small things were overlooked by the nest reader.

Seth Hightower knows all about make-believe. As one of Hollywood's premier special effects artists, it is his business to craft facades, to help actors and actresses become their characters. When he and Gia Harris meet by chance, he doesn't know that she is well on her way to becoming Hollywood's new 'It' girl, a rising star in the film world. Their chemistry is explosive, and their hot encounter is one that neither one will forget.
Being a fan of hot alpha men who know what they want and aren't afraid to grab it, ONLY FOR YOU seemed like just the kind of read for me. Seth Hightower is all of this and then some. Not only does he possess fabulous artistic ability, he is also a former military intelligence officer, and it is both these talents that have led to his reunion with Gia, now a star in her own right, and the chief witness in a high-profile criminal case. The powers-that-be need Seth and his expert abilities to both hide and protect Mia until she can testify in the case. But there is one big problem: Seth doesn't 'do' actresses, and, although he and Gia are still attracted to each other, he is adamant that they keep things professional. But, the best laid plans, and all of that, because it isn't long until they are unable to deny their feelings for each other and take up where they left off two years previously. Did I say hot? The sexy time scenes in this book had me fanning myself. They are SCORCHING.
I very much enjoyed not only the plotlines, but the characters in ONLY FOR YOU. Seth and Gia are well matched, and, despite their differences, really make it work as a couple. As well, the action is fast-paced, and I found it hard to put this read down. I look forward to reading more by Beth, and seeing more leading men like Seth.
