ssejig's review against another edition

This might be an interesting series later but this book needed just a little more character growth for me to believe that this was going to be an HEA.
Ashlyn is happy (more or less) running her bakery and avoiding her one and only True Love Dante Fontaine, yes, of the Hollywood Fontaines. But then she runs into him (in a situation that is one that pops up in romance novels but isn't one of my favorites.) And he realizes that she is still his True Love and he might have a chance (or something like that). Then he keeps running after her because he wants her even though she repeatedly says "No, nope, nopity nope." Usually I would DNF after about the third instance of this but I was tired and somehow kept going.
They eventually do end up together but there was not near enough groveling and I'm not exactly sure why she took him back other than her lady bits kept telling her to.

“don’t you ever apologize for how you feel. There’s no shame in emotions.” She glances over at me. “Some people spend most of their lives hiding their emotions. Or burying them down so deep that even they don’t recognize what they’re feeling. If something in this life makes you feel something, let it. Don’t judge yourself for it.”
If you think this book will be glamour full of celebrity, how their life, mmmm it's not like that. I'm okay though but that's make me doesn't really attach with the story. It's fast pace, we're stuck in Ashlyn mind and it's didn't give so much view of the world of the book. Mostly about her confusion about Dante. I can't feel the connection for Dante character, i don't know why.
So why i give it three stars ? the story it's good for me, about second chance, how to bring back those trust, i like to see when the male lead try their best to take back what they broke, and how the female lead try to process all of that.
“I’ve made a lot of mistakes when it comes to you,” Dante says. “And every time I see that look in your eyes, it kills me a little more. But I’m done making mistakes, Ashlyn. I’m done doing anything that makes you believe, even for a second, that you aren’t the world to me. Because you are, Ashlyn—you are everything. You mean more to me than anything else, and even if it takes me my entire life to prove that to you, I’m not going to rest until I do.”

Ok, so I am having a problem rating this book. 90% of it was a solid 4 star read for me, but at the beginning when the h walks in on the H having sexy times with his brothers fake fiancee pretty much cast a shadow over the rest of the story! It was all I kept picturing the WHOLE DAMN BOOK.
Also, and I really, really, really hope I am wrong, but from the sounds of the last chapter I am afraid that for the next book (Luca's story)it sounds like he may be interested in the fake fiancee more then just as a rouse, and if that is the way it is going that would mean the fake fiancee will have slept with Dante, and also be in Ashlyns face. Ew, just ew!
So ya, confused on a rating party of one here!
