Lucky Star by Susannah Nix
5.0
This is the fourth book in Susanah Nix's Starstruck series (but it can easily be read as a stand alone). In this series, we have Hollywood heartthrobs who fall for people not in the industry, and each book gets better than the last!
Boone is the lead in an X-Files ish show that has been running for ten years. Recently his career has hit a snag because paparazzi have released a suspicious looking picture of him leaving his married co-stars home at all hours of the morning. His publicist wants to set him up with someone to date to clean up his image, but Boone wants to pick the girl, and he wants to pick the kind hearted barrista that he sees everyday at his coffee shop.
Eve works two jobs to make ends meet, has had a crush on Boone forever, and is a superfan of his tv show. When she sees him at the coffee shop each day, she treats him as a regular person though. One day, when she receives the terrible news that her best friend and roommate has been sleeping with her boyfriend, Boone sees her distress and comforts her. Without a place to live, she agrees to a fake dating relationship with Boone in exchange for a room in his home.
I absolutely loved everything about this book! Boone has been in a toxic relationship before, and is still navigating through all of the hurt that she has caused him. Eve has issues with anxiety and is struggling with her feelings of self worth. Both have been damaged by other people, and are trying to learn to trust again.
Our characters are wonderful together, and their chemistry is amazing. Watching them try to change Boone's image in the public eye, while trying to navigate their own relationship is incredibly satisfying. Susannah Nix's books always leave me wanting for more, and this one was no exception!
Thanks so much to Susannah Nix for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
