The second full-length novel in the Hollywood Love series, follows the story of Ely and Alex who we first meet in Seeking Stars and Love in Times of Contempt, respectively. Brought in to work at Ana and Liam’s production company, their early relationship is defined by their initial impressions of each other.
While the banter and sexual tension between our main characters is a selling point, the depression and mental health rep is unparalleled. The author does a fantastic job of showing through Alex how depression and therapy can look different for everyone. And although he might appear prickly on the outside, he actual has a tender and artistic side that has been stifled by depression and corporate burnout.
Ely, our plus-size Latina lead, is unapologetically herself with a lot of heart and fierce love for her friends and employees. She’s not afraid to speak up for those she cares about and her personality really shines throughout.
If you are looking for a workplace romance, a smidge of antagonists to lovers and steamy read that will leave with all the warm and gooey feelings at the end, I highly suggest you check this book out.
I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
