This is an awesome kickstart to a new series, featuring two college students; Jess Leighton and Will Harrigan, both with hopes of fulfilling a future dream.

Jess is currently saving up money to pay for grad school, and she's working on it by being a papparazzo, snapping pictures of celebrities, young and old, for an agency. This is her only job, and she can't afford to lose it and even slack off. Always on the lookout, she's on alert as to where to find the right celebrity and even has them memorized from flash cards. Yes, that's how serious she is. But the moment she starts sensing competition from the new British hottie, Will Harrigan, who keeps popping up everywhere she tries to do her work, she feels the need to get all territorial.

Will is on the lookout of a permanent job, someone to sponsor his stay in the States in order to shift his soon-to-expire student visa to a working one. And with Jess, he can't stop thinking about his 'American Girl'. All the more to stay in L.A. But Jess has no time for a relationship, she's sure she doesn't need or want one, but this British hottie will surely change her mind.
She was lovely. And hot. And feisty. Translation-everything I liked best.
All of a sudden, his actions get a wee bit suspicious about him being a paparazzo. And then he tells her that he's got connections that can get them into the hottest and biggest celebrity wedding of all time. How can she ever turn that down? If she's going to want to nab those photos, she's going to have to trust him.

This is a funny, sexy beginning to this young hot couple and these two has got me hooked. The chemistry and the hilarity between them is just over the top, because for one thing, British men are hot (I have a Will bias). Reading this without the next book in the series, Stars In Their Eyes will make you frustrated because... CLIFFHANGER! This novella will definitely prep you for the steamy and sexy scenes in the next book.
