Summary:
Onto every diva’s backside, a little wood must fall.Lights, Camera, Book 2
Hollywood actress Heather Wainwright was looking forward to a long, relaxing break before starting her next shoot. Except her assistant volunteered her for L.A.’s annual 24 Hour Plays.
Nervous about doing a good job for such a worthy charity, Heather falls back on “diva” mode, a defense mechanism that always carries her through. Until she encounters something that really gets on her nerves—a lowly carpenter whose Norse god eyes pierce right through her.
Highly sought-after production designer Seth Rafferty has little patience for A-listers with superior attitudes, which is why his attraction to Heather is absurd. Yet, sensing vulnerability beneath her screen-queen act, he lets her assumptions play out.
After the wrap party, Heather awakens with little memory of the night before—except that Seth gave her the best orgasm of her life, then disappeared. When he shows up on the set of her next movie, she winds up to give him a piece of her mind…and Seth shows her just how stinging hot “chemistry” can get.
Warning: Contains an outwardly snobby actress with a good heart, a delicious carpenter with a power drill, some much-deserved spanking, and an appropriately consensual—if tipsy—orgasm, as well as sex at an inappropriate time of the month.
About Laurelin: Laurelin Paige is the NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Fixed Trilogy. She's a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there's kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn't seem to complain, however. When she isn't reading or writing sexy stories, she's probably singing, watching Mad Men and the Walking Dead, or dreaming of Adam Levine.
4 Stars
Heather is a diva she's worked hard to be where she is and looks down on those with blue collar jobs. It's not that she has anything against them, really, but she just doesn't want to associate with them. Like I said DIVA!!! So her attraction to some carpenter is ridiculous, and there's no way she's giving into it. Right?
Seth isn't ashamed of his past but when he sees the way Heather looks down on him when she thinks she knows what he does, he doesn't correct her. His attraction to this haughty princess is beyond annoying and there's not a chance he's going there, until he sees the vulnerability behind her eyes when no one is looking.
When they have an explosive night, one Heather thinks she mostly missed because she was drunk, she thinks that's the last she saw on Seth. Until he shows up on her set. Their attraction is explosive and as they grow closer Heather has to decide if she's ready to let go of her past, and Seth has to decide if the secret he kept from her will ruin what they have. Their future together depends on allot of things, can they overcome it all and find happiness?
Heather is a haughty, toity, B*tch with a capital B. At least that's the image she lets others see, but for those who know her best, they can see through it. She was hurt by her childhood and while she tried to move past it and bury it, it wasn't until Seth that she realizes how she needed to really let it all go.
Seth is a good guy who overcame allot to get where he is. Keeping secrets is what screwed up his last relationship, but it's not until he sees how things could be with Heather, that he sees just what his secrets could do to someone else. He a strong alpha male which makes for allot of Fun (wink wink) in the bedroom, and the trailer, and the tent, and well you get it. My only annoyance with him was him being a chicken about telling the truth when he know he should.
Great read and this can be read as a standalone.
