Before filming starts on her next movie, America’s sweetheart, Grace Carradine, wants a girls’ night out. As she dons a disguise to evade the paparazzi, her brown hair isn’t the only deception, so is her upcoming marriage to her costar. Naval-pilot-turned-author, Sebastian "Bash" Baron finds his friends are pairing up and starting families. Given his history, he knows that life isn’t for him—even if the period romance he wrote is being made into a movie. Those stories only exist in fiction—or other people’s lives. The two begin a secret romance, meant to last only as long as the starlet is on location in Bash's hometown. When the paparazzi, obligations, and pride tear them apart, will Bash come to his senses in time, or will Grace marry the wrong man?
This was a decent read. Some of the lines were a bit cheesy, but given the type of book it is, that tends to happen more times than not. I didn’t much buy into the love aspect of this book given the amount of time the book takes place.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

Sabastian “Bash” Barrington was a Navy fighter pilot but now is a writer. One of his books is being made into a movie and they are filming it in his home town. Out on the town with his Navy brothers who are all married he is feeling left out and thinking that because of his family that life as much as he wants it is probably out of his reach. Wanting a girl’s night out before filming America’s sweetheart Grace Carradine don’s a disguise and goes to a local establishment for one night of fun. What she does not expect is to be attracted to Bash, and he is attracted to her. She leaves early in the morning and then the first day of filming it turns out that she was not who she said she was because he is returning something that she left with him. What begins as one night turns into much more and when filming is over so is their time together. She is supposed to marry her costar David who she has known since childhood, but there is problems with that. There also is problems with her assistant who has been a friend since childhood as well. Now with no one to talk to or with she has to make her own choices that affect her. What she does is great. The characters are good in this story, and how his friends handle the paparazzi is perfect. Overall this is a good story and I liked everything about it. A good read.

Out of Time is a sweet, sexy romance. Grace is America's sweetheart who runs into Bash, a sexy former Navy pilot, when she's trying to escape a relentless paparazzi. They spend a hot night together and figure that's it. But when she walks onto the set of her new movie and Bash is there? Ooops. Yep, the movie was written by Bash and Grace is the star of his movie. It seems like they can just carry on but what about when Bash realizes she's engaged? To her costar? Of course, it's not going to go easy for the two, but eventually they fall into a secret relationship. It's hard, because Grace is doing her friend a favor and yet she is falling in love with Bash, even though the two agree it's only to last until the end of filming.

Bash and Grace are sexy together and both very likable. But I think my favorite part of Out of Time is the camaraderie and friendship between Bash and his friends, they're the real standouts of this story. I didn't realize this was not a complete standalone when I started reading this, because Bash and his friends are all part of a series, and it might explain why I felt as if I were missing a few things at first. I quickly picked up what was going on, though, and was able to enjoy it. Still, I think I should probably go back and read Out of Bounds and Out of Sight to see if they will add to my enjoyment of Bash and Grace's story.

Wow these series gets better with each book. Becoming one of my favourite series this year. Author has done a amazing job with this storyline and the brilliant characters she has written. Really great read and really enjoyed reading this book too. Can't wait for more by this author. Would recommend

I thought this book was partially fun and entertaining, although I would have liked the main characters to be more fleshed out and the relationship more romantic. But those weren’t the author’s options, so basically this is a insta-attraction and insta-sex story.
I was intrigued by the hero, Sebastian (Bash), a former SEAL turned writer – a charmer whom I’d met in “Out of Sight” – but I found his character in this book to be both sweet and arrogant, and even if I can appreciate the author’s craft creating a cocky and sometimes unpleasant hero, I’m not sure, honestly, if I like him.
The plot twists, Bash’s activity as a writer (and his parent’s story) and the strong and solid friendship relations between Bash and his buddies kept me interested throughout the reading, but the main characters' relationship evolved too quickly for my taste and I saw no real emotional chemistry between them.

Grace is an actress who wants a night out on the town, before she starts a new film, and ends up spending the night with retired navy pilot Bash. Come to find out, that the movie she is starring in, is about Bash, and they end up in the same studio, shocked to see each other, and that Grace is engaged. But all is not what it seems, or is it? Will they fight there attraction to each other? Will Grace marry the other guy? You have to read to find out..But its enjoyable.

My copy was glaringly in need of an edit. The book was pretty cute otherwise. Bad boy got drummed out of the Navy for sleeping with the admiral's wife. She was America's sweetheart actress posing as another man's fiancée.

This review is based on the ARC provided by the author and/or the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Before filming starts on her next movie, America’s sweetheart, Grace Carradine, wants a girls’ night out. Where she meats Retired navy-pilot-turned-author, Sebastian "Bash" Baron while hiding from the relentless paparazzi. He feels an instant connection to her and spend a sweet night together. Neither know there worlds will collide the next day when they are due on set to film a movie based from a book Bash wrote, staring Grace the gorgeous girl that slipped out on him earlier that morning.

The two begin a secret romance, meant to last only as long as the starlet is on location in Bash's hometown. When the paparazzi, obligations, and pride tear them apart, will Bash come to his senses in time, or will Grace marry the wrong man? She's trying to do the right thing by keeping promises that true friends would never ask of you.

This book is a sweet love story but I couldn't quite understand a lifelong friendship really being that shallow.

Thanks to Netgally for letting me read and review!!!

I have never wanted to shake so many characters in one book before. I'm pretty sure that a few of them would have benefited from a good shake or even a slap.
I really enjoyed this story and the plot.
