I had trouble connecting with this book. The writing was good, but there was just too much going on for the story to hold my interest: Eric is a billionaire Hollywood heartthrob (!) who's best known for his role as the superhero Water Bear Man (?!) and he meets Sage, a plant psychologist (?!) while he is in disguise with a fake scar that he uses to somehow become unrecognizable (?!). Any one of these elements paired with the author's solid writing would have produced a fun, original book, but all of them together was just way too much.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Highly entertaining, sexy, fun, emotional and action packed romantic journey filled with lots of heat and passion.... loved it!

Sage Revere and Eric Westerly are a sweetly opposite couple that are fun to read about and I was hooked from beginning to end and am looking forward to the next visit.

This was such a thrilling and entertaining read! The story and the characters leave you hanging on to every word and helded you captivated right till the last word. So hard to put this book and series down once you start reading it, you have to definitely finished it, even if it means losing so sleep but so worth it. This is definitely one you will want to read over and over again.

Eric feels like a lost soul right now and doesn't know what to do. Sage sees Eric and knows he needs help but he isn't happy about her offer. Sage and Eric slowly get to know each other but Eric is hiding something big and doesn't know how to tell Sage, will it end them or help them grow stronger.

Sage and Eric such an emotional story. Eric is a man with so many issues that he shall we say carries a lot of baggage. Sage is a bit of a quirky duck, she is a psychologist for plants. She has such a keen sense of reading people and she is very sensitive to their needs . These two unlikely characters may be just what they both need .
A story about finding each other , healing and learning to love.

This is a great book; this is the fourth book in the Westerly Billionaire series written by Ruth Cardello. Sage Revere follows her instincts, which have led to an oddball career as a plant psychologist. As a side project, she also helps strangers find happiness. Sage has a gift for knowing who needs her help, and the brooding hunk of a loner she meets in a coffee shop certainly fits the bill. She can feel it.
On-screen, Eric Westerly is the hottest superhero there is. Offscreen, he’s out of rehab; incognito in London; and reevaluating his life, his career, and his broken family ties. All he wants is to be alone. Then along comes some daft plant whisperer who gets under his skin. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. If you are looking for a great book with humor and mystery, then you need to read this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author.

Number 4 in the "Heir" series. The series features the five Westerly siblings, who were split among their parents after their parents divorced. This book deals with Eric, the actor in the family. Unfortunately, this was my least favorite of the four. I just couldn't like the H/h no matter how much I tried. And Grandmother is kinda wearing on my nerves at this point as well. The supporting characters are good though, most especially Reggie (and we get to meet his family in Hollywood Heir). If you reading the series, you have to read them all.

Eric and Sage ... a wonderful pairing

Not having read the previous books in this series I was unsure of who the Westerly's were. In no way has that affected this story - it definitely can be read as a standalone and be thoroughly enjoyed. Ms Cardello does give little insights into the family make-up, enough to understand what has occurred previously. This one is the story of Eric Westerly and Sage Revere.

I thoroughly enjoyed their story. Eric is an actor recently out of rehab, who has ditched his opulent lifestyle and has commenced living among those less fortunate than himself. His is a broken man, who has very strong trust issues with women, for very understandable reasons. That begins to alter after he meets Sage, a young woman who makes it her mission in life to help people. How does she do this? With plants of course!!! Both have families that they would rather forget, but who seem to come out of the woodwork when least expected.

Once Eric (using his alter ego) and Sage meet and begin to form a friendship, emotions start to run a bit rampant. Sage sees that Eric is hiding some form of pain, but is unable to work out what it is, and Eric is wishing he could tell Sage the truth about himself. An interfering grandmother, an over protective BFF and an employee who is more a friend, all make this a memorable story.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one and will definitely go back and read the others. A recommended read.

Read and Reviewed for Reading Is Our Satisfaction

"Hollywood Heir" (Westerly Billionaire Book 4) by Ruth Cardello is a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed Eric and Sage's story. This is the first book in this series that I've read, and I'm looking forward to going back to read the others. This story has romance, humor, entertaining characters, second chances, close friends, billionaires, and more. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, billionaires, entertaining characters, and series.

I am really loving this new series. The Westerly family is as screwed up as you can get, which means great stories. Eric has a lot of issues in his life, and I like that he was trying to get away from all the fame and just find himself. Sage was hilarious. I loved her quirky personality and her sweet, giving soul. She has her own issues to deal with, but she always seems to want to help others first. I really liked how they met, despite his deception about who he really was. They had great chemistry and were really good for each other. Delinda continues to wreck havoc, but she is warming on me. I continue to hope for the best in regards to her behavior. I look forward to more of the Westerly's.

3.5 stars

Hollywood Heir by Ruth Cardello is good read, kept me interested from start to end, the writing is well done and I enjoyed watching Sage and Eric's relationship unfold.

Overall a very good read, looking forward to reading more from this talented author.

*Thank you to the publisher via Netgalley for the ARC*

I really liked Eric and Sage. This storyline is so great.
I look forward to reading more by this author.
Thanks for the Arc

These types of books are completely up my alley, but I had a hard time getting into this one. I hadn't read any of the books in the series prior to this, so large parts of the story seemed a bit off and confusing. I also had a really hard time relating to and becoming invested with the characters - the only ones I liked were Sage and Bella. I can see someone who has read the prior titles in the series enjoying this, but it's a pass for me.

What a fantastic book this is with brilliant storyline and characters and I will look forward to reading more from you from this author thank you for my arc

Well, this story got me in a way I didn’t expect it to. Sage is just an amazing character, she is a plant psychologist and if that didn’t intrigue me at first her way to see and live life amazed me. Eric is a Hollywood star, he is broken, he isolated himself from his family and found love. Their pain, the angst and everything in between got me deeply. I will definitely read the rest of the series.

Fabulous book. I really enjoyed this book as I have the whole series. Ruthie's style of writing and this book makes me laugh and giggle. Totally recommend.

Eric Westerly is an action-hero super star who is doing a Greta Garbo - hiding out in London after completing rehab. Sage Revere spots him at the local coffee shop and, even though she doesn't recognize him with his fake scar, she senses a kindred spirit. Eric doesn't know what to make of plant psychologist Sage. She reaches people through plants and, if there's one thing she's learned from plants, it's patience. Oh my, she draws on all her patience with Eric, as he attractive but so angry and rude! I loved that Sage offered him an unconditional friendship.

"You know all those people you think you've disappointed? I'm not one of them. Not yet. Consider me a clean-slate friend."

I needed patience and time to warm up to Eric. Cardello does a great job of redeeming him and making him worthy of Sage, even after he does disappoint her. Through his relationship with Sage, Eric comes to terms with his family, past, and fame.

This is the fourth book in the Westerly Billionaire series, but the first that I've read. I enjoyed the book as a stand alone but want to read more about the Westerly family. Sage's best friend, Bella, needs her own book too!

I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I completely loved this book. It left me feeling so good. I loved how odd both Sage and Eric were, they just complemented each other so well
But what is he hiding, and will she understand? The ending is so darn cute and I love how important family was. I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy and I highly recommend this book.

Sage and Eric worked for one another, I think. That said, I found them just a little too quirky to be able to relate to them completely. Maybe this is just me, and honestly, it probably is...but the quirks of the characters in this pulled me out of the story enough that I was not really able to engage with the romance of it.

I have read and enjoyed other titles in this series, and by this author, but this one didn't work for me.

I was excited to read this book by Ruth Cardello. I hadn't read prior books in the series and the story seemed interesting enough. Sadly, I had a hard time getting invested in these characters and their story. The book just fell flat for me. I had a hard time getting through the first few pages and the story didn't really pick up speed afterwards.
