(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

Evie Parker has never been one to swoon after celebrities - give her a neuroscientist over an actor any day! So when she develops her first movie-star crush, she's determined to date her way out of it, starting with the next good-looking doctor she sees. Yet hovering on the fringes of her life is her gay best friend's determined brother, Jackson J Stevens, a famous actor who comes with trailing paparazzi. The one thing worse than a celebrity in Evie's eyes is a media circus, so Jack isn't an option no matter how hard he flirts with her. Evie knows what she doesn't want; Jack knows what he does. And somewhere in the middle, pheromones are making things go haywire every time they're together.

An incident in Evie's past makes her distrust the media - so when a celebrity actor tries to win her heart, along with the media circus, Evie makes it perfectly clear that she isn't interested. Jack is. And so it goes...

While the story was fun and hilarious, I just could not like Evie any less. She was just the epitome of rude and abrasive. Sure there are issues in her past but I don't think that allows her the attitude she carried for most of the book. By the end, she has come around and is somewhat likeable, I found myself ready to give up on her a number of times. If it wasn't for the humor, this would have been a DNF pretty early on.
