Description
A celebrity playboy looking for love...
Carson Wells’ heart closed up shop six years ago when his fiancée ran off with his rock-star best friend. Since then, the dancer-actor has turned his back on serious relationships, seeking no-strings, down-and-dirty sex with a laundry list of hot women. But lately, a growing loneliness tugs at his gut...along with an unrelenting desire for his co-star. When he finally acts on their smoldering mutual attraction, there’s no turning back. He’s hooked.
A sassy screen star putting her heart on the line...
Having spent years guarding her scarred heart, Lara Kincaid is totally out of her depth with the fiery attraction to her playboy leading man. His history with women is a deep well, and her insecurities and secrets run even deeper. Even so, something about the man tugs at her heart and soul. Carson’s sex appeal and charming persuasion have cast a spell on her, but their pasts threaten to unravel that magic. She’s dipped a toe in the water—should she dive right in, she just might drown.

Carson Wells is an actor known for his love 'em and leave 'em routine. Jilted by his fiancee before his big break, his current routine seems to satisfy him for the moment except that he might want something more from a specific woman. Lara Kincaid may seem like an outgoing actress, strong and sassy. But she hides her insecurity and past. This may seemed like a typical contemporary romance where their celebrity life is just a profession but complete with stalkers. While the plot is predictable, it does get boring when the drama of Lara not trusting Carson is repeated so many times. I find it an average read and not unforgettable. Plot: 3/5 Characterisation: 4/5 Prose: 3/5 How much I enjoyed it: 3/5 |

Passion Unscripted, Anya Sharpe Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews Genre: Romance, erotica As readers of my reviews know I have a weakness for film star romance so when i saw this it was "Hurrah". I did enjoy it but...didn't love it as I expected to. The sex scenes are well written and hot, and as its an erotic novel I expected the book to contain plenty of them, but I did feel they made the romance take a little bit of backseat, that they overtook the main story a little. As I said, its in the Erotic genre though so for many readers that's exactly what they want. Carson, what a way to lose the love of your life, dumped by a Dear John( or Carson!) note, she didn't even have the guts to face him. He's kind of blaming all women though for her actions, turned into a love 'em and leave 'em guy. Lets face it, the ladies he picks are exactly relationship material anyway. His friend Grey is concerned as he can see that Carson does respect one lady, seems to have feelings for her that he's pushed down deeply and from his position he can see that Lara also has feelings for Carson - though at that point he's such a manwhore I did wonder why? When they do get together that reputation haunts them, with echoes of his past affecting the present and the future. There are secrets here too, from his ex and from Lara and they have the potential to derail the fledgling relationship. Despite all that I did like Carson, he's not respecting the ladies he sleeps with but they know the score, and he's pleasant and polite to all of them including ones that are just freinds, acquaintances, work colleagues. I felt he was still grieving his breakup really - having told himself he judged her wrong he now doesn't trust any lady or himself to see if they are genuine. He does respect Lara though, initially pushing her towards Grey, til grey tells him no. And after looking at himself and his actions he finally takes the plunge with her, but wants to date her, take things slower. That was sweet as were the gifts, but each time something crops up I was so angry at Lara for immediately thinking the worst, and running. Every Time. She knows how the press work, how rumours are created from nothing, how photos misconstrued and yet every time she rushes off, believes the worst. I so felt for poor Carson and wondered if with so little trust they could make things work. Its not just the romance though and the media issues, but there's a snippet of suspense and danger creeps in towards the last quarter that added to the story and was fun to read. Stars: four, a fun read but I wanted to shake Lara, ask her to have more trust. ARC supplied for review purposes by Netgalley and Publishers |

Carson and Lara both have some baggage that makes them wary of relationship but while working together their chemistry is undeniable and once isn’t enough. Will they be able to let their pasts go and move forward? I liked the story and the chemistry between Carson and Lara is off the charts hot. The story held my interest throughout. An enjoyable read. |
