About this listen
Simon: One perfect night with Hollywood superstar Luke Watson. It’s a dream most people would give anything to make real. For me, it’s a reality I’d give anything to make just a dream.
Six years ago, he was just the gorgeous stranger across the room. That elusive one-night stand who can electrify you with a touch; whose kisses are all you can taste for days afterward.
Until I tried the phone number he’d left and got dead air. Then he was just that jerk who’d played me. And himself. Because I never could shake that feeling that we could’ve had something real.
A few months later, my mystery man’s face was on every billboard, his name on every lip. Impossible to get away from, even as I knew I’d never be alone with him again.
Yet here we are. The connection is as real and instant as ever. His assurance that the wrong number was an accident is everything I’d ever wanted to hear.
But after years of thinking I was the wronged party, turns out I’m the villain of my own fairy-tale romance. I only got in to see him with stolen press credentials. And I’m only there to nab some scoop for my sister, a notorious Hollywood blogger in the business of outing closeted actors. I’m everything Luke hates.
Most people never get a first chance with the man of their dreams. Now I’ve got a second. Too bad I have no idea how to keep it from turning into a nightmare....
Luke: For years, I chased my own rags-to-riches story, convinced fame and fortune would make me happy. And then I got it, only to find I’d spent all that time chasing the wrong story.
Once upon a time, a man met his Prince Charming, and their one epic night together was perfect and wonderful and real. That’s the dream come true the universe gift-wrapped and delivered to me. The happy ending for which I should have fought. But I couldn’t see what was right in front of me, and I let it all slip away.
Now, I’m doing it again. Fate gave me a second chance, and I’m worrying about my fake romance with an actress I barely even know. Putting the closet and my career over the chance to just hold his hand in public.
I didn’t listen to my heart then and spent six years regretting it. If I make the same mistake again, I know I’ll regret it for a lot longer than that....
This Hollywood scorcher comes with that HEA a true storybook romance deserves. There’s nothing G-rated about these sex scenes though, so 18 and up only!

Jason Thorn...my brother's childhood friend. Oh, how stupidly in love with that boy I was. He was the first boy who made me blush, my first official crush. Sounds beautiful so far, right?

But you get to live in that fairy tale world only until they crush your hopes and dreams and then stomp on your heart for good measure. And boy did he crush my little heart into pieces.

Story
We met in the least likely of places. It started out innocently enough. I was “ScreenGod”, and she was “Montana”, but of course those weren’t our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind. Logging in at night and talking to her was my escape - my sanctuary. Her real name was Eden, I’d soon come to find out. From the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed. She was an addiction. At first, we knew nothing about each other’s real identities...and she was adamant that we keep things that way.

The only problem? Turns out the stranger's brother is marrying my sister later this week.

It should have been easy. I needed the money. He needed a babysitter to keep him from snorting himself to death. I was cherry-picked especially for him. Responsible. Optimistic. Warm. Innocent. The worst part is that I should have known better. Alex Winslow. British rock star. Serial heartbreaker. Casanova with whiskey eyes. “Don’t get near the devil in a leather jacket. He’ll chew you up and spit you out.” Guess what? I didn’t listen. I signed the contract. World tour. Three months. Four Continents. 100 shows. My name is Indigo Bellamy, and I sold my soul to a tattooed god.

I think in triangles. You think in straight lines. I show you a table and make you believe it's a chair. Smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand, misdirection. I trick and deceive. But most of all, I put on a good show. The world thinks I killed a man, but I didn't. Bear with me. It's all a part of the plan. Revenge is what I want. I want it for me, and I want it for her. I want it for all six of us.

I loved Simon and Luke, both characters were so charismatic. This is a great story about love, friendship, and understanding. A lie by omission is still a lie, but can you see past the betrayal to the truth that lies underneath. The narration was very well done.

Luke has thought of nothing else in the six years since he had Simon all to himself. He is saddened by the fact Simon never called him. Living a life in the public eye, he feels lonely and that he can never trust anyone completely.
This story was very gripping. A tale of two souls who should have been together and lost so much time. I was seriously caught right away and had to know the end. Lucky for me, the story was no too long to listen to and was a real challenge for each character.
The narration was done well and the obvious inflections helped to know the person changes. The tonal quality overall was good and it ended well for me.

Not to say that I didn't understand why he kept the truth hidden. I did. I don't justify it, but I understand why he was so reluctant to risk his chance for an opportunity with Luke.
And Luke? Yes, I got him, too. I see how you can get so lost in what you thought you wanted that you can't see that... it changed.
Because that's the thing in this story: there are not villains, There are only people doing what they believe they are meant to do, as best as they can.
So, yes, I truly enjoyed this story =D
