About this listen
New York is where dreams come true. Or at least that's what I've been told.
Despite my love of planning, my dream of working on Broadway and meeting my Hollywood superstar crush seem to be running into more brick walls than necessary. Still, I could never have anticipated my crush on Hunter Stone was just one Ambien trip from an unexpected reality.
Now, I find myself lost in his charms and in love with his passion for acting. Beyond his good looks and brooding reputation is a man who sends my heart racing and leaves me wondering if fictional boyfriends are real.
***
Passion and drive have made all of my acting dreams a reality. All I've worked for is at my fingertips, but I can't seem to settle. In my life or on my future.
Meeting Celeste Pumper…Pumper-Something was never part of my plan. Her own passion for the stage has reminded me of a life beyond the big screen and celebrity. Holding her in my arms and staring into her eyes should frighten me but instead I feel more solace than my lifestyle normally allows.
Our paths didn't cross by happenstance. It was always meant to be. Sometimes truth is better than fiction and our story is better than the book.

Story
Hockey player Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart, and succeed in the NHL. But on the first day he's called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides. First by the team's coach, who has a long simmering grudge, and then by the Bruisers' sexy, icy publicist - his former girlfriend Georgia Worthington. Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do - and saying hello again isn't much easier.

It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old". Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.

Never trust a man who gets paid to take off his clothes for a living, and then uses it as a pickup line to get girls in bed with him. That should’ve been enough for me to call in sick that day. I’ve worked with male cover models like him before, and they’re all the same - smooth-talking, sexy as sin, egotistical know-it-alls who think they’re God’s gift to women - all traits I know to steer clear of.

Despite the odds against them from an embarrassing meet-awkward at a mutual friend's Halloween party, Carter and Evie immediately hit it off. Even the realization that they're both high-powered agents at competing firms in Hollywood isn't enough to squash the fire. But when their two agencies merge - causing the pair to vie for the same position - all bets are off. What could have been a beautiful blossoming romance turns into an all-out war of sabotage.

An inspiring romance from my fav duo
Another great romance in this series. These two authors writing together is pure gold. In Better Than The Book Celeste is a huge Hunter Stone fan. She has been trying to go to the convention every year to meet him and every time something happens. Finally she makes it, with plenty of things still trying to get in her way. Hunter and her meet and it's totally what convention fans fantasize about. Soon they learn they have the love of theater in common. Cut to them spending real time together. This romance was so much fun to listen to. These narrators really made me think they were Celeste and Hunter! This is a romance about living up to who you are and not who people want you to be. It's a story to follow your heart. And sometimes you need a partner to push you along the way. Again, another great book by my favorite writing duo!
