About this listen
One doctor. One movie star. One house. What could go wrong?
When Dr. Gwen Wright agrees to house-sit for her mother in Los Angeles, she has no idea that her surgically precise world is about to get a major plot twist.
Caleb Lawson—world-famous movie star on the run from the paparazzi and his secrets—crash lands in her kitchen. Besides being a Hollywood heartthrob, Caleb is also her new stepdad's nephew. He thinks he has as much right to stay in the house as she does, but as far as Gwen's concerned, she's the landlord, and he's the squatter.
Forced to share the small space, Gwen is drawn to the moody celebrity. But falling for a star is a risky business. Especially when there's an army of paparazzi on his tail…
Holiday Star is a swoon-inducing celebrity romance novel with the perfect blend of angst and tension. Listen if you like enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, tons of chemistry, a touch of groveling, and happily ever after. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Lucy Score, and Tessa Bailey.

Story
In truth, it probably didn’t help that I showed up dressed like an elf but that’s a story for another time. Our start was rocky at best which is why it’s so frustrating that I can’t stop thinking about his sexy British accent. Or the way his chest and arms fill out his suit. Or his perfect hair with that single streak of grey at the front.

Story
I thought I was over him. That his good looks and British accent couldn’t affect me anymore. But the minute our eyes lock across the elevator, all those feelings come roaring back to life. Then I find out we’re competing for the same job. Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense. The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa.

This audiobook & story was such a treat to listen to! I already loved this book but the narration brought it to life in the best possible way!
Gwen is a ER resident Doctor who has spent the last 10 years focusing on her education and career goals. After losing her dad and her mom remarrying she is left feeling like she missed out on so many things while being too focused on her future.
Caleb, the nephew of Gwen’s new stepdad, is the world’s favorite actor. Starting as a childhood actor at 2 years old, he doesn’t know a life outside of stardom.
When Gwen is asked to house-sit for her mom she gets the shock of her life to find Caleb raiding the kitchen in the middle of the night. It turns out Caleb is in hiding from everyone and convinces Gwen to keep him staying there a secret. Slowly they build an unlikely friendship that evolves into something so much more.
Wow, I went into this booking thinking it was just going to be another holiday romcom, which I love, but this book was so much more! At the root of this book we have two people struggling with self doubt and the feeling of never being good enough. Gwen & Caleb have spent their lives trying to smash themselves into the tiny boxes of other people’s expectations. Gwen always has to be the sensible and responsible daughter. Caleb has to be the world’s golden boy actor. They try so hard to be who the world or their family needs them to be. At some point, they forgot that they can be ANYTHING they want to be.
🩶It was so refreshing to have a MMC that was so open and vulnerable about what he was going through. There is a great amount of groveling in this book and I loved it! Caleb’s fancy date was perfect. I loved how together they were able to open themselves up to all the different things they could do with their lives.
🧩Couples who puzzle together, stay together! Honestly how could they not stay together after a meet cute that involves a wrench! 🤣🔧
🔥There was a fair about of spice in this book! Spice rating: 2 🌶️

✨Thoughts✨
I must admit, this book took me by surprise in the most delightful way. What began as a lighthearted story quickly evolved into a gripping narrative that had me hooked!
🎧I was fortunate enough to experience the audiobook version, narrated by Lidia Dornet. Her solo performance was simply outstanding. Lidia effortlessly transitioned between characters, infusing each one with a unique voice and personality. Her rendition of male characters was exceptionally spot-on. She maintained an impeccable pace throughout and skillfully conveyed all the emotions the author intended for the reader/listener to feel. In all honesty, I could not have chosen a better narrator myself!
♥︎ Though I absolutely adored the narrator, it was the incredible story that truly stood out. Melissa Dymond has rapidly become one of my favorite indie authors. The magnetic connection between Gwen and Caleb was undeniable, and their personal growth unfolded precisely as I had hoped. Through their backstories, I found myself not only comprehending them but also connecting with them on a profound level.
♥︎ This story enveloped me in its swoon-worthy romance, its wonderful main characters, and a thoughtfully explored plot that left me with a happy feeling throughout the audiobook experience.
♡︎ In conclusion, if you love holiday romances with a touch of angst, then this audiobook is an absolute must-listen for you!
