Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,151
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,383
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 475
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

you might just like this one
I am one that likes romance and challenge so if you like a long romance that frustrates you by the decisions of the two involved you might like this book, although I must say that I did not like the end not that it was a bad ending but that it was frustrating to me the hero seemed week and giving in and the heroine seemed to be unwavering when it was wrong. I didn't like the ending at all, with that said you may not like this book because of that, but over all I really enjoyed this read in three days while gardening with my ipod I finished it so I hope if you are in the mood for a long read that is a little frustrating at the end, enjoy

bad ending
I agree with the other "Heather" who reviewed this book. i was unhappy with the ending, i expected something different. I enjoy the two part longer books as they are more worth the money. i am finding the shorter books are rushed with too much happening and not enough on the love story.

Boring & Predictable
It was difficult to get through the whole thing. Her voice didn't change much with the characters & grated as the children's voices. The ending was ridiculous and frankly I skipped to the end because I couldn't take it anymore!

waste of time and money
I'm pretty easy to please and I decided to give this book a try. I wish I hadn't.
The "heroine" is shrewish, hateful, absolutely devoid of logic. What few good qualities she has are used to undermine an underdeveloped and pathetic hero, who despite having many wonderful qualities suffers greatly from seeming to be stupid and blind. It is completely unreasonable to accept that he would actually fall in love with her and unlikely that a reader would like how emasculated he is.
Also, while the book was a torture by itself, I think it suffers further at the hands of a narrator who is at turns grating and sycophantic, making the characters even harder to like.
I would not recommmend this book to anyone who is interested in nobility or consistency in their characters and I would advise caution with purchase of this author. I know I'm completely turned off myself.

Dull, repetitive and unimaginative
I am very sorry I wasted a credit on this "book." This was more like a sketch - characters were lightly drawn and the entire story consisted of one confrontations scene that the author kept repeating at different times of day and in different places. The male lead character was a lummox - his dialogue consisted mostly of repeating the sentence just stated by the female lead character. The female character was indistguishable from the female lead of dozens of other romances. Ick. Hated it.
