A twist of fate proves wildly explosive in New York Times bestselling author CD Reiss’s smart and sexy Hollywood romance about the cost of running from your past to get to your dreams.
Cutting all ties, Kayla Montgomery drives cross-country to Los Angeles. New start. New life. And an unexpected new job: assistant to Justin Beckett.
The Justin Beckett.
The boy band rebel with the cocky attitude and dreamy bed head who casts a spell over his fans and tests the patience of his handlers.
Now at the peak of Mount Adulthood, he has to build a clean-cut, movie star image. It’s in his contract. No partying. No attitude. No groupies.
To tie it together, he needs a normal girl.
Suddenly, Kayla’s swept up in Justin’s glamorous world, and his arms. But the most dizzying thing is Justin himself. Sweet, generous, reliable, and as eager to shed his past as Kayla is hers.
About that…
Those ties she thought she’d cut? They’ve followed her across the country with her secrets in tow, and they’re about to test Kayla’s courage, Justin’s loyalty, and a love that wasn’t part of the deal.

Kayla and Justin have a chance meeting and their lives are changed forever.  This is an enchanting story about Justin, a mega celebrity who meets Kayla, an ordinary person with dreams of becoming a fashion designer.

 

Justin reminded me of Justin Beaber in many ways. He is rich, famous and entitled. He is used to everyone catering to his every need, until he meets Kayla.  She isn’t impressed with Justine’s celebrity and she doesn’t let him get away with his behavior. Kayla is a spitfire and I admired her in every way.

 

It is entertaining watching Justin and Kayla fall in love. Their story is fun and engaging and wanted them to work through all their issues and end up together. I also enjoyed Justin’s grandmother, she adds many laughs to this story.
