Hollywood Heartbreaker is a fun, lighthearted story set in Hollywood and I immediately liked the two main characters, Rhett and Cassie. They are both easy to relate to and have a lot of chemistry.

 

Rhett and Cassie meet under crazy circumstances and neither of their lives is ever the same. Their chance encounter leads to love but before they can be together, they have to get through a few obstacles thrown their way.

 

Rhett is a major Hollywood action star, but he has stayed down to earth and is a nice guy.  Cassie is struggling to make it in Hollywood and she barely has enough money to pay her rent each month. When Rhett decides to hire Cassie as his assistant; he never expects that decision to change his life.

 

Cassie is open and honest and completely different from all the other women in Hollywood. Cassie dazzles Rhett. She is everything he didn’t know he needed. All the women Rhett has dated in the past have only used him because he is a major star and has money. Cassie doesn’t care about his money or fame. This is an engaging story and also Rhett and Cassie have some entertaining friends.
