BLURB:
When the lines between pretense and reality blur, can the actor and the boyfriend-for-hire discover something real?
Ryan Levesque is Hollywood’s newest blue eyed boy. Moving from soap operas to the big screen has paid off for the kid from Minnesota, and he’s hot property. But, when a video from the lowest point of his past is shared on social media everything begins to unravel and old hurts resurface. His agent suggests a way out of the mess, and he jumps at the chance to make things right by pretending he’s in a committed, loving relationship with the tall, dark, sexy boyfriend for hire, Kaden. Only, he never counted on the impact Kaden would have on his life, or his career.
When Kaden Moore’s next assignment lands in his lap, he’s expecting nothing more than a self-centered celebrity who’s messed up. Kaden’s new role is that of Hollywood A-lister Ryan Levesque’s boyfriend, a PR stunt concocted by his agents to restore the actor’s dented popularity. Kaden is aware of the video that surfaced from Ryan’s past, and though it raises questions about what kind of man Ryan is, it’s not any of Kaden’s business. Kaden has been pretending his entire life, and knows he can show the troublesome actor a thing or two about the world beyond the Hollywood bubble. But maybe Kaden isn’t as clued up as he thinks, especially when it comes to the heart and love.
REVIEW:
Ryan Levesque isn’t who the world thinks he is. As an actor, his whole life is open to scrutiny but things aren’t always what they seem. The reality is that Ryan is shy and sweet and a little lost in the entertainment world and his past is starting to come back to haunt him.
Kaden Moore is one of those people who thought that they knew who Ryan is, but it doesn’t take long for him to see that there’s a lot more to Ryan than the tabloids have made him out to be.
Both men are adorable and their chemistry is hard to deny. I enjoyed Ryan’s relationship with his sister because I know what it’s like to be protective of a little brother.
The story was a little predictable, but that’s okay. I could see how it was going to end but I enjoyed the journey we had to take to get there.
One of the best things was how helping Ryan figure out how to leave his past behind helps Kaden work through some issues of his own.
There’s nothing spectacular about this book, but there’s some really good moments. The steam certainly builds in the guys relationship and the author’s definitely know’s how to pen a good sex scene.
The angst for this story comes in the form of an ex who’s very stereotypical. I was very glad to see that he didn’t get away with the shit he’d been pulling. I really did want to punch him in the face.
Not having read the first book in this series, I will be keeping my eyes open for it. I very much enjoyed these authors writing style and could really go for more of it. Not too long with a proper happy ending, it would be an excellent rainy afternoon read.
