BLURB:
Six years after a panic attack on stage ended Nero Lombardi’s Broadway career, a comeback is in the wings. Everything’s coming up roses—and second chances—when he’s cast as Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls, the very role from that fateful night, but when a hotshot Hollywood star blows into town and steals his role, Nero wonders if he’ll ever have that encore he craves.
After a desperately needed stint in rehab, Fallon Jacoby is determined to seize the day and regain his Hollywood status. Instead of giving up his shot when no one in Tinsel Town wants to hire him, Fallon heads for summer stock in Maine, where he finds the man who might just be his love match. Problem is, Fallon took his job and he’s going to have to a lot of hard work ahead of him to prove to Nero he’s more than the messy bad boy the gossips say he is.
When the machinations of a bitter man put a bullseye on Nero, Fallon steps in to save his co-star. Forming a tentative friendship that ignites into simmering passion, both men are sure they’ve found their forever loves. But when Hollywood comes calling, will they stay together and discover that love is the best way of defying gravity? Or is it curtains for their budding romance?
REVIEW:
I’ve been looking forward to Nero’s story. As the parent of an actor, I can totally see the issues my child has dealt with.
It’s taken a long time for Nero to find himself again. When you fall from grace as hard as he did, you end up with more than just a few bumps and bruises. But with the support of his family, he’s finally starting to remember who he was.
Speaking of falling, Fallon’s tumble almost cost him everything, but it might also have saved his life. Now he has to figure out how to restart his career without restarting all the bad habits it brought him.
I love going back to visit the Lombardi’s. It’s like a visit with old friends. Mama Lombardi is the kind of mama I aspired to be.
As always this author does a great job with the sweet story. We have a villian that we love to hate and characters we love to love! I’d love to go and visit this little town that seems to be populated with some pretty awesome citizens.
There’s very little angst in this story, despite what the blurb says but sometimes thats okay. I don’t always need to be on the edge of my seat when I’m reading. Once in a while I pick up a book and know it’s going to make me smile a lot because that’s what I really need to get me through my day.
Pandora does family well. As someone with a rather large family myself, I totally recongnize the trials and tribulations that the Lombardi’s go through. It’s not always easy but mostly it’s worth it.
This book is very enjoyable and an easy read. With the winter weather, it’s good to have a lot of books to keep me busy and Pandora Pine is an author I will pick up every time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
