Okay, this story was SO scrumptious and swoony, and I gobbled it right up! If you’re looking for a steamy Celebrity Romance book, I highly recommend this one.

What I loved:
•Super fast-paced plot
•Celebrity romance dynamic (lots of Pretty Woman vibes)
•Instant chemistry and fun banter
•Amazing and supportive best friend
•Investigative journalism plot
•Steamy smut

This book is the definition of a cute girl trying to be sexy. The author tried way too hard with this book and I don't even know what the author was trying to achieve. All I can say is that I am happy to be done with this book.

Really enjoyed this one! No alphahole in sight, and the two main leads were credible and sweet in their mutual pining and love for each other. Their problems were mostly external, which is such a change from the usual romance books where miscommunication is so overused. Such a quick, enjoyable read!

A quick, very steamy read! The writing is what got me right off the bat. It’s so well done and I don’t find Gigi annoying with her insecurities, but rather relatable.  And I love not knowing the reality of Alec’s present life right off the bat and letting the genuine connection just be the foundation. I burned through this one! 
The 3rd act break up broke my heart and I really didn’t see how we’d get through it, but I loved that it was wrapped up as only the beginning.

The ending was entirely too cute. Epilogue and everything. I truly enjoyed this as my first audiobook.
