Fallen Star by Susannah Nix
5.0
Full review and excerpt available on my blog, Laurie Reads Romance.
"Fallen Star" centers on Scott Deacon, a former child star turned grown-up Hollywood bad boy, and Grace Speer, a script supervisor who has sworn to never again date an actor after her last boyfriend left her for his younger co-star. Scott and Grace are thrown together on a location shoot for Scott's latest movie in New Orleans, his attempt at a comeback after several years spent away from the spotlight overcoming a drug addiction. Scott is desperate to prove that he still has what it takes to be a successful Hollywood actor. Grace, meanwhile, has serious reservations about Scott due to his bad reputation and is determined to keep her distance, but her job forces her to work closely with him throughout the shoot. Not only that, Grace and Scott end up living next door to each other in rental housing provided by the production, and eventually form an unlikely friendship while fighting stronger feelings for each other. Will Scott be able to overcome Grace's reservations about dating an actor, especially one with his track record of addiction and fear of commitment? You'll just have to read the book for yourself to find out! :-)
Overall, I highly recommend "Fallen Star." It was absolutely a 5-star read for me. I can't wait to see what Susannah Nix writes next!
