Hollywood+Dirt+cover

Cole Masten. Abandoned by his superstar wife, Hollywood’s Perfect Husband is now Hollywood’s Sexiest Bachelor: partying hard and screwing even harder. Move over Colin Farrell, there’s a new bad boy ruling Los Angeles.

Summer Jenkins. That’s me, a small town girl stuck in Quincy, Georgia. I cook some mean chicken and dumplins, can bluff a grown man out of his savings in poker, and was voted Most Friendly my senior year. Other than that… I don’t have too much going on.

We were from different worlds. Our lives shouldn’t have collided. But when Cole Masten’s jet landed in our country airport, we all sat up in our rocking chairs and watched. And when an opportunity crossed my path, I jumped at the chance. But I didn’t expect what ended up happening. I didn’t expect Cole Masten to be an ass, or to pursue me, or for everything to get tangled up around set riggings, camera cords, bra straps and heartstrings.

Sometimes, opposites just aren’t meant to attract.

~ My Thoughts ~

It was the title, cover and author’s name that sold me on this book. 

Within the pages of this book are words that create a story that is flirty, fun, sassy, sweet and loving.  The characters are so wonderfully structured.  Each holding a quality that makes them shine.  From the smallest of parts to the leading roles each word spoken, each action weaves a full and complete story that enchants and delights.

Hollywood Dirt shares the story of two of the biggest stars in Hollywood.  How they live, how they love, how they lie and how the fall. It is also the story of a beautiful town, whose residents are loyal, rich in tradition and never cross the fine line between those who have and those who don’t.  It’s the story of a girl who has dreams, hopes, desires and fears. It is the story of her past, and her desire to reclaim and own her future.  It is a story about finding out who you are and what you want.  It is a story of self revelations.  A story of letting the past stay where it belongs.  A story of discovering yourself and the joy it brings.  A story that showcases the thought process of others while striving to gain a feeling of love, self-worth and happiness in every sense of the word.

I could not help but get swept away in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and the comfort and ease of small town living.  I found myself creating such a strong bond with the lead characters.  Every character in this story played an important role.  It was impossible not to become attached to them all.  Each provided an important element to the storyline and the growth of the leading characters.  I adored the feisty and fresh approach to the relationships between the characters.  The underlying emotions that bled onto the pages holding me captive.  The buildup of desire.  The intensity of the fight.  The confusion in the thoughts that kept haunting the characters.

I enjoyed every word of this book.  The pacing of the story was perfect.  The storyline was refreshing and entertaining. The characters were perfect.  The vibrant descriptions of the cities and towns were wonderful.  If you are looking for a feel good, character and emotion filled, sexy and sassy story I highly recommend Hollywood Dirt.
