So glad the manipulative model part of the story didn't last long. ( )

This is another GFY, slightly angsty, but pretty sweet overall. We have golden boy Kit, former child star trying his hardest to stay in the limelight, and down on his luck Jeremy, who gets his big break. At times I wanted to smack Kit for his attitude, but I guess he had a point near the end, when he said that Jeremy had had his whole life to get used to the idea of who and what he was, while he had had less than a year himself.

I know the focus on this story was the relationship, but I did really want to know more about Kit and Jeremy and their pasts. Kit's career and family, and where Jeremy's parents were, how he ended up with his aunt and uncle, and exactly what sort of abuse he suffered.

4 very solid Stars!

I’ve been living inside Tibby Armstrong’s Hollywood-land lately. I’ve stopped and taken a few breaks, but I haven’t really left. These books are very absorbing. If you like to know your characters inside and out, this series is for you. Personally, I fell for Jeremy and Ash, completely.

THE STORY

In book 2 we meet Kit and Jeremy, two young actors who portray Aaron and Greg (from book 1 – No Apologies) in Greg Falkner’s film.

It’s an interesting, interwoven bit of storytelling that sheds light on previously unanswered questions; at the same time exploring a budding, coming out relationship under the Hollywood spotlight.

THE CHARACTERS

"Aaron's appeal is in how unaware he is of his beauty. How...willing he is to be selfless in everything he does."


It takes a minute to place Kit and Jeremy. You want to understand their place in the story and the film individually, however, as Greg’s doppelganger and total newcomer to Hollywood, Jeremy struggles to know his place too.

Watching Kit play the part of 'Kit' struck Jeremy as surreal. The Kit walking next to him had a resonant laugh deeper and more full-bodied than the blue-label whiskey he seemed so fond of, a toe-curling smile, and the ability to shatter Jeremy's internal universe with one well-placed kiss.


Switching to Kit’s perspective it’s easy to see all the behind-the-scenes politics surrounding stardom. It’s also easy to see how and why he feels so deeply for Jeremy.

THE WRITING

Ms. Armstrong’s writing skills are much improved in this book. This is an author that works to bring her words richness and flavor. As I said above, I’ve been living inside this world and it’s because of the writing and the character development. I love watching an author just get, even better.

Lifting his head, he took in the sublime wreckage of Jeremy's expression and grinned. Yeah, he'd done it right.


The struggles are unique, the solutions realistic and the love scenes are beautiful and sexy. I think any m/m romance reader will find this a rich and fulfilling addition to the Hollywood series.

HFN ending.

I would like to thank Tibby Armstrong for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
