Hollywood Diva, Heather Wainwright, is the Star of this show! This heartfelt, fun and sexy romance was a delight to read. Heather has a reputation for being a Hollywood Diva. She puts up thick walls to hide the secret she is so afraid to face. Seth Rafferty is a sexy, dominant, carpenter/production designer. He also has a past he is keeping secret. When Heather & Seth first meet they have instant attraction and the sparks fly. Then unfortunately Heather misunderstands who Seth really is and puts up her protective diva walls. Seth is both offended and turned on in equal measure by Heathers' attitude. Heather also has her conflicts with the sexy, dominant carpenter. Their chemistry is so feverish, they are helpless to stay away from each other. Their banter was their foreplay leading to some very steamy and fiery passion. They are so alike in many ways, wanting to be loved for who they are, and not for their past or their profession. When secrets come to light, will their love be enough to keep their hearts from breaking or will the lies be just too much? I really liked both Heather & Seth, they were so perfect for each other, making the other a better person. I thought their vulnerability, and flaws were authentic and their growth honest. I loved Heather's assistant, Lexie, she was so loyal and funny and her devotion and support of Heather was brilliant. I really enjoyed this charming, heartfelt and sexy romance!

Another entertaining and provocative must read from Laurelin Paige! Star Struck was enticing and sexually charged, with an enemies-to-lovers romance that was undeniably HOT! It's stories like this one that makes Laurelin's books one-of-a-kind. Not only do you get the "I hate you, but want you anyway" aspect from the story, but there are so many hidden and buried emotions that trigger the actions from both Seth and Heather. As much as both characters try to overcome their past, you realize that it's their said pasts that are controlling everything in their present and future. Their issues run deep, and it's only when they come together they begin to realize that they can have something special, something real. But with Hollywood literally in their back yard, these two need to learn to trust their feelings and each other. Otherwise they'll become another tragic Hollywood romance. Star Struck sizzles with lust, desire, and combustible attraction. The romance and intimacy explodes with passion that will leave you hot and sweaty. The character dynamic was very engaging, pulling you in right from the beginning...emotionally driven with all the feels. And as always, Laurelin's writing was phenomenal and you'll have a really hard time putting down this book.

What do you get when you put a snobby actress from the wrong side of the tracks and a super-hot alpha guy that's good with his hands together? Perfection, if you're reading 'Star Struck' by Laurelin Paige. Heather Wainwright is the Hollywood 'IT' girl of the moment, in much demand, and at the top of her game. She is the actress that all ingenues want to be like, and all the leading men want to date. But Heather's life hasn't always been the dream that it is. She comes from a less-than-spectacular background, and will do most anything to keep this hidden from her adoring public. Seth Rafferty has also worked hard to rise to the top of the heap in Hollywood. Seth, while not proud of his background, refuses to hide who he is and where he comes from, except when it comes to Heather. He wants to teach her a lesson, and have a good time while doing it. I am a huge fan of Laurelin Paige. Her 'Fixed' series has one of my all-time favorite book boyfriends, after all. In 'Star Stuck,' she has given us Seth Rafferty, and let me tell you, he ranks right up there at the top. Not only is he gorgeous and sexy, he's smart and sweet, and can easily keep up with Heather, giving as good as he gets, and making her a better person along the way. And while, at first glance it would be easy to dislike Heather, you really can't, because it becomes clear why she acts the way that she does. Even she doesn't really like the person that she's become, but isn't secure enough in herself to make a change. This book was HOT from the get-go, and I could not put it down. The interchange between Heather and Seth was by turns funny and sweet, and always sexy as all get-out. And Lexie, I just adore Lexie. Heather lucked out for sure when she landed such a smart, loyal, and sassy chick to be her PA. I'd love to see her in her own story (hint, hint, Laurelin!). Five hot and sexy stars!
