About this ebook

Charlie Rockwell’s divorce from her rock star ex left her with a broken heart, a mansion on the bluffs in her hometown of Blue Moon Bay, and an empty bank account. Now, Charlie has to generate enough income to keep the house she loves.

When producers of the soap opera, Just One Love, offer to rent Charlie’s house for a sizable fee, Charlie’s tempted. Only she wants nothing to do with the spotlight or dating someone famous again, and the show’s sexy star, Luke Montgomery, has her in his sights. Reluctantly, Charlie agrees to rent her home and vows to stay out of Luke’s way.

Unexpectedly, as filming progresses, Charlie witnesses Luke’s sweet side. She also remembers her college theater days and love of acting. During an on-set emergency, she’s asked to stand-in during a scene, and her undeniable chemistry with Luke impresses the producers enough that they want Charlie full-time.

Can Charlie finally have the career she’s dreamed about? And will Luke break her heart, or will he be everything he seems and what she always wanted?

When Charlie divorced her cheating rock-star husband, all she got in the settlement was a beautiful mansion overlooking Blue Moon Bay. Now, she's cash poor. To make enough money to keep the house, she agrees to let a soap opera film there. A bit part balloons into a role opposite leading man Luke, restarting the acting career she put on hold. When new opportunities arise, will they jeopardize her budding romance with Luke? This sweet, funny romance is a great beach read. Charlie and Luke make a cute couple. Both are likable and kind. At the beginning of the story, Charlie could use a life coach to help her make better choices. She gave up her career for her husband, then agreed to an unfair settlement to get out of the marriage quickly. She ends up on a similar trajectory with Luke. Fortunately, he's a good guy who doesn't want to take advantage of her. It's nice to see how she grows through this romantic relationship. Thanks, Booksprout, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
