SUMMARY
Happy Endings are for fairy tales. Or the
movies. Not for real life. At least, not in Claire’s life. Even though she’s
starting over, she knows better than to want too much this time. But when she
falls, literally, into the strong arms of Hollywood’s ‘it’ boy Josh Wiley,
Claire’s in for some surprises. Her plans for rest and relaxation are forgotten
as one incredible night with Josh becomes two… And her heart begins to want him
as much as her body. Will two kids, one bastard ex-husband, and Josh’s juggernaut
career mean the end of their affair? Or can Claire find her happy ending after
all?
REVIEW
Set in the world of film stars, movie premieres, book
deals and the ever lurking press, this romance takes the reader on an exciting
trip to Los Angeles, Britain and Texas. What starts as a holiday and exciting
movie premiere seems likely to end in a flight from an abusive and highly
unstable husband.
The characters in this book, especially that of the
main character, Clare, are skillfully crafted and well fleshed out. Clare's
children are particularly realistic and thoroughly adorable. Her abusive ex-husband,
on the other hand, is portrayed as the ultimate mentally unstable control
freak.
Josh Wiley, the hero of the story, is everything one
wants in a romantic hero. Fortunately the author endowed her characters with
enough negative attributes so as to make them believable and ever so slightly flawed.
Although this book is almost purely a romance with
little in the way of action and suspense, things do pick up speed towards the
end thus providing a few chapters of truly edge-of-your-chair reading. The
romance in this book is sensitively written with numerous tender love scenes.
For a heartwarming romance full of beautiful family
moments, glamorous Hollywood parties, romantic interludes and an exciting, nail-biting
end, I highly recommend Hollywood Ever After.
