I nominate Ava Wilder as the Queen of Celebrity Romance. While writing about characters in the spotlight, she makes them messy and relatable in a way that always absorbs me right into the story. She can also write some TENSION. Whew. The past and present timelines were done well to tell the whole story of Shane and Lilah's relationship and have me rooting for them from their first audition. The side characters were fun and added to the story in a way that kept the focus on Shane & Lilah but allowed for some 'outside perspective' on on their relationship and some breaks from all the relationship drama. I would honestly read a spin-off about any one of the side characters. Absolutely love Ava's writing and this story about two stubborn but obviously-in-love actors.

Read if you:
- love celebrity romance
- like some FIRE tension
- love a redhead MC (duh)
- are a fan of second chance romance
