I will say upfront that I have not read all the previous books in this series, only some so far. But this does not at all take away from my enjoyment of The Fifteenth Minute, as it can be read as a standalone.

Hockey hotties? Let me at them. Well, Daniel aka DJ isn't a hockey player, but he is surrounded by them, so I included him in the hockey hotties category.

Lianne wants what we all want - to be accepted. To be loved. But this is hard to come by when you are famous. When everyone knows who you are, what you do. When everyone makes fun of your career.

I adored Lianne from the first page. I just wanted to sit and have a coffee, give her a hug, just hang out with

Dan "DJ" is the first person in a long time that she trusts, that she likes. Heck, that likes her for who she is, not what she does. And he believes in her.

There is a push/pull between Lianne and DJ, and I just wanted them to get things sorted, get themselves together. As we learn more about why DJ is pulling away, I just wanted to scream at my kindle. Things that can be so life altering, so scary to go through. My heart broke for him throughout the whole.

This is a beautiful, romantic book about wanting the best for others, all the while learning that you should want, no, that you deserve the best for yourself.

I couldn't help but love Lianne and DJ, through their highs and their lows - and I really think that I need to know more about them in the future.

Ms Bowen has a way with words that drew me into the story from the first word to the last. I didn't want to put it down once I had started, and it has made me want to go back and read the books I have missed so far.
