by Lucy Parker
This is the second in the London Celebrities romance series. Luc Savage is a well-regarded stage director about to open his own West End theater with a new historical drama. Lily is a soap opera actress whose looks have her typecast as a sultry scheming sexpot. However, her acting talent goes well beyond her TV role. Luc ends up casting Lily despite his misgivings. Sparks fly between them and they get under each other's skin. However, their positions in the production and in their careers make a relationship risky tabloid fodder.
I very much enjoyed this book. Lily and Luc are great characters - both driven and dedicated to their work, but also capable of giving that same devotion to each other. I really liked the way the story addressed Lily's trouble trusting that Luc would or even could put her above his work and how that tied into her relationships with her parents. Her arc of coming to terms with all of that was done very well.
