Natalie Connor is doing one of her favorite things, sitting on the beach taking pictures in the quiet of a morning sunset. Her peace is shattered when a furious man confronts her on the beach wanting her camera, well if she is going to be mugged she couldn't picture a more mouth watering mugger.

Former actor Luke Williams has spent the last five years dodging photo ops, he walked away after an incident rattled him to the core. Even know the stunning beauty has captured his interest he wants the pictures deleted, but when he realizes he made a mistake and she has no clue who he is, he wants to get to know her better.

The first in the With Me in Seattle series. So, I read the third one first and there are a few parallels in the male characters that I noticed right off. I liked this one a lot, it was more romantic in the sense that Luke wants to cherish Natalie. He does have a streak that is a bit jealousy/untrust but with Natalie he learns to curb his nerves on that matter. Natalie is a more react first type of gal which causes for a couple of wicked fights. I thought this was great, my guess is the series gets better as it progresses.

Chase and Seduction by Randi Alexander

Chase & Seduction by Randi Alexander

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Over the last four months Reno Linden has developed a close friendship with country star turned actor Chase Tanner. Reno is the complete opposite of Chase, she is intelligent, shy, and treats him like he is just another person. Chase has wanted to see what would develop and he finally has a chance, which ends up short lived. Reno doesn't feel she is what Chase needs, he is flashy, sexy, and could have any woman on the planet but for some reason Chase wants her.

This is actually a reread for me, I never wrote a review. What Reno and Chase both fail to realize is that they both are putting their insecurities first and allowing it to tear them apart. I think Reno understands more quickly than Chase who manages to make a muck of things but overall it works itself out. A little rushed towards the end with a big happy bow but otherwise an enjoyable story.

Joy doesn't know what came over her when it came to the irresistible pull she felt towards a model she was painting a body tattoo on. What transpires is an erotic moment with the potential for something more, but a misinterpreted meeting ends up with both frustrated and feeling empty, they are left with only the memory of the intimate moment they shared.

Months later Hollywood star Everett Hughes walks into a coffee shop and sees Joy. He wants answers and his dominant personalty intends to get them. Joy had no clue the man she shared that moment with was Everett, now that both have a second chance she begrudgingly agrees to a date. Joy's insecurities about her life have her wondering what he will do when he finds out about her life, not wanting to explore the pain of losing him she knows she will have to let him go. Everett, however, has no intentions of leaving Joy and comes up with an erotic and intense plan to break down her carefully guarded walls.

I could kick myself for not picking this up sooner, what a wonderful story. I was completely enthralled with both Everett and Joy. You want Joy to open up to Everett and she does, even though at times she is scared about the emotions he manages to draw out of her. Everett is intense, dynamic, and easily one of my favorite characters. Would reread this again in a heartbeat, excellent read.

When her character gets paired with the shows favorite idol and son to an academy award winning actor, Kayla is thrilled with the idea of learning from the talented man.

New To Me Author: Deadly Obsession by Kristine Cayne

Deadly Obsession by Kristine Cayne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Nic Lamoureaux, aka The Lover and Hollywood's hottest actor, he has worked hard for the reputation he has and to stay on top of the industry. When he meets Lauren James at a photo shoot, he is entranced by the widower and single mother. Nic would love nothing more than to see if a relationship is possible, but Nic has a stalker who continues to get more dangerous with each message he receives.

I liked the premise, but some of the story moved so fast it was hard to grasp what had happened. I liked Lauren and Nic a lot, felt for Nic because he is so much more than his actor persona and is afraid to let Lauren see it. I give this a 3.98 rating, I am definitely interested in reading more from this author.

Love Unscripted by Tina Reber

Love Unscripted by Tina Reber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Taryn Mitchell has no plans to put her heart on the line for another man again, the last man she let in crushed her deeply and she will do anything to prevent that from happening again. When actor Ryan Christensen finds himself looking for a place to hide in Taryn's bar, she sees a man who looks like he needs a friend more than an actor looking for attention. A friendship of sorts develops quickly, but Ryan's hesitancy to move it forward has Taryn caught off guard.

Ryan knows that he has met the woman he could spend the rest of his life with, but with him comes life in the spotlight and he is not sure if Taryn would be willing to go along for that ride. As they grow closer and their friendship turns to love, they find themselves struggling to maintain a normalcy in their relationship especially when outside influences are determined to tear them apart.

This reminded me of going on a leisurely hike, the story takes you on a slow stroll into the lives of Taryn and Ryan. The pacing is perfect and really gives you time to see these characters develop into something special. Ryan is a romantic and gentleman which I thought was interesting because it is something Taryn struggles with a bit in the beginning. Well worth reading, especially if you like Hollywood type stories.
