Sometimes love happens, no matter how hard we try to avoid it....
World-famous movie star David Jacobs is tired.
The fans.
The interviews.
The fame...
Just tired.
He's finished his ten year contract as a galaxy-saving, spandex-wearing superhero and needs to get out of Hollywood.
Clear his head.
Fresh air.
A new phase.
So he moves.
To the small town of Midnight, Maine.
No one can believe their eyes.
His agent thinks he's nuts.
His fans think he's crazy.
And Professor Jane Air, local resident and professional book-nerd, thinks he's overrated. She moved to Midnight to live a quiet life- teaching, writing, reading...
Some big shot Hollywood hero is going to ruin all of that.
But he is gorgeous. And smart. And charming. And very, very sexy.
And when he catches her skinny-dipping on his property? Well, maybe he's not that overrated...
They have nothing in common, but David and Jane have more to teach each other than either one of them realizes.
***This is a sweet and sexy small town romance, full of wacky characters, wild friends, and wit. Contents include: a Happily Ever After, hot sex, random literary references, and lots of seafood.***
My Review 5 STARS
**My thanks to the author and Hidden Gems for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This appears to be the debut novel for this author and it really does not fail to deliver.
In some ways it would appear that the author must have studied literature at some point with the way that she has her characters interpreting classic novels , which also has us learning something, but the writing is really good and has a depth of emotion with the characters so that you cannot help but get taken away with the story and connect to the characters.
Jane Air is a professor at college in a sleepy little place called Midnight in Texas. She has a brilliant girl friend base that support each other and get together weekly. When the inhabitants find out that a famous actor has moved to their town, Jane immediately feels like she would have no chance with the man.
David Jacobs wants to get away from the rat race for a while after a long contract has finally come to an end. It is on his property at a hidden wooded pool that he first meets Jane and he is fascinated with her and finds a way to see her again. He hires her to help him understand the female characters in the classic books.
There is good chemistry between the pair and mainly the issue is with Jane as she struggles with self esteem issues from the past as David certainly does all the chasing, even opening up for Jane quirky friends.
I certainly look forward to book two in order what happens with Jane's friend Penelope and David friend and manager Angelo.
