5*****

Blurb: Sometimes you just need coffee. I’ve got my hands full with my kindergarten class in suburban Atlanta. But when my school turns into a film location for a movie, I’m thrilled to get a break so I can watch Hollywood heartthrob Ridge Wilson in action. The next thing I know, I’ve accidentally spilled coffee all over his expensive shirt. Instead of being mad and acting like an entitled celebrity, Ridge asks me to hang out with him in his private trailer. It’s only fitting I reciprocate and offer him a home-cooked meal at my house, right? I hardly notice his famous chiseled features and rock-hard biceps when it’s just the two of us. We definitely have chemistry, and when his film wraps, I’m stunned when he invites me to visit him in California during my fall break. While I’m there, my entire world is upended when he confesses a secret that could turn Hollywood into a paparazzi-feeding frenzy. Ridge doesn’t expect me to get mixed up in all his drama. And I don’t want to keep teetering on whatever fine line this is we’ve created between us. But America’s most famous eligible bachelor needs me – and I need him…

THOUGHTS: I absolutely love Kelly Fletcher’s books. And this one is no exception. From the first meet between Beverly and Ridge in the elementary school library, even the Fates knew these two belonged together. Okay, so it was just a little hokey when she spilled her coffee on his shirt and the stain ended up in the shape of a heart But it was also kismet. Beverly and Ridge have issues – especially Ridge. Not just because of his job, but secrets in his past. But they face their troubles with courage and aplomb, including small-town Beverly being thrown into the spotlights that come with dating a handsome star. But, as in all of the author’s romances, there’s a happily ever after ending that satisfies.

If you’re looking for a sweet romance that makes you smile and go “awww”, pick this one up, and the other books by this author. You won’t be sorry.
