ONE NIGHT (Superstars in Love #2) is out NOW!
Approximately 90 pages
Blurb:
British theater star, Justin Holloway, is about to open in his first Broadway show. He should be stoked. But opening night jitters have gotten the best of him; and if one more person tells him to “break a leg,” he just might break theirs instead.
When he pushes out of the theater and accidentally knocks a woman into the street, he does the first thing that comes to mind—pretends he isn’t the show’s lead and tries to charm her into drinks and dinner.
Alexis Verdon is not a fan of musicals. Who really goes around singing grocery lists to the store clerk? Too bad she’s promised her bed-ridden sister she would not only attend the opening night of Broadway’s latest jewel, but also get autographs from the entire cast.
As if that isn’t bad enough, on the evening before her great sisterly sacrifice, Alexis is knocked flat on her butt by a handsome Brit who won’t take “no” for an answer and insists on taking her out on of all days, Independence Day (hello, we wanted our independence from Great Britain for a reason)!
When their attraction leads to a steamy one night stand full of passion, lies and unspoken truths, will they find a way to turn one night into something more?

And for today? I’ll be posting my review!
Lost in You is a coming of age story that will hook you in within moments of opening the book. Heidi managed to capture the trials and tribulations of loves battles perfectly, and you’ll be rooting for Ryan from page one. I’m a little bit new to the New Adult genre, but to me? This is the perfect epitome of what the books should be.
Kylie knows that she has to have Ryan in her life when she sees him, and she doesn’t hesitate to get him. Even when obstacles are thrown in the way, she’s a determined heroine and I liked that about her.
And Ryan? Oh, dear Ryan. I just wanted to hug him and love him and take him away from his parents. Especially his Dad.
I will admit I teared up at the cop scene–but that’s all I’m saying about that. No spoilers!
I could go on and on and on about this book, but I will end my review with the–GO BUY IT!
And for those of you who can’t, make sure you comment below for a chance to win the PDF!
5 perfect hearts from me.

First, check out this gorgeous cover of Lost in You, Heidi’s new release. This book is seriously amazing. I’m not finished it yet, but needless to say?
My review will be stellar.
And for today’s teaser? We have a small snippet from Ryan’s POV. Words cannot express how much I love, love, love Ryan.
I don’t know where this small bit of confidence came from, but watching her sit there, the way the moonlight is shining off of her, makes me want to be next to her. Never have I had the notion to sit this close to a girl. No, that’s not right, Hadley is anything but a girl. She’s a woman and she wants to talk to me.
For the life of me I can’t fathom why.
Someone like Hadley Carter can have anyone she wants. She’s having this after-party and yet she’s out here on her balcony keeping someone like me company. For all I know she’s taking pity on me because I was alone and about to leave. I suppose leaving her party would’ve made her look like a fool.
I’m close to her, so close that I can touch her if I wanted. I could move my fingers slightly and let her skin light mine on fire. I want to ask her what it feels like for her when we touch because for me it’s as if her skin is full of electricity and my body wants to know what it’s like to be touched by her repeatedly.
Hadley shifts, her knee brushing lightly against my fingers. I don’t move, afraid that she’ll notice. There is a light tingling sensation coursing from her to me. I look down, briefly. She moves closer.
“I shouldn’t tell you this since we just met, but when I saw you across the room I knew I had to know you.”
