But surprisingly, she does everything right, and is able to handle him. One day, however, she learns that Garrett's troublesome ways are not due to bad behaviour, but a dark secret that he has to hide from the world.

A good change from the other Hollywood type stories out there.
I thought it a bit strange that each chapter seemed to have a little re-cap of what had happened in the previous chapters, so that left me wondering if it had previously been released as individual chapters, as so many authors seem to do these days.
There was one paragraph that really bugged me, when she's getting ready for the ball/gala/whatever and not being able to wear a certain dress. "She was planning to wear a form fitting A-line gown, in a scarlet red that complimented her figure. However, when she tried it on, it didn't fit at all. Normally stick thin, her 9 month pregnant figure was more of a change than most women..." DOH! You're 9 months preggers love, of course it's not going to bloody fit.
The timeline seemed off for some things as well, cos she went on the 3 month assignment, but I thought she came back after about a month, however later it said about her being there for the full 3 months. I might of read it wrong, but TBH I couldn't be arsed to go back and check, and I'm sure someone else will correct me if I am wrong.
Hey ho, overall I enjoyed the book and at the end of the day that's all that really matters.

Wow, I don't usually review romances because they all follow the same basic formula, but this story hits it out of the park. Get your tissues ready.

No cliffhanger
I'm so used to reading dual povs these days that something is missing when its absent. I'd seriously have liked to be in Garrett's head.
It's a Hollywood romance that spans two years and all within 86 pages so expect the story to jump in whole chunks or months ahead at a time and missing the most important aspects of the developing romance. You know the playing hard to get parts. At the flirty stage of their relationship and at the end of Chapter One Garret was taking Sephora out for the day then Chapter Two started up months later with her waking up in his mansion in his bed. Okayyyy…I want a romance to move along just like the next person I’ve even said so in my other reviews but warp speed? I felt deprived of all the juicy bits.
Garrett is a Hollywood diva, an A-lister who eventually seeks the aid of his new assistant Sephora in helping him keep his desperate secret in a fickle celebrity world. I got a bit confused with the timing but I think it’s a year down the track (and they’ve still managed somehow to keep their relationship (that's the other secret) a secret) when Sephora at Garrett’s insistence accepts the job of a lifetime, its only for three months Lost all interest at this point. I want to read about romance not ambition.

Very short read, Ithought their could have been alot more character development and I would have liked to see more banter from them at the beginning, but as a short read it was nice and very emotional. Different from other Hollywood love stories.

It had more depth than other books I've read that are more than 200 pages long....
I just wish this book was longer, still it's a great heartfelt story.

Really enjoyed this book. Wasn't expecting much from such a short book but it was really good. Didn't take me long to read it.
