So I’ve updated the list and removed some books that aren’t what I had in mind for the list. The purpose was to list fiction romance books that involve characters that are either actors/actresses or musicians. I’ve update the “fiction romance” part in the description. I understand the “famous characters” title and “must be famous” part of the description can be subjective, but it’s really meant for actors/actresses or musicians. These characters do need to have celebrity status but famous enough that they have somewhat of a fan base or performing for their fans or performing because that’s their career focus.
So books that relate to characters that are famous because they are a super-loaded, super-successful businessman (but maybe play a little music on the side), like Christen Grey from Fifty Shades by E.L. James does not qualify for this list. Or if they are famous because of their parents, like Rush Finlay from the Too Far series by Abbi Glines (love him!) but doesn’t make a career out of being an actor or a musician, then that doesn’t qualify as well. Or if they are famous because they’re athletes (i.e. football players, MMA fighters, and etc), then that doesn’t qualify because they’re not an actor/actress or musician. Or if they are famous because they’re a crown prince or something other than an actor/actress/musician, then they do not qualify. Also, the list was meant for fiction romance books, not non-fictions or biographies of real-life actors/actresses/musicians (like Sting or Marilyn Monroe).
I hope I’ve made the list a little more clearly and I apologize for the confusion, I should’ve been more specific.
