My Thoughts
Selena's story begins with her boyfriend throwing her and all of her belongings out of his apartment hitting her in the forehead with a shoe in the process. Selena had managed to get herself into serious debt without having employment causing him to break it off in this dramatic way.
Selena meets Colt showing up to his office for stitches and then ends up working for him to pay off her bill. In their time together she becomes so much more than a patient and employee. She stretches him in ways he couldn't have imagined that day he watched her walk up the sidewalk.
I love so much about Selena and Colt together. Selena is carefree while Colt is rigid, but together they just fit. They accept each other and more than that...they celebrate each other. I love the sci-fi fandom they share as well. The costume party and visit to the convention so fit them. They are sweet with each other and share some spicy moments too.
I give Hollywood Temptation 4 hearts!
Excerpt
A car skidded to a halt outside. He stood up and walked
over to the window. It wasn't the type of car that normally appeared in their
parking lot. Not the usual parking spot, either. It was usually
cars-for-the-stars around here. But this was a run-of-the-mill car. He watched
as a blonde bombshell emerged from the car, pressing something to her head.
There was a parking
lot directly to her left. It was clearly marked. She had
practically blocked the driveway parked there. Another woman who thought the
rules were made for everyone else.
She looked upward and he caught his breath. Even in her
disheveled state he could see she was a knockout. Blond hair around her
shoulders, lovely bone structure—the one thing a plastic surgeon always
noted—lightly tanned skin, curves in all the right places, and fuchsia-pink
lips.
His favorite color on a woman.
He watched as she struggled to straighten her blouse and
skirt with one hand, a signature handbag weighing her down as she continued to
press something to her head. She stumbled. He winced. The last thing they
needed was someone to fall on their way into the clinic and sue them. Bad publicity
and lawsuits were not what they needed right now.
Something was caught around her ankle. He could see the
bright scrap catching on the stiletto heel of her shoe. She stopped and dumped
her bag on the ground then bent down to retrieve the wayward piece of material.
Her head shot back up quickly, glancing at all the windows in the clinic.
Her
face was scarlet.
It wasn’t. It couldn’t be.
Yes, it was.
Colt couldn’t stop the hearty laugh he let out as she
bent down and stuffed the pink thong into her bag.

About the Book
Hollywood surgeon Colt Travers needs a new receptionist
ASAP. When the adorable—and completely
broke—Selena Harris comes in needing stitches, he takes a risk and hires her on
the spot. She can pay off her bill, and he won’t have to answer the phone
anymore. They're opposites in every way, and she's exactly what he doesn’t want
in a woman—impulsive, carefree, and amusing. He's trying to resist her, but the
longer she's around, the further he sinks into temptation.
Selena never meant to get herself in such deep financial
straits. LA has way too much temptation, from high-end shopping to gorgeous
men, and now her life is in chaos. But Colt is different—responsible and
noble—and although their chemistry is off the charts, he’s keeping her at arm’s
length. She's determined to win his trust--and his heart--but will the secrets
she's desperately trying to hide ruin their chance for a big Hollywood happy
ending?
