Erwin’s (Seven Years of Secrets) latest takes readers deep into the Arizona desert on the set of a troubled movie production that could make or break its cast and crew. Xavier Duval doesn’t believe in happily ever afters, but as the director of what could be the sci-fi blockbuster of the year, he doesn’t have to. What he does have to do is prove to the studio executives that his currently over-budget film is worth saving. Enter company suit Sutton Spencer. As a film student a decade ago, her talent, enthusiasm for the business, and sunny nature were temptation itself to Xavier, but personal tragedy and a missed connection ended their brief liaison. Now she’s back and possibly the only one who can save his passion project from becoming a tax write-off. Maybe Sutton can prove to him once and for all that happy endings aren’t just the stuff of Hollywood legend.
VERDICT This fast-paced, second-chance romance is sure to appeal to contemporary romance readers, especially those who also enjoy big-screen romances and perhaps have always hoped for a behind-the-scenes peek at a made-in-Hollywood HEA.
