Where to begin?
First of all, I love a good love story. That should be obvious. But so often, I read stories that leave me wondering why two characters are together and how long they’ll stay together.
Not so with Valentina and Smith.
These two have waited for a long time, made lots of sacrifices for family and careers. And then they meet each other.
I’d say it’s like fireworks at first sight, but as with any good show, there’s a crescendo.
Other things I really appreciated about this feel good romance: a glimpse at San Francisco and Alcatraz. The family dynamics. Also, how mature Valentina’s sister is and how sweet and supportive their relationship is. Honestly, more folks need to read this and let these families be a guide to getting along.
From the back cover:
Movie star Smith Sullivan can’t afford any distractions. He’s staking his entire reputation on his new film…but he can’t stop thinking about Valentina Landon and the fire he sees smoldering just beneath the surface.
Valentina isn’t averse to sensual pleasure, or even to the idea of finding true love, but as a Hollywood business manager she’s watched too many smart women fall for actors…only to be torn apart when the fairytale comes to its inevitable end.
But when intense weeks together on set turn their heated attraction into red-hot flames of passion, Smith knows he has to find a way to convince Valentina to let him get a little bit closer. Close enough to completely steal her heart…the way she’s stolen his from the start.
