Publisher's summary

In this irresistible new novel by Mary Ann Marlowe, one woman's up-close and sexy encounter with a tabloid sensation reveals the dizzying - and delicious - dilemma of dating in the spotlight.

Celebrities hold zero interest for photographer Jo Wilder. That's a problem, since snapping pics of the stars is how the pretty paparazza pays the rent. So when Jo attempts to catch a money shot atop the broad shoulders of a helpful bystander, the only thing she notices about the stranger she straddles is that he's seriously hot. Only later does Jo learn that he's also Micah Sinclair - one of rock's notorious bad boys....

Soon Jo is on the verge of getting fired for missing a Micah Sinclair exclusive. Until she's suddenly being pursued by the heartthrob himself. But how can she be sure the musician's mind-blowing kisses are the real deal? Her colleagues claim he's a media whore, gambling on some free PR. But something has Jo hoping Micah's feeling the same powerful pull that she does. A pull so strong, she can't resist becoming his latest love, even if it means she might become the media's latest victim....

Critic reviews

"Heartfelt, flirty and full of sizzle, this romance between a charming rock star and a half-hearted paparazza is the perfect romantic comedy." ( RT Book Reviews)

"Another sizzling, glitterati-filled story." ( Booklist)

A Paparazza? Really? Ok, it works.

This unlikely plot is a little stilted and has some jumps of believably you have to make. But overall I cannot bring myself to grade the overall enjoyment down. Jo is a photographer you find yourself rooting for. I know you say, really! But she is so bad at her job, yet has such talent, you are dying to see where this story leads.

This is the second installment of the series. I accidentally read this is first and it stood on its own very well. I am going to go back and read the first book. I give this novel a thumbs up. I'm hoping book one is as good as this one.

This book sings to my soul

If you like music, pop culture and swoony, sexy musicians...I present you with the best book to eat your heart out. And the heroine is a strong woman who stands up for herself in the face of misogyny. You go girl.

So cute!

I really liked the first book in this series, so I was beyond excited to read Micah’s story. This one pulled me in even faster and kept me listening intently right to the end. (BTW you don't have to have read the first in the series to read this one).

Brittany Pressley sounded great as the narrator and did a great job with subtlety in differentiating characters.

After a chapter or two I fell for Jo and Micah, hard. I *really* liked that she was a strong career-oriented woman and that he wasn't too brooding. I especially loved Micah from the start--so charming! This author will be on my auto-buy list from now on for sure!!


I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I loved it!

I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters were well developed and the writing was well done. I truly enjoyed the descriptions, the conflicts within the book, and appreciated that it had both a dose of reality with the romance. If you like a light read, a little love and romance, and a touch of humor thrown in with conflict and a little drama, you’ll enjoy this book. In truth, it was just what I needed at the moment, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as it offered me comfort, laughter, and what I love the most romance and happy endings.

Couldn't finish

Couldn't take any more of the repetitive complaining that is supposed to pass for a story line. You can see the 'problems' coming from a mile away. Just couldn't listen to it any more.
