Publisher's summary

Hayley Carpenter has always dreamed of being a famous screenwriter, but dreams don’t pay bills and LA living isn’t cheap. So when a temp position at a celebrity gossip magazine becomes available, she goes after it.

Emerson Sterling has been acting since she was little, but a rough patch as a teenager has given her a bad rap in Hollywood. Just when she thinks her dream role can turn around the public’s image of her, a conflict with her co-star and America’s Sweetheart, Rachel Blanche, puts her on the front cover of every magazine, the villain once again.

Rumors swirl that the starlets’ feud started in the bedroom, and Hayley accidentally overhears a conversation between Emerson and Rachel that could lead to the biggest scoop of her career. Will Hayley follow the story, or will her irresistible attraction to Emerson and the secrets Emerson is desperate to keep buried ruin both their careers...and their chance at love?

Excellent!

I loved Media Darling. Great story. Loved Hayley and Emerson. I hate the fact that the media hounds them. Now I feel justified in not paying any attention to gossip shows or gossip rags. If people stopped supporting gossip writers and photographers. The world would be a better place. Lori Prince does an excellent job with the narration.

Great Character Development!

Loved - it - all! Loved the character complexities! The only thing I wanted was a return to the document Em wrote on H’s tablet during the interrogation.

Fantastic!!!

Really really enjoyed this book and loved the characters! I kept waiting and dreading for a certain turning point to happen, but fortunately the author chose to not go with the normal formula and went in a different direction. Great book and well narrated.

Lori Prince saved this book

The storyline was frustrating most of the time, given the questionable crisis communication techniques deployed by the protagonists. Their romantic encounter was very sweet though and Prince’s narration was stellar as always. Only buy this audiobook if you are I) a fan of Lori Prince, and ii) not a PR or media professional (as you may realise how unrealistic the celebrity-centered storyline is).

Fan of the author, paying customer

Honestly, Fiona Riley is becoming one of my top three favorite authors in this genre.
As with all of her novels, the characters are well developed and the relationship seems to progress naturally and realistically. Making the journey effortlessly enjoyable. Definitely worth the money.
