Sweet Christian Love Story

This is a fun and enjoyable book! I found myself smiling a lot throughout the story. The characters were well developed and their faith shown through.

This is definitely one of the nicest Hollywood love stories I have ever heard. The two main characters co star on a TV show and fall in love on screen and in real life!!!

There are a few twists and turns. The grandmother was funny and everyone was so patient with her. The whole story was very uplifting. There are Bible verses intertwined throughout the story.

The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life. I always enjoy a HEA ending!

This audiobook was provided free of charge in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion.

What a great story!

I was skeptical at first, because I have a low regard of Holly-weird!! But I was presently surprised!! It was a great pleasure to hear a Christian based book set in “Sin City”
The characters were mostly well developed. A few not so much, however, this didn’t detract from the story.
I know I’ll listen to this book again.

A Sweet Romance

A sweet romance that will make you smile .
The narrator did an amazing job ......

I loved this story!

Everything about this story was interesting--it was great going "behind the scenes" of a Hollywood studio, and yet following the lives of people who interacted with each other. It was great watching how God worked miracles in each of their lives. As usual, any story Julie Lancelot reads will be more interesting than other stories, because she has such a way of bringing us into the story! She's absolutely amazing changing her voices so that you can easily follow the characters of the story, and yet is able to bring the right amount of emotion into the story.

Great Book!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book, this is the first book in the Backstage Pass series written by Janice Thompson and narrated by Julie Lancelot. Kat Jennings and Scott Murphy don't just play two people who are secretly in love on a television sitcom - they are actually head over heels for each other in real life. When the lines between reality and TV land blur, they hope they can keep their relationship under wraps. But when Kat's grandmother, an eccentric star from Hollywood's golden age, mistakes their on-screen wedding proposal for the real deal, things begin to spiral out of control.

The narrator Julie Lancelot did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end.

If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

Cute story aside from the preaching.

Would you try another book from Janice Thompson and/or Julie Lancelot?

I honestly couldn't finish this. I wasn't aware that it had such a deeply religious undertone, and that is not my style.

Has Stars Collide turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Julie Lancelot?

Julie did a good job.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The author was very descriptive, the grandmother, while having her own aging issues, was such an endearing character it almost made up for the rest.

I love Grandmother Worth, she was the best character throughout the whole book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Grandma's bouts of dimentia

Any additional comments?

I wouldn't mind follow up stories with Rex and Grandma, and maybe the writer that doesn't think there is anyone out there for her. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom
