The Scene Stealer

A Hollywood Romance

By: Renee Harless

Narrated by: Tim Paige, Kelsey Navarro

Scene Stealer (noun): an actor who attracts attention when another is intended to be the center of attention.

The glow of fame only casts shadows. The name Devyn Dane was once lit up amongst the stars. Everyone worshiped me. But now, I’m on the edge of darkness. No one warned me about the fall. My crash was lethal. These days I’m nothing more than a forgotten child star with a tainted reputation.

Redemption is what I need. When a chance is handed to me, I vow not to blow it - I can’t. This could launch me back to stardom. But nothing is given freely in Hollywood. Everything comes with a price. This time, mine is a bombshell waitress battling insecurities deep enough to rival even my own.

The resilient Larsen is a mystery I can’t wait to unravel. Her brokenness makes me feel not so alone. But together, we are a complete mess that should never work. I know it, Hollywood knows it, and someone is hell-bent on making sure we don’t beat the odds.

I truly believed she was my ally. An added boost on my rise back to fame. But the shine of Hollywood masks many things. She broke my focus, pulling me away from the most important goal.

That’s the thing with a scene stealer - you never see them coming.

Amazing

I have listened to a few books lately and I have to say I am starting to love listening to books more and more. The emotions that you get from the characters is outstanding. Renee you have out done your self with this one and now I have to go back and get the other ones. I need to listen to them. The story is amazing and well done. Tessa needs a story...

Great Story and Narration

I loved these characters when I read the book and listening to them come alive through Tim Paige and Kelsey Navarro only added to my love of Devyn and Larsen.

Devyn is the typical child actor grown up and gone astray. Problems with parents, drugs, alcohol - all of it. When he needs to get away he takes off driving and ends up on a little town in the middle of nowhere.

Larsen is fighting her own demons, but trying to move her life forward. Taking college classes as she can and helping her uncle through his own heartbreak.

They never expected to be what each other needed. It was supposed to be a fling.

This book is so much more than what it appears to be. Some will see a simple love story, but if you let it, it will resonate deep inside to that spot we all want to have filled with that one person that makes us complete.

Tim Paige where have you been my whole life!?

Goodness!! This was my second title that I have listened to narrated by Tim Paige and now I freaking love him. This role was so great for him and I saw a lot more range than the other title that I had listened to. That man sure knows how to say a certain 4-letter word that starts with F. This book was great, I loved the depth of characters and their rise to overcome their backgrounds. Kelsey is such a professional and one of my favorite female narrators. Paired with Tim...it was just out of this world. I need more of these two STAT!!!

Loved this!

I absolutely adored Larsen and Devin. I loved their chemistry from the get go!

This book was so well written and narrated. I love audio books because it really brings more feeling into the story and i think if i read this first, i wouldn't have felt any of the emotions properly.

I can't wait for more!!!

Good story

Great characters with a story to tell. The book had me interested from beginning to the end. Narration Is good.

Beauty Within Vs. Beauty On the Outside

I initially read this book when it was 1st released, and I'll admit that I was leary of listening to it on Audible. I feared that the Narrators wouldn’t live up to the characters I heard in my head. I was wrong! Tim Paige & Kelsey Navarro did an Amazing Job. They each made me fall back in love with the characters.

WOW … Be prepared to embark on an Emotional Rollercoaster (Sign of a Talented Author if they can bring the reader to ‘feel’ not just read emotions.)

Devyn & Larsen are two people who desperately struggle with their own issues and pasts. They are a bit of a Ying & Yang …. Initially, you may see Devyn as being weak & Larson as being strong, but really they both equally embody these traits. Being a famous actor Devyn is always in the spotlight & can never fully trust anyone’s motives. He’s also never really seen as anything more than eye candy. Larsen has the physical scars that mirror her internal ones. Few ever get close to who she is beyond her marred skin.
In the confines of a small town where his car breaks down, they meet and with each other, they can not only let their guards down and be themselves freely without judgment, they’re also able to be what the other one has been missing. They don’t just complement each other – they complete each other!

But as one can imagine, a small-town girl isn’t very equipped to deal with the press or rather paparazzi that comes along with dating a Hollywood star. And as someone trying to regain his place back on the Hollywood Sign, Devyn, struggles to put someone else’s needs above his own desire to be back on the “It List” of who’s who in Hollywood.

I hope I’ve intrigued you to see if they get their Happily Ever After.

A great story!💜

I really enjoyed this book. Well written with a perfect combination of broken, charm, romance & drama!!

Sisters Spotlight 💜

Excellent book!

Renee Harless has woven a wonderful story of two people from very different worlds who find each other by accident. Or maybe fate.

Devin has been an actor since he was a child and he did what many child stars do as they get older... and now he’s trying to rebuild his career. Enter Lawson, a young woman living in a small town who hides herself away because of scars she has from an accident. Devin ends up in this small town when he has car trouble... and his life may never be the same.

Tim Paige and Kelsey Navarro are so good!!! Love their voices.

The scene stealer

The voices are so smooth they just grab you and pull you into the story. Tim’s voice just oozes charm, I had a little bit more trouble with Kelseys narration, but it finally grabbed my attention. A great story to listen to while cleaning or doing errands, the voices just help you relax.
The story is a beautifully sweet romance between two partially broken characters. You can’t help but root for their happily ever after. But, of course, there always has to be some people who want to spoil others happiness. A perfect amount of romance, steam, and suspense!

Loved!!

I loved this book!! The narrators did an awesome job and the story was great.
