Blurb
From bestselling author Sarah Deeham comes Star-Crossed Assistant, a new boss-assistant steamy, slowburn standalone romance in the Falling For Famous series.

I quit.
After years as movie star Sebastian Blake’s personal assistant, I’ve had enough. My infuriating, impossible, and ridiculously hot boss may pay well, but it’s hard to have a life when I’m at his beck and call twenty-four seven.

It’s time to forget any inconvenient feelings for him and finally go after my own dreams.

So I quit. I figure Sebastian won’t care.

Except he’s not letting me leave. I somehow go from personal assistant to fake fiancée. And sharing—only one bed—with my boss.

I need her. Nobody else.

Emma may not realize it, but she’s more than just my assistant. She’s a sarcastic overachiever who doesn’t let me get away with anything. And she’s way too distracting in her prim little skirts. But I can’t imagine my life without her.

When she suddenly quits, my entire world rearranges. She keeps talking about boundaries. But now we're fake engaged. And all I want is to keep her close forever.

MY REVIEW


When Emma has finally had enough of her boss, Hollywood star Sebastian Blake, she quits. It's supposed to be a fresh new start for her, freedom from being on call all the time, at the mercy of Sebastian's whims. But...it's not exactly going to plan, because for some reason, Sebastian seems intent on convincing her to stay with him. And it even morphs into a fake engagement for a weekend. Now she has a decision to make - take the leap with Sebastian and the chance of a great love or play it safe.


Sebastian has long been keeping his feelings for his assistant Emma, a secret. He thinks they're friends though, which he thinks at the very least means she should give him a chance to persuade her to stay. But when she ends up in the hospital, all his feelings come out. Sebastian's not about to let his Emma go, even it means he has to trick her into a fake engagement to keep her close.


When this man finally had his epiphany, he was down sooo bad! He was definitely oblivious, and probably even a dick, but once he realized all the ways he had failed Emma, he wasted no time in redeeming himself. She made him work for her heart, and I was here for it. I love their slow burn with sizzling chemistry, and all the little ways (and big) they loved each other. I've been loving this series, and Emma and Sebastian just made me love it even more.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
