Publisher's Summary:

Can best friends become lovers while the cameras are rolling?

Movie star Gideon Kelly has always harbored a secret crush for his longtime friend and assistant, Sarah. One sizzling kiss is enough to convince him she's the only woman for him, and he'll do anything to prove to her they have all the makings of an epic Hollywood romance.

Sarah Holtz rose to stardom as a child only to crash and burn in her late teen years. Gideon was there to help put the pieces of her life back together, and she now relishes her life far away from the paparazzi flashes. Her need for privacy is the one thing holding her back from exploring something more with him. When a video of their kiss goes viral, she's left wondering if he's worth the risk of stepping back into the spotlight to become his leading lady.

A good friends-to-more/long-time-coming story

A good friends-to-more/long-time-coming story. I've enjoyed the whole series and this was mostly a good addition, although I spent most of this book irritated with all of the characters.

The reason it's my least favorite in the series and I couldn't rate it higher: (Slight spoiler)

Spoiler: The character falling-off the wagon and the 'oh well, whatever' way it's handled by all of the characters (including the one who's hard work and sobriety was just thrown out the window) completely pulled me out of the story. Having significant others struggle with this and having my own struggles with an addiction, tossing out years of sobriety is huge, and it should be hard to watch someone (you actually care about) fall like that. I'm not saying make it a sob-story, but in this book, it's just a convenient plot point that seemed like no big deal, a good thing for most of the characters, even. Like really- just a drunk night out, let's film everything, let's get everything we want from her, woo-hoo! It's actually kind of sad/twisted if you think about it too hard. (Or is that the point? Don't think too hard?)

I get that these are mostly light-hearted books (not that there aren't some heavy plot points along the way), but maybe don't touch such a dark issue if it's just going to be handled quite so flippantly?

Okay, but not as good as the others.....

I've been reading The Kelly Brothers since the beginning and while I was sad to see it end, I was looking forward to reading Gideon's book. It contains some of the same magic and romance that made me fall in love with The Kelly Brothers. I love how Gideon is so determined to help Sarah to get her life together. I thought the little subplot about the Golden Globe award was really sweet.

Unfortunately, there were certain aspects of this book that kept me from giving it higher than three stars. While I appreciated Gideon's determination to win Sarah over, there were a few things that he did that were completely over the line, things that would make it completely hard for me to trust someone, especially someone that I was in love with. I know he apologized and admitted that what he did was wrong, but there are some things that just can't be fixed by a simple apology.

As great as the first 6!

Brew your favorite beverage, grab your ereader or this book and cozy up for an enjoyable read!

I loved this book! What a way to tie up the series.
