Laurie West narration was very good giving all the angst, emotion, heartbreak, and love in this story. I was gifted this audio and offered ny honest review
Amy Prince is a first year college professor teaching English Literature. She doesn’t have the attention of her students today because they’re too busy looking across the field at the movie set, hoping to catch a glimpse of the star, Josh Roberts. Amy isn’t one bit impressed because she realizes that she’s lost control of the discussion in class and mid-terms are just around the corner. There’s no hope, but she’s curious enough to take a glance out the window and there he is. She has to admit he’s really good looking, but he’s still interrupting her class. She runs into Josh as she’s getting into her car and asks his name and doesn’t treat him like a star. That has his attention! He’s definitely interested and is waiting in her classroom to ask her for a date. Expecting to see Josh, she turns and recognizes that person in her room as her jealous and ruthless ex-boyfriend who decides that nobody else is going to have her, especially Josh Roberts. When Josh is beaten up in the parking lot, he spends time recuperating staying with Amy, finding out how normal people live. But another ex is waiting to disrupt their lives. Josh’s ex-girlfriend and sometime fellow star won’t let anyone steal “her man” and does everything she can do to keep them apart. Amy and Josh have some miscommunication problems and trust issues which threaten to tear them apart. They both need to get a spine and come clean with everything that bothers them. I want Josh to kick Caroline out of his sight so Amy can trust him. Amy feels like she’s been betrayed and Josh is going to have to make that grand gesture to get her back. The epilogue is sweet and brings the whole story full circle. Satisfying!
The narration is very well done by Laurie West. Each character’s voice is clear and dynamic with a personality all its own.
Hollywood Heartthrob
A Teacher Celebrity Romance
By: Clarissa Carlyle
Narrated by: Laurie West
There is nothing better than smiling at the end of a book. Clarissa Carlyle has once again given me that wonderful feeling with Hollywood Heartthrob. Amy Prince is a college English teacher who’s class is disrupted by a movie set near her class. All the students are in awe of Josh Roberts, Hollywood Heartthrob. After meeting him, she is less than interested, but Josh does his best to catch her eye. When he is found in the parking lot injured though, Amy takes him. Now in small quarters, these two let the sparks fly. But with fame comes consequences, and now in the public eye, these two are up against it all. Will they find their balance? Love this story! Amy is so much fun being the normal, everyday woman, unimpressed with hunky Josh. And Josh proves to be much more than his public persona. Drama, jealousy and passion drive this story and will leave you rooting for their happily ever after!
Laurie West is amazing, and each time I listen to her, I love her more. She brings these characters to life with great voices and a sound that is music to my ears.

Happy Thoughts!!
This was a nice interlude outside the global pandemic we are currently living in. For a little while, this novel takes us away from reality for a little while for some light and bright. This story was original and felt believable at the time of reading. As was said in the novel itself, working women came home after work, read the story and again felt hope in their hearts that something like this could happen to them. Happy Thoughts!!
I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel from the author and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.
The story starts off really strong and I was really enjoying it. But as the story proceeded it had me thinking that Amy needed more work. She is feisty and sweet but as it progresses she seems weak. Josh is great until towards the end as well. It was well edited but I would have liked to see just a bit more. I will say it is definitely worth reading and makes a nice read even with the minor issues.
Nicely written storyline and well defined characters grabbed my attention from the very beginning and wouldn’t let me put this book down until I finished reading the very last page!
