Hollywood King is sexy and entertaining. This was my first book by Monica Corwin, but I will be reading more very soon. This dual POV, second chance romance was very easy to get into and I thoroughly enjoyed the story that was told. Cathy and Heath have been in-love with one another since they were young even though Heath was adopted by Cathy’s Hollywood royalty family. Their relationship is fraught with heartache—and the angst junkie I am loved every moment. Cathy’s story was heartbreaking. Going into the story, I was sure that it would be Cathy’s character that I would identify with and somehow, I found it easier to understand Heath–regardless of the fact that I didn’t agree with some of his actions. Monica wrote a story that flowed well and before I knew it I had read the whole book. I would review this story at 4 stars and recommend it to the lovers of second chance romances. It held both a sexy and sweet vibe that is sure to sweep you away!
On a side note: this novel of Hollywood King that I read include the prequal Hollywood Princess. I had a tough time with the prequal and felt that it was just too short—the early relationship between Heath and Cathy could have been better developed to establish more connection to them and their young love. HOWEVER, this is a bonus to the story, and I do not subtract stars for such. I also didn’t think the same things held true in the full-length novel, Hollywood King.
This book is a second chance romance.
Hollywood King’s is the story about Heath and Cathy. They’re adopted siblings, who fall in love. They end up being separated for 10 years.
In the past 10 years Heath and Cathy had developed the life they wanted for each other separately.
When Cathy faints in the hospital, Heath receives the call as her emergency contact. Which brings them back into each other lives.
When they see each other again is like their love, fire and passion haven’t distinguished.
Now Heath’s back and has decided that he isn’t leaving Cathy again. As Cathy leaves Heath for an experimental treatment he comes to the conclusion he’s done waiting.
This is a beautiful love story. With real life situations. Monica Corwin did
A moving story of love at all costs. It is a little sad but hopeful. Cat and Heath struggle throughout the book against people and situations that keep them apart. Their love for each other is heartfelt and true but has also led to some very heartbreaking moments in their lives. In the end hope for the future and love wins.
Who didn’t fall in love with Heathcliff of Wuthering Heights? This is a retelling in all it’s modern day glory. Monica Corwin has given us all the emotional turmoil and angst, drama, romance and the forbidden; making the reader want to fall into the pages with each turn. It was steamy with a mix of sweetness to it. Making for a classical retelling of a wonderful story. Her characters are relatable with a story and plotline that seamlessly blend together.
I was given a copy of the ARC and am voluntarily leaving my review
Gah!! The minute I read the blurb and saw the gorgeous cover for Hollywood King I knew I needed to read it. I thought this story was sexy, intense and riveting. Heath and Cathy were so fiery together and I loved their strong connection! I could not get enough!
Written as a modern retelling of Wuthering Heights, Hollywood King gives us the steamy story of Heath and Cathy, adopted siblings and first loves. But after that gut punch of an ending (from the Hollywood Princess novella), ten years have gone by and Heath and Cathy are now reunited after the death of their father. But as they spend more time with one another, Cathy realizes Heath will waste no time in reclaiming the prize he lost years earlier – her.
I enjoyed this story a lot and even though I do wish certain parts were fleshed out more, I found Cathy and Heath’s chemistry to be solid and intense. In addition, while this story was equally sexy and heartbreaking at times, above all, I loved that Corwin highlighted the timeless nature of Heath and Cathy’s love for one another. This was fantastic! 4 stars! ~Ratula
In my opinion it was entirely too easy to get swept up in and swept away by this amazing read. I felt that the author did a terrific job when taking the classic “Wuthering Heights” story, modernized it and added some very enticing twists. Cathy and Heath’s story offers a engaging blend of romance, drama, angst, heartache, emotional turmoil and a hint of forbidden. I loved both these characters so much and I thought that there was such an underlaying layer of sweetness to this steamy, beautiful, epic romance.
I loved Hollywood King! Monica Corwin took a classic story and refreshed it into a modern telling that stole my heart! This was a quick read that had ALL the emotions. I will definitely be recommending this book to everyone!
