Imagine me nakedPractice makes perfectIt’s only actingWhenever Olivia Ward got nervous before a play that’s what I’d tell her.Stunningly beautiful, and extremely talented, it was no wonder she became a famous actress. But before all that my best friend had to learn a few things the hard way.One- the ones you love most will let you down the hardest. Two- Romeo and Juliet is overrated. Three- the … most will let you down the hardest. Two- Romeo and Juliet is overrated. Three- the last hard lesson nearly hung down to my knee, and sexy-as-hell Olivia was a slow learner.
Growing up I’d lost my family and she was the only one who saved me. From that second on we knew we were meant to be together. She was the cool-headed, smart YIN to my hot-tempered, protective YANG.
Six months to turn eighteen and we had it all figured out.
Until, with one sentence, her a$$hole father ruined everything.
Now six years later I’m suddenly one of the most powerful men in the world and she’s the one who needs saving. I’m her only chance.
She can hate me all she wants but we both know…
It’s only acting.
This beyond steamy, second chance love story simultaneously follows Olivia and Bastien when they met as open-hearted teenagers and are reunited as strong-willed adults. Both heart-touching storylines come together to give the couple their hard won HEA. Absolutely no cheating. Get ready to laugh, cry and cheer for these star-crossed lovers. There’s also a special unique gift from the author to you at the end of the story

I love a good second chance romance story and It’s Only Acting hits the spot front and center. I was intrigued from the start with Olivia and her big break with her acting career, I love how she’s still so down to earth and a people person. Bastien has so much more to him then meets the eye and as we learn more about him I can’t help but fall more and more for this man. It’s a nice change to read a story with both main characters POV’s being switched throughout and it’s not repetitive, we continue to move forward with what’s happening in their lives. When you find out what happened all those years ago with these two your jaw will drop just as mine has, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. It’s not always easy to keep readers on their toes throughout a story but that’s what makes it even better, you’ll never see what the future holds. Absolutely incredible read and this is not an act, this is my unbiased and voluntary review.
Another home run for Jackson Kane. Olivia and Bastien have reconnected after years apart (after knowing each other during high school) and neither is entirely thrilled with the situation, being that they didn’t part on good terms. However, Olivia and her family are in danger and Bastien has been tasked with keeping her safe from harm. This situation is easy for neither of them because Olivia is a famous actress in the public eye and being with a rough-around-the-edges guy like Bastien could potentially damage her public persona and make it more difficult for her to obtain acting roles, a situation already fraught with other complications.
I was not completely in love with the violence and alpha-maleness displayed by the main character but I know others LOVE that in their boyfriends, both book and real life. Also, it was slightly annoying to have a flashback at the start of (almost) every chapter but both the flashbacks and present tense stories were well-told and, admittedly, effective at keeping the reader’s interest because they just want to keep reading so they can get back to the main storyline (or the flasback line) and see what’s happening.
All in all, a great read from a great author.
Olivia and Bastien, i fell in love with their story and hated seeing the book come to an end. I felt like I could read about them forever. I am not a real big fan of second chance reads but this one really won me over. I love Kane’s writing style and look forward to his next book
Loved it
This was my first book by Jackson and I couldn’t get enough. I really enjoyed how in the beginning of every chapter he went to the past. Such a unique writing style. I did not want this book to end.
A great twist on Romeo and Juliet, this was a very enjoyable read. Very relatabkle characters and situations. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend.
