5 Super Hero Sized Stars!!!
What an incredible start to what’s going to be an incredible series!! Ever since I read Davenport Harbor by Mayra Statham I been a fan of hers. Every book that I read of hers I fall a lil bit harder for Mayra. But, after finishing LIE I have fallen even harder for Mayra.
Marcus Wright AKA Mr.Right to the public. He’s got the reporters and ex-girlfriend making him look horrible in the magazines and TV. Marcus is over it. Him and his best friend/brother/agent and partner are starting up their own production company. They’re looking for the perfect first script to bring to the big screen. When Marcus’s partner Donnie brings him a book his grandmother told him to read, he wasn’t too sure. But, after reading the book from cover to cover in one sitting. Marcus would do anything to get the author to sign the right over to him.
Grace Rivera has been writing and publishing her books since Lexi, her daughter was born. She loves writing. The day she opened her front door to Marcus her life changed. At first Grace thought her sisters sent him there. After a hysterical first meeting, life was never the same. Grace knows who Marcus is. She’s read and seen all about him. He also played a super hero and her daughter loves super heroes. So, yea Grace knows all about him.
Marcus sees that Grace isn’t really sure if she should sign over the rights.Marcus wants to prove to Grace he’s the right man for her book to become movie. Marcus tells Grace to shadow him for a week. To see how much of a hard worker he is. Then, when their time is up then she can decide if she will or will not sign over the rights. Grace agrees to it. But, both of them were unprepared for what was going to come out of it,
Grace is absolutely perfect. She’s an excellent mother and sister. Grace, her sisters and Lexi are a team. They have been since forever. Grace always puts them first. She’s raised an incredible little girl. Who legit stole the book for me lol. Grace falls for Marcus inst-quick. But, she refuses to tell him her feelings. She’s not stupid. Grace knows all about his playboy ways. She won’t be another fling. But, it’s hard bc he says all the right things. It’s one of the many reasons I loved her. She kept her eyes and ears open and never backed down. Grace handled everything so so much better then I would’ve.
Marcus. Oh Marcus. He looks like such a major jerk in the public eye. But, when you get in his head and heart, you’ll see he’s not and he’s so much more. Marcus loves his family. He never realized he wanted a life with a steady girlfriend or children. But, the minute Grace opened her door his eyes and heart opened. Then, he met Lexi and his life was complete. He didn’t care who knew it. The only person who could and would ruin it the first chance he got was his older brother.
This is Mayra’s best book to date. Grace and Marcus are both incredible people. But, when they get together they’re incredible people who are now happy. They deserve it too. Their lives haven’t been easy. But, they made it work and they survived it. They were happy. But, they were missing something. Mayra gave us an incredible story about a couple. But, she gave us a bunch of incredible people. Marcus has his 3 brothers. Grace has her 2 sisters. And, they are all different, crazy, funny, angry, scary and awesome. Let’s just say Mayra needs to do nothing but write write and write. Because, I need these books!!
WOW!! This was a really good book. I loved how much of a jerk Marcus was in the beginning and how Grace doesn’t take any of his crap. He than starts to show her his true self while she tries to keep up a shield between them so that she doesn’t get hurt. Not to mention what would happen to her daughter if she let him into their lives. But one thing that I really enjoyed the most was how close and involved the family members are. I’m really looking forward to reading their stories.
Happy Reading
This is the first book I have read from this author and I really enjoyed it. Once I started reading I was sucked into Marcus and Grace’s story. You have a Hollywood heartthrob and a single mom who’s a writer with a smart and sassy 6 year old. I enjoyed reading Marcus and Grace’s journey as Marcus tries to win over her heart. This was a hot, sweet, funny love story with a little drama. Love how strong and sassy Grace is and protective and hardworking Marcus is. I also liked the other characters in the story. Can’t wait to read more from this author and next book in the series.
I received an ARC and volunteered to leave a review.
From the start this book had me hooked. Marcus appears to be cocky, self-centred and willing to do anything to get what he wants. The actor who is used to everyone coming to his beck and call, but it’s all becoming old to him. Maybe he isn’t like the tabloids portray him. Then he meets Grace, she has something he wants…………and then he wants so much more. Love Grace!! She is sassy, feisty and she doesn’t even know who he is when they first meet. She is like a breath of fresh air to him, mix in her adorable daughter and the feisty sisters!
This book gave me the feels, so much so that at times I wanted to throat punch Garrett! (Marc’s brother). Can’t wait to read more from this author!
This book was an great read! The characters are real and messy and emotional and all over the place in a good way. Though you know in the beginning what’s going to ultimately going to happen, it’s the journey in between that is unpredictable. It was the first time I have read this author but it won’t be my last. I look forward to reading more from her.
This book was another amazing 5 star read by Mayra. Loved the story and the characters I loved that Graces character was a normal plus size single mom. This was a beautiful love story about 2 people. Marc made a mistake, but went after what he wanted. And Lexi? She totally stole the show. This book had all the feels. A must read
What a great Hollywood romance story!
Marcus is a hot well known actor. He is looking to start his own production company.
Grace is a single mom and writer of a book that Marcus wants the rights to.
Will Marcus do what it takes to get what he wants? or will Grace and Lexi capture his heart?
This was an awesome book! I’ve already downloaded the next one 🙂
If there’s one book you want to buy from a author that maybe you don’t know then this is the book for you. A book written by the very talented Mayra Statham. I’ve loved her books since I first got introduced to her and have seen her growth and her talent soar. This story proves it. Every single word.
Marcus Wright is ‘Mr Right’ in Hollywood. He’s handsome and a talented actor who has been the swoon worthy male in RomComs, a superhero and many others. He has an idea and hopes that it will come to fruition. His world is crazy but once he meets Grace Rivera it total tips his axel.
Grace Rivera writes romance, happily ever afters. One day her world changes and nothing could have prepared her for ‘Mr Right.’ He wants the rights to her book for a movie deal, but his words feel like he wants more. Is it all a Lie? Or is it for real?
We go on their journey of finding the trust, the growth of their relationship, the interactions with characters who we love and some who we would like to choke. We go through some mistakes. We are taken through many emotions. Every page will keep you hooked. You’ll laugh, cry, swoon, yell and fall in love. Mayra has given us a beautiful story of finding ones true love. Highly highly recommended. Top favs of 2016.
I have to say this book was fan-freakingtastic!! This is a well written book and Mayra is truly talented and gifted with words. Marcus is searching for his big break as a director and it looks like he may have hit the jackpot right? Well let me tell ya Grace plans to make him work for it. Somewhere along the way feelings are forming and secrets are being kept. Grace plans to protect her daughter Lexie at all costs. But what happens when you throw in meddling siblings? Well you’re left with a great HEA, but wanting more from them! This is a great start to an amazing series!! 5 stars all the way!
Ms. Mayra has done it again! She has captured our hearts with her beautifully real story and down to earth believable characters.
Grace Riveria is a beautiful, funny, curvy, strong author and oh yes, sassy as the day is long. She is a devoted single mom and her cute as a button little girl is a chip off the old block. She is fortunate to be surrounded by her dedicated and protective sisters that always have her back and will do anything for her!
Marcus Wright (Mr. Right) is a very hardworking, talented, strong willed action star and oh yes very bossy. He is definitely used to getting his way.
What happens when these two firecrackers meet! Marcus is introduced to a romance novel that he feels deep in his heart can be the first movie that his new production studio can bring to life on the big screen. The only thing or shall we say gal that stands in his way is the lovely and not easily persuaded Grace. Marcus makes a ridiculous bet with his brood of brothers before meeting Grace and he soon comes to regret it! This becomes his downfall and begins to weave the web of lies that soon realizes are burying him and dousing any chance that he has with the beautiful Grace.
They get off to a very rocky start that is also quite hysterical. Grace thinks that her sisters are playing quite a prank on her when Mr. Right shows up on her doorstep courting her novel. Grace being the quick witted gal that she is makes quite a few off color remarks to Marcus. She really has no idea who he is. Marcus realizes how much he actually enjoys her sass ! He finally decides to take her on and as they say Let the Games Begin!
Loved the journey of Grace and Marcus. I am so looking forward to each supporting cast member getting their own book! I loved Grace’s sisters and Marcus’s best friend and brothers!!! They are wonderfully entertaining!!!
I was gifted this book for an honest review. (
