But for Ashe Hunter, one secret is coming back for her encore.
To his fans, Ashe Hunter is the perfect man, the classically trained British actor taking Hollywood and Broadway by storm. To his American girlfriend, Riley Eames, he is a man in love who’ll do anything to keep her safe from the prying eyes of paparazzi suddenly … safe from the prying eyes of paparazzi suddenly digging into her life.
But to someone from his past, Ashe is her ticket to Hollywood fame and she’ll do anything to get it even if it means tearing down the perfect image he built for himself long after he left her.
Loving Riley is the sequel to Loving Ashe. Not a standalone.

Wonderful ending to Riley and Ashe’s journey. Everything came full circle and felt complete. As with the first part of their story there are a lot of emotions and feelings in this half as well. Jealousy and anger from outside sources create a good amount of drama in Riley and Ashe’s lives. Threatening to tear them apart but their love, mutual respect and honesty with each other just might make them strong enough to get through the storm. There were a couple of surprises as Ashe and Riley try to figured out who has it out for them and what the end game is.
Theirs is a story of love, betrayal, forgiveness and healing.
I really enjoyed going on this journey with them. (4.5)
Riley and Ashe develop their relationship. Ashe tries to keep his image squeaky clean, but he has a dark past he wants to keep hidden. Riley and Ashe have more depth to their characters.
Suspense, mystery, drama, and twists makes this story interesting.
Martin John Hopkins is a terrific narrator. I enjoyed listening to this story.

Loving Riley
I really enjoyed the journey that these characters took me on throughout the story
This is th second and final book in The Celebrity Series. This is a great conclusion to Riley and Ashe’s story. They are both strong, honest, mature, and beautiful characters. They share a sizzling chemistry. This emotional story is beautifully written. I love to have Ashe’s POV. He is a handsome character, intriguing, loving and caring. The storyline is filled with suspense, secrets, drama, and unpredictable twists and turns. Martin John Hopkins has a great voice, with an amazing British accent, really pleasant to listen to. However, I would have liked a better range of voices, because the characters weren’t always easy to distinguish. This isn’t a big issue, because we get, for the most part, Ashe’s POV. I enjoyed listening to this story.
This is a wonderful conclusion to the series. I enjoyed Ashe’s point of view. The revelations were twists that I never saw coming. These pages turned themselves as I could not stop reading. Ashe’s past that he has been keeping hidden from Riley may come out and ruin what they have. I found myself routing for Ashe and I found myself hating others. There is so much revealed in this book, that is is a must read. Preferably immediately after reading Loving Ashe.
Martin John Hopkins has an amazing British accent. He brought Ashe to life. Mr. Hopkins is able to separate the characters well. His female voices were easy to listen to and did not seem forced. This is my first story with Mr. Hopkins narrating and I hope to hear more from him.
Loving Riley, Celebrity Book 2 wraps up the celebrity series with the pov of Ashe’s.
With Ashe’s past being brought into view blackmail which took a scandalous turn. The reveal of dark secrets brings more angst, melodrama, & unexpected twists to the narrative. Suspense & mystery swirling through the pages. Supporting character’s play a intricate role & sweeten up the lovestory. The ending was fitting.
Narator Martin John Hopkins performance of Ashe was how I pictured Ashe. His british accent fit the character. However, when changing characters his voice didn’t change enough which made it difficult to differentiate between them. That being said, most of the audio is of Ashe speaking so it didn’t take too much of the story away. His tone & pace flows through smoothly. Am easy listen.

Loving Riley is book 2 in the Celebrity Series and it was a fantastic conclusion to Riley and Ashe’s story. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, it flowed smoothly, and kept me fascinated throughout and turning the pages. It is well written, filled with mystery, suspense, and of course love. I highly recommend this book you won’t be disappointed.
The narration by Martin John Hopkins was remarkable! His performance and voice kept me fascinated.
I received a free audible copy for my honest review.
Riley and ashe are In love and very happy. But when some woman from Ashe’s past threatens to uncover some dirt from Ashe will she destroy Ashe and Riley and break their love? More truths will be discovered that will strengthen their love forever. The audiobook is great, deep and sensual voice.
This is book two in this series and I do recommend reading book one first. A lot happens in that book and although the author does an excellent job covering the key facts, I think the devil is in the details and feel having that knowledge will increase you enjoyment of the story. Ashe and Riley. Where to start. I wanted Ashe’s story. It was impossible not to. He is hot, sweet, caring, supportive and in my opinion grade A book boyfriend material. There was a whole lot left unsaid and unexplored about him in book one and you were well aware of it. However, after the intense roller coaster ride of emotional turmoil, drama, angst and enough twists to give you whiplash, I wondered if book two could compare. Well, that was a fear that was very short lived because she delivered!! More shocking revelations will have your jaw dropping and your head spinning!! I am totally jealous of Riley having Ashe but even he is not worth all the secrets, lies and betrayals she has in her life. LOL I thought that this book offered a good balance between the drama storm that swirled around them and their relationship and feelings for each other. Ashe continues to be his amazing self, even as his past comes calling. I felt so bad for him. We all have things we regret and it is always painful when those ghosts come calling. Fame and success only made it so much worse. Riley was Riley. As quirky and funny as always. I did think she showed some growth emotionally (which was a big pet peeve for me in book one). That being said, I am a firm believer that what you endure and survive makes you so much stronger and with Riley that was very, very slow to happen. I still felt that she was often her own worst enemy.as she reacted without clear though or care to herself or others. I thought the conclusion to Ashe and Riley’s story was complex, compelling, sweet, poignant and very satisfying.
A suspenseful, mystery romance, Loving Riley pushes all the right buttons for keeping the reader’s interest. Having read Loving Ashe, I wasn’t sure whether I would enjoy this book, but it is written with so much heartfelt emotion, that I found myself unable to put the book down. The love that Ashe has for Riley is the stuff that dreams are made from, but unfortunately not everyone feels that way about her. There are those who hate her, whether she deserves it or not; then there are those who treat her as a child, and finally those who will try to get what they want at her expense. Through it all, despite the ups and downs and revelations that are made, Riley doesn’t crack, proving that she’s grown up and able to handle the knocks of life. Ashe still wants to protect her, but when he sees how she is handling the adverse press and paparazzi, he accepts that Riley is a woman who can withstand the pressure they are under. I absolutely love Ashe and just wish I could place an order for one of him, but we all know that however real this book felt, it’s still fiction! I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
