Love doesn’t care about the demons of your past.
With the memories of her past still haunting her, Finley Blake knew returning to L.A. was a terrible idea. In and out to watch her best friend get married, that was the plan. Drinking a bottle of Scotch with a stranger was not. Denying the attraction would be pointless, but she’s not sure any man is worth playing the Hollywood game again.
All … Hollywood game again.
All Liam Crawford wants for his day off is peace and quiet. Instead, he meets a bold, sensual woman at his friend’s wedding, and she turns his world upside down. She’s everything he didn’t know he was looking for, but his career is a trigger she’s not willing to face.
Winning Finley over is all Liam can think about. When they begin receiving creepy, threatening messages, he has to decide if he’s willing to walk through fire for her or if the heat is too much for him to handle.

Liam and Finley are great characters! I loved Finley’s story and her reason behind not liking LA when she meets Liam they are captivated with each other but he’s a rising star all of what Finley wants behind her. Will they stand a chance in light of her views and can Liam get her to see how great they are for each other?

Review with spoilers – I haven’t read the first book)
Nice romance. I loved it.
After a painful childhood and adolescence in LA, Finley left the city when she turned 18. She didn’t want to be in the same place as her mother, who caused her so much harm. She wanted to start over, and she did it in Seattle. There she has a business, friends, and a life that satisfies her. Or so she thought.
When she returns to LA, to Elijah’s wedding, she confesses to her best friend that she hasn’t felt comfortable for a long time. Her club no longer fills her, and she envies her friend Savannah, who has found love, and also Elijan, for the same reason. But she is incapable of approaching anyone. She wants to love and to be loved, but she doesn’t want anyone to break the walls she has created around her heart.
Liam, a friend of Elijah’s, didn’t expect to find the love of his life at his friend’s wedding. It was just one night together, but he wanted so much more, and he went to look for her in Seattle. She didn’t want … She couldn’t be with him. She was afraid of getting close to someone, and Liam was already getting too close. Finding out that he’s an actor doesn’t bring them any closer. It makes her decide that their relationship is impossible. But he doesn’t give up. He asks for an opportunity. He doesn’t want sex, he wants to know her better. If she doesn’t want to know anything more about him, he will go away and leave her. She can’t say no to him. In spite of her fears, she wants to get close to him, she wants to be in a relationship, for the first time in her life.
I liked Finley. She tried to regain control over her life after her mother did nothing but control her and decide for her. She didn’t want to be her, she didn’t want to depend on anyone. But Liam broke down her barriers.
I also liked Liam. He was intrigued by her as soon as he saw her. As he says, it’s not just sex. He wants to know her, to be part of her life, and that she is part of his. It’s not easy, because of his work, because of people’s comments, but he knows it’s worth trying.
I loved Savannah. She tells Finley that falling in love can be scary, but it’s also wonderful. To love, or to depend on someone, doesn’t mean she’s weak. She’s strong, because she recognizes what she feels and doesn’t hide from it.
I liked that Elijah and Abby helped them to be together.
I didn’t like that Liam lied to her, although I understand why he did it.
I recommend it.
I received an ARC from the author, and this is my honest review.
