I absolutely loved this book, I listened to it on Audible. And Arndt is amazingly gifted.
I’, so in love with the Maddy, who recently graduated college and goes to part with friend. While there sha an interesting and hot encounter with gorgeous Micah. He is an up an coming movie star.
Then a few years later, she is hired with a friend for the set of the a movie Micah is filming. As soon as he sees her, he remembers her.
Oh man!!! I also have to say that I love the name of this book, the two man characters and the times I laughed.
I always know the story line line is a definite 5Star for me when it’s by Laurelin Paige. Her attention to details and the HEA, I just would love an Epilogue <3

I love a good second chance romance story and Sex Symbol was the perfect fit for me!
Maddie and Micah meet at a party, right as Maddie was graduating. Micah was an up and coming movie star, but Maddie didn’t have a clue. They had instant chemistry and while shared one hell of a hot moment, the moment was lost because of a drunken girlfriend.
Several years later, Maddie is just not where she dreamed she would be but is doing the best with what she has. Micah, however, is now one of the most famous actors in the world. Once he sees Maddie-from-the-party again, he is instantly drawn to her and all bets are off.
Micah doesn’t believe a relationship in Hollywood can make it and Maddie, the hopeless romantic, doesn’t want to be another notch in the bedpost for this famous star. Can the camera assistant and the jaded movie star make a life together with all of Hollywood breathing down their necks?
My emotions were all over the place with this book. I simply adored Micah and Maddie, however, my heart broke for each of them. Maddie and the troubles she has gone through and Micah for believing that love can’t happen for him. Then there was the banter between Micah and his bodyguard/friend, Fudge? I laughed so hard my kids thought I was crazy. The mistakes that they made had me reaching for that Kleenex box knowing tears would be falling for the love that should have happened so effortlessly and without question. The doubt and fear from both characters in this book was so real, it felt like real life. All of that combined, well, it made for one hell of a book.
I also LOVED the fact there was no epilogue so in my own mind, I can imagine how Maddie and Micah’s story continues.
Absolutely wonderful!
Not quite a second chance romance, but definitely a second chance at something. Maddie and Micah have an instant connection, Micah though is unwilling to start a relationship and therefore won’t take things further, what with him being an up and coming actor and all. However, 7 years later their paths cross again and Wham Bam, the connection is still there. Has Micah matured? I’m thinking not really. Can Maddie get him to see reason and admit his true feelings? Doubtful. Sexy, sweet, and at times a little angsty, I did want to wring their necks during certain parts. An enjoyable audio. Both Micah and Maddie were narrated wonderfully by Andi Arndt.
Loved the story, loved the characters, loved the writing style!
May edge towards 4.5/5 for me. Nice story of a second chance at love. The hero realizes everything he thought he knew about relationships and love was incorrect. Well edited.
Micah and Maddie meet at a party. They connect, but Maddie’s friend needs help, so they reluctantly part ways. The next day, Micah meets with a new agent and decides that he can’t try a relationship if he wants his movie career. So, Micah deletes Maddie’s number and embraces his rise to stardom. Maddie never understands why she didn’t hear from Micah, but she lets go and moves on with her life. Seven years later, Maddie is called in to work on a film in which Micah stars. After some initial awkwardness, they decide to give their relationship a try. Will Micah ever let go of his preconceptions and try a real relationship? Will Maddie trust that Micah really cares for her? What happens if the press finds out?
This was a nice, entertaining story with likable characters. Great way to spend an afternoon. Enjoy!
Wooohoooo what a roller coaster second chance romance… Micah and Maddie met during their younger time…attracted to each other somehow but none of them pursue it… until they meet again…
Micah is a famous Hollywood playboy with all the glory.. relationship is off the book since its not a thing for cassanova to settle down … until he met Maddie again.. a girl who got under his skin.. who challenge him..fun…stubborn…and talented..
Both want a short fling…the romance is off the chart.. Laurelin.. im hot sweaty 😉 the feeling toward each other.. feeling scared until it was said and done.. love it love it… I love what Micah did toward the end… a girl can hope for
Once you get past the title, this is a decent love story–well written and well developed. It avoids the usual poor girl/rich man plot and has two people of talent although Maddie does have more problems than the “sex symbol.”
Quite enjoyable reading, very romantic
Erotic. Good story.
Micah Preston is on his way to becoming a huge star. Maddie is your average girl who just graduated college. They had a moment at a party that got interrupted by her best friend. He gets her phone number, but then make a decision to delete it since he doesn’t want complications on his way to the top.
Fast forward 7 years….. they end up on the same set, after a whole bunch of game playing they decide to give it a shot. Maddie is totally insecure. Micah does not do a whole lot to help her feel more confident in their relationship. Its a typical story of girl loving boy and boy not ready to admit he loves girl. It made me cry like any great book does! And I absolutely loved his grand gesture to win her back. I would say that he is no longer a douche-bag.
This book made me FEEL the emotional roller coaster of their relationship. That will always get a 5 star rating from me.
Well written, realistic characters with baggage that they have to work together to overcome.
i enjoyed the characters and the story. This was a fun romantic story.
A good story that had a good ending.
GREAT BOOK! great story!
Love the author and the book!!!!!
Liked the book, but the ending felt like it was wrapped up in a hurry just to finish the book. Needed to flesh that part out more. Instead of just telling the reader what happened.
Good storyline, enjoyed this book immensely!
I enjoyed it. Sexy read, well written
Loved this book
Seriously, one of my favorite authors, and she does it again. It is a great “years later” story which builds from their initial introduction to how they meet again in the future. It is a good famous person story who falls in love.
