A Very Simple Easy Read – Hollywood Stud Zayn Returns Home To Claim The Girl He Loved To Torture Growing Up!
Big-hearted Madison Montgomery is an open book. With her thick, wavy, dark brown hair, curvy figure, and flawless pale skin, she easily passes for a Hollywood beauty. Yet she has lived in Marble Creek, Georgia her entire life, and to this day, in her mid-twenties, she still lives with her mother in the house in which she grew up.
Madison hasn’t had it easy despite her positive attitude. Her father left when she became a teen, so trust became an issue early on. And just as she graduated college and had her future waiting for her, her mother suffered a stroke that kept Madison at home. But she was resourceful. To support her mother and herself, she took out a loan and converted their large southern home into a guest house and opened it up for business. Her future in her small town even showed promise until her engagement was broken three months earlier by her cheating fiance. Now she is an easy target for small town gossip.
Fortunately, neighbor and best friend since kindergarten Jenna Hamilton is a constant in Madison’s life. Although Jenna moved out of her mother’s home and is set to marry Sam in a week, Madison knows Jenna will always be part of her life.
Hollywood stud Zayn Hamilton, late twenties, likes to keep busy. He has accomplished all the major goals he set for himself when he set off for L.A. (shy of his first Oscar). Life is great … until he slows down and it becomes painfully obvious that something is wrong. He has been too busy for a long time to figure out what is missing. For nearly three years his hectic schedule has allowed him avoid facing what ails him. But his sister Jenna finally set a date to marry her high school sweetheart Sam, and the break in his schedule forces him to come to terms: he is lonely despite the fact that he is never alone. He is surrounded by fakes and everyone wants a piece of him. And there is only one woman who has never treated him like a celebrity or made him doubt her motives.
When Zayn returns home, he is a man on a mission and he fully intends to help his little sister’s best friend recognize that all their feuding has been fueled by love. Nothing heats him up more than seeing an angry Madison, and he is uniquely capable of throwing the otherwise sweet Southern woman off kilter. But Madison’s fears of abandonment are a real obstacle to the couple’s happiness, and Zayn must work hard toward addressing her needs. The heat is on when this couple finally comes together! Zayn’s confidence is charming, and it is great to see Madison find happiness. Their history provides an instant and deeply-felt connection. They deserve their HEA!
Two arguments take place later in the book that feel out of place; one among relatives and another between the couple. These arguments feel out of character and awkward, which puts a damper on the flow of the story.
This book is a very quick and easy read. The advance copy has some proofing issues that may be absent in the released edition. The plot is very simple. The characters are defined but without great depth due to the length. I rate this book 3.5 stars.

Star Attraction is a small town romance about Madison and Zayn childhood friends who have had crushes on each other for years but never told the other. When they meet up at his sister’s wedding and their chemistry and attraction are still there.

Ava Grace has another great love story. Madison, Jenna and Jenna’s brother Zayn all grew up as neighbors from grade school. Madison & Jenna went away to college and came home to live. Zayn went to Holliwood and became a big name star. Jenna is getting married and Zayn is coming home. Madison and Zayn have always been infatuated with each other, but kept it to themselves. Zayn always teased and tormented Madison just to get her attention. Madison was upset with Zayn because of the way he treated her. Zayn was determined to make Madison see how he felt about her was not sure how to go about it. This was probably the best part of the book, seeing what Zayn would go through next until he could make Madison see how he felt and to admit to herself how she really felt, until she could admit to him how she felt. Read the book to see if they can be together.

A great way to spend a lazy afternoon
Madison, a bed & breakfast owner, has known Zayne, Hollywood heartthrob, since they were kids. As the story progresses their dynamic changes, old fears get in the way, and finding a future together will take a leap of faith for both of them. Ava Grace’s Star Attraction contains, sassy female characters, strong male characters, and plenty of charm. I would love to read more about Jenna and Sam as well as seeing if Britney could find someone.
I received a free copy of the book from the author via Booksprout. I had the opportunity to review or not.
An amazing enemies-to-lovers romance that is beautifully written, well-developed, and entertaining with drama, witty banter, humour, twists, and ups and downs. The characters are complex and well developed with the chemistry between them intense and undeniable. Highly recommended.

It’s a short story great for bedtime reading, when these two childhood acquaintances since Zayne always picked and teased Madison, his little sister’s best friend since kindergarten. Both Maddie and Zayne started to secretly fall for the other but with his teasing she never let it be known not even to her bestie, his sister Jenna. Zayne is back I. Their hometown for a week from L.A. but what he plans to do That week is not to relax but to get the o ly women he has ever loved and wanted for over a decade.
Madison just has to get through her best friend, Jenna’s, wedding. You see, Madison has been crushing on Jenna’s older brother, Zayn, for as long as she can remember. If they can stay on opposite ends of the room at all times all should be well. Zayn arrives and has other thoughts and plans. He is a movie star and although the glitz, glamour and fame are good, he finds no one is real with him but just agrees with him. Madison doesn’t take his crap and disagrees with him on anything and everything, he finds himself looking forward to these exchanges. Being neighbors growing up and having known each other all these years, does it make getting involved harder or easier? Of course the bigger question, the risk if it doesn’t work out? This was a really good story and fun read.

A brilliant flawless read…This was such a funny, sad, warm & fuzzy story that just made me feel great. I literally laughed out loud at the witty banter, my toes curled when they got their sexy on & revealed that they had loved each other for the longest time. So delighted they could make it work for their happy ever after. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
Madison had always a crush for Zayn, her best friend’s brother, but he just wanted to tease her.
The years went by. At 15, Mad found herself completely in love with Zayn, but he, two years older than her, was in another vibe. And as he got older, Zayn’s focus was on becoming a Hollywood star.
He moved from Marble Creek, GA, to LA to reach his dreams.
But now, Jenna was about to marry Sam, and her older brother would attend.
For Madison, Zayn would be a guest, and nothing more.
However, his plans were different…
Zayn had already achieved fame that made him known as one of Hollywood’s most admired bachelors. Each week he was seen in the magazines with a beautiful woman. He had already won some awards, but the long-awaited Oscar had not yet succeeded.
Returning to his town for his little sister’s wedding, Zayn began to wonder about his life… and how lonely he was.
Meeting Madison caused old feelings to surface.
He loved to tease her in the past, but that behavior actually hid his enormous attraction to her.
Now was his time to try to woo her.
Madison was strong, determined, responsible, and would not be fooled by his million dollar smile.
How could he reach her heart?
5 stars
I really enjoyed this small town romance with a fairy tale feel. This shorter length read delivers plenty of feels as the story unfolds. Madison & Zayn made such a great pair. I thought that their intense chemistry and rich, shared history created a very solid and believable base for the romance to build on. Sweetness, humor and long hidden emotions make for a heartfelt and very fun read.
The Bickersons
Madison Montgomery and Zayn Hamilton have liked each other since they were kids. But he never asked her out or told her he liked her. Nope. He just teased her mercilessly and they got stuck in a hate you but I really like you mode for twenty years.
Zayn is back in town for his sister’s wedding and finally realizes he’s lonely and it’s time to get serious about Madison.
I liked that she made him work for it.
A great read. Fun, family and steamy.
