Charlie Rockwell’s divorce from her rock star ex left her with a broken heart, a mansion on the bluffs in her hometown of Blue Moon Bay, and an empty back account. Now, Charlie has to generate enough income to keep the house she loves.
When producers of the soap opera, Just One Love, offer to rent Charlie’s house for a sizable fee, Charlie’s tempted. Only she wants nothing to do with the … the spotlight or dating someone famous again, and the show’s sexy star, Luke Montgomery, has her in his sights. Reluctantly, Charlie agrees to rent her home and vows to stay out of Luke’s way.
Unexpectedly, as filming progresses, Charlie witnesses Luke’s sweet side. She also remembers her college theater days and love of acting. During an on-set emergency, she’s asked to stand-in during a scene, and her undeniable chemistry with Luke impresses the producers enough that they want Charlie full-time.
Can Charlie finally have the career she’s dreamed about? And will Luke break her heart, or will he be everything he seems and what she always wanted?

Charlie abandoned her dreams to help her husband realize his. Make that her ex-husband. He’s a famous rock star; she has a broken heart, a mansion in Blue Moon Bay that she can’t afford, and no money. Her home is leased to be the set of a soap opera, and she meets her TV-star crush, Luke, and has a chance to be in a scene with him. Their onscreen chemistry is amazing, and she gets a bigger role. Their off-screen chemistry is even more amazing. She’s not sure about getting involved with someone so famous, after what she went through before… When she’s offered a huge role in a film in LA, she has to decide whether she wants to follow her acting dream, or stay with Luke. This is another hit book from Ms. Hatler. Charlie and Luke belong together, if they can get past their histories.It was a very enjoyable read, and a chance for me to read an earlier book in this series.

Charlie Rockwell gave up her own dreams for her rock star ex. Catching him cheating, Charlie’s divorce left her with a broken heart, no money, and a mansion she can’t afford in her hometown of Blue Moon Bay where she has isolated herself. But when the producers of the soap opera, “Just One Love”, make an offer to rent Charlie’s mansion for a month, it gives her an honest way to get the money she needs. Charlie has always had a crush on the actor, Luke Montgomery. But she has had enough of stars, so she tries to stay out of Luke’s path!
When she is asked to be a stand-in during a scene with Luke, their sizzling chemistry together is obvious enough to the producers for them to offer Charlie a job. Can Charlie finally have an opportunity for the career she had once wanted as an actress? Will she give Luke a chance to show that he is the wonderful, trustworthy man he seems and not another jerk like her ex? Is there a HEA for both of them?
This was a very good, emotional story with likable and realistic characters. The story line was engaging and the reader could feel for Charlie and how she was struggling to get over the pain of her betrayal. Grab your copy and see whether these two can find a future together.
This is the third book in the Loved by the Bay series. I thought this book was instresting and easy to read. I liked the characters. They are enjoyable to read about. Its an easy to read story. I thought its a well written and a good storyline.
I read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are of my own.
The first half of the book I was so angry for the way Charlie was treated by the public, the tabliods and her rockstar ex-husband. How can people be so callous?? If it weren’t for Charlie’s sister, Claire and her small group of friends I would have gone nuts. To draw out that kind of emotion in a reader goes to show you how good the writing is. Anyway, as things started to become brighter for Charlie, the drama was still intense and well as her interest in actor Luke Montgomery who is nothing short of perfect. This is a really good ‘down in the dumps’ to ‘on the top of the pile’ kind of story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Second chance to find love. Yeah! I loved Charlie. She got a raw deal from her ex-husband. They were high-school sweethearts, then married, and she worked to help him advance his career as a rock star. But then his ego got in the way and he ignored her needs and continually cheated on her. Now after a bitter divorce, she has spent the past year hiding in her home town, broke, with no career. But her dreams of becoming an actress might be resurrected. She rents her home so a soap opera show can film there, and unexpectedly gets a bit part working with her secret crush, actor Luke. When she gets an expanded role the leading lady is jealous. Now she has a budding romance with Luke, her ex keeps trying to get her back, and the paparazzi won’t leave her alone. But can she trust Luke? He is famous just like her ex-husband. She is afraid to lose herself in love again and neglect her chance at a career in acting. This story was sweet and so funny. They town’s people were wonderful secondary and third characters. Her friends and sister truly support her and have been trying to get her to get on with life. Maybe she now has a chance.

OnceI started I couldn’t put it down
Love all of Susan Hatler’s books. They are everything you want from a romantic comedy without all the typical (unimaginative) swearing and blasphemy. I haven’t read any of her books that I didn’t love, will definitely recommend them all!
Everyone has their own set of problems. Even famous people. I had fun seeing how Charlie gets out of her depression and finds opportunity to open new doors. Sweet fun read.
I enjoyed this book. I like the author’s writing style and will continue reading her books.
Just love reading fun, energetic books with a happy ever after ending.
