This is an introduction to Alex who is divorced and a single mom, who is out celebrating when they meet two Hollywood actors, Colton & Matt. This is a raw, gritty, and intriguing story which I cannot wait to read more.
I haven’t read this series but this book introduces the readers to Alex, a divorced, single mom to 6 year-old Mason. A year after her divorce she is out celebrating with two girlfriends when they happen to be in the same place as two Hollywood actors, Colton & Matt. Drinks are flowing, one thing leads to another & Alex is suddenly now part of the Hollywood/LA scene. After being in a car accident she realizes who her friends really are & the book ends with Alex on the road to recovery from her accident.
This short intro was good, introduced us to the main character & her friends, and provided enough background information. No longer able to trust some people, they are now out of her life & replaced by new people who have been there for her. Looking forward to reading the continuation of Alex finding her happy ever after!
Bittersweet start to the series
That was one of the most bittersweet stories I have ever read. Double heartbreak and some hope for the better luck in relationship department for Alex. But not always everything goes as we would like to and that is what really moved me and why I liked this story so much. The honesty, the truth, the raw story, unexpected and hard to predict events, the pain of the heroine which was almost palpable. Very well written and nicely paced. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next part and see what life has in store for Alex.
What an fantastic read! Real, honest, flawed characters…you want to know. Loved this intro into the Fairlane series.
A really quick read. I would definitely read the next book to see what happens with Alex.
A lovely little prequel
So this book is about Alex before she meets Luke. I have to say I’m not normally a prequel fan, but this one was sweet and I liked it. It gives you a bit of insight into Alex’s struggles and bad relationships. I look forward to reading Hollywood redemption next!
This is the beginning of the storyline for Alex. This is where you meet her and somewhat get to know her and who she is. She find out what is going on with her and what she has already been through. This one is about her trying to move on with a guy that she meets Matt. But Matt is not at all what she expects and sadly she has to find out the hard way. It was a fast paced short story. Beginning of Alex that got you gripped wanting to know more about her.
What a fantastic novella. This was a great start to what is sure to be a brilliant story. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Even though it was a novella it had plenty packed in but also flowed brilliantly. I can’t wait to read the next one.
What a way to start a series. Definitely didn’t expect it, and look forward to seeing what happens next.
This was a cute fast paced intro to some of the characters that we will meet in this authors full length book. It had its own twists and turns also a lot of things that are open to possibly. I’m interested to see where the book is going to go. I love normal women meet Hollywood actor and Love ensures so I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen. 4 stars #2OCCJD
