When Gabe Parker is cast as the next Bond, the public isn't happy. Chani, a journalist assigned puff pieces her whole career, is hired to write a profile on him. Gabe has been her celebrity crush, but she knows this could make her career. Given unprecedented access, she visits his home and they immediately hit it off, kicking off a weekend of friendship and parties. Her article is a smashing success, launching her career, but everyone still asks if she slept with him, even as she denies it. Female journalists always do it to get the story, right? Chani had hoped there might be something there between them, but it must have been just his acting charm, since he ran to Vegas to marry his costar shortly after. Now, ten years later, Gabe's staff want to recreate that weekend and have her write another article. Ten years seems a lifetime, yet no time at all, as all those feelings come flooding back. Can she trust that he feels the same, or is he really that good of an actor?
This book is written in alternating chapters between the past and present, with some articles and interviews in between. I could see Gabe's struggle with his addiction in the beginning, but his down-to-earth boy-next-door personality was surprising, especially to Chani. She was young, naive, and honestly a bit dim witted in the beginning, but after ten years and a divorce, she's jaded and not so easily won over by Gabe's charm. In glad the two finally found their HEA.
I received an advance reader copy of this book. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.
