Publisher's summary

New York is where dreams come true. Or at least that's what I've been told.

Despite my love of planning, my dream of working on Broadway and meeting my Hollywood superstar crush seem to be running into more brick walls than necessary. Still, I could never have anticipated my crush on Hunter Stone was just one Ambien trip from an unexpected reality.

Now, I find myself lost in his charms and in love with his passion for acting. Beyond his good looks and brooding reputation is a man who sends my heart racing and leaves me wondering if fictional boyfriends are real.

***

Passion and drive have made all of my acting dreams a reality. All I've worked for is at my fingertips, but I can't seem to settle. In my life or on my future.

Meeting Celeste Pumper…Pumper-Something was never part of my plan. Her own passion for the stage has reminded me of a life beyond the big screen and celebrity. Holding her in my arms and staring into her eyes should frighten me but instead I feel more solace than my lifestyle normally allows.

Our paths didn't cross by happenstance. It was always meant to be. Sometimes truth is better than fiction and our story is better than the book.

An inspiring romance from my fav duo

Another great romance in this series. These two authors writing together is pure gold. In Better Than The Book Celeste is a huge Hunter Stone fan. She has been trying to go to the convention every year to meet him and every time something happens. Finally she makes it, with plenty of things still trying to get in her way. Hunter and her meet and it's totally what convention fans fantasize about. Soon they learn they have the love of theater in common. Cut to them spending real time together. This romance was so much fun to listen to. These narrators really made me think they were Celeste and Hunter! This is a romance about living up to who you are and not who people want you to be. It's a story to follow your heart. And sometimes you need a partner to push you along the way. Again, another great book by my favorite writing duo!
