If you want a romance novel with main characters in their late 30s/ 40s, this fits the bill! Our story begins with 39-year-old screenwriter, mom of two, and divorcé Nora Hamilton, whose life is interrupted when a film crew descended on her home to film the movie she wrote about the end of her marriage. Enter Leo Vance famous actor and heartthrob. When the filming ends, Leo wants to stay in suburbia, so while stealing Nora’s booze, he offers to pay her to let him stay. Read the book to find out more… 

While I loved the first half of this book, the third-act break-up just made no sense to me. l spent the last 25% of the book waiting for someone to grow up and say how they feel. It took away from my enjoyment in the book’s earlier parts. Overall I enjoyed this quick read and it was a cute fantasy of normal mom meets Hollywood star. Perhaps it reminded me of Bodyguard by Katherine Center.
