Evie Abbey lives in Hollywood and is enjoying success as an
agent for 5 star celebrities. She works at P&D for Brad
Kingman, who is head of Features. He is a difficult boss.
Condescending, sexist, holds grudges and not an easy person
to admire. It is Friday after a long, hard week and Evie is
headed to a Halloween Party given by friends, Steph and
Michael Christopher. Her BFF Daryl was supposed to attend
the party with her but backed out at the last minute. Evie
attends as Hermione, a Harry Potter character. At the bar,
Evie meets Carter, whose costume is Harry Potter and they
laugh but agree it
is no coincidence. This is a set up by the host and
hostess. They have much in common. Carter is also an agent
recently moving from New York where he worked at Creative
Talented Media (CTM), a competing talent agency. Their
chemistry is explosive. Carter asks Evie to call him and
Evie wonders how they could ever have time for a
relationship when they both work 24/7.
Surprise, Surprise when they are told their companies,
Price & Dickle and CTM are merging. Carter is offered a
position in Features by his new boss, Brad Kingman. Brad
tells him, however, P&D may not be able to renew both his
and Evie's contract in LA. The fight is on for that slot
and the race begins with no holds barred. After much back
stabbing, dirty tricks, and a breakdown in their affection,
they decide to band together what discoveries they find.
The finale steals my heart.
My favorite author(s) Christina Lauren never disappoints. I
always fall in love with the lead male character and Carter
is no exception. His sense of humor is pure delight and he
is HOT! Hot!! Hot!!! The delicious plot is sometimes
sweet, sometimes sexy, a true look at life, and careers in
La La Land. Brother Jonah is fun and so is MC and Steph
Christopher and their sweet, toddler daughter, Morgan, who
MC claimed "has more social like than we do."
It is easy to hate Brad...he is a bad dude. Evie and Carter
are delicious together and a romantic comedy that is easy to
read and easier to love.
Everyone knows that all’s fair in love and war. But these
two will learn that sabotage is a dish best served naked.
The first standalone romance by New York Times and #1
international bestselling author Christina Lauren
(Beautiful Bastard) is a sexy, compulsively readable
romantic comedy that dives headlong into the thrill and
doubt of modern love.
Despite the odds against them from an embarrassing
meet-awkward at a mutual friend’s Halloween party, Carter
and Evie immediately hit it off. Even the realization that
they’re both high-powered agents at competing firms in
Hollywood isn’t enough to squash the fire.
But when their two agencies merge—causing the pair to vie
for the same position—all bets are off. What could have been
a beautiful, blossoming romance turns into an all-out war of
sabotage. Carter and Evie are both thirtysomething
professionals—so why can’t they act like it?
Can Carter stop trying to please everyone and see how their
mutual boss is really playing the game? Can Evie put
aside her competitive nature long enough to figure out what
she really wants in life? Can their actor clients just be
something close to human? Whether these two Hollywood
love/hatebirds get the storybook Hollywood ending, or just a
dramedy of epic proportions, you get to enjoy Christina
Lauren’s heartfelt, hilarious story of romance in the modern
world.
