Let’s check the plot line together: Emma is young, promising actress who plays at “ Dark Castle”, highly praised TV series. It was still intriguing with lovely plot, easy to read and enjoy your time! It was just a little different and lighter than her previous works. The emotional, heartwarming parts are still there but I couldn’t find so delicious, pant melting chemistry between the characters. There are still some personal heavy burdens characters carry over shoulders. Even though I was expecting hot, smoking, sizzling, sexy, angsty romance but this book’s genre was more like sweet, soft, entertaining rom-com. But then there’s an impromptu nighttime skinny-dip, and Lucian’s luscious homemade tarts and cream cakes start arriving at Emma’s door, tempting her to taste life again… In trying to stay apart, they only grow closer-and their broken pieces just might fit together and make them whole.Īs soon as I see the upcoming work of brilliant romance author Kristen Callihan who can write humorous, tempting sports romance novels ( “Game on series” are my favorites and but she can also write amazing contemporary series about musical industry- I highly recommend her VIP series as well), I wanted to read it ASAP! Despite a growing attraction, they avoid each other.

He’s charming when he wants to be but also secretive and gruff, with protective walls as thick as Emma’s own. Then she meets the owner’s equally gorgeous grandson, ex–hockey player and current recluse Lucian Osmond, and she sees her own pain and yearning reflected in his eyes. She needs a break, and sanctuary comes in the form of Rosemont, a gorgeous estate in California promising rest and relaxation. The cherry on top is finding her boyfriend in bed with another woman. The world knows her as Princess Anya on Dark Castle, but then her character gets the axe-literally. From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Callihan comes a charming, emotional romance about redefining dreams and discovering unlikely love along the way.
