ABOUT THE BOOK

Blurb:

Failing to make it as an actress, Aria Dunne is back in her hometown of Napier, working as a location scout. No more unattainable dreams, just casual clothing and low expectations. Until she finds a Turkish TV star hiding out in the historic hotel she needs for her client.

Cem Erkam is desperate for good publicity after a drunken night ends with compromising photos. With his family banking on his success, he hatches a wild plan – a fake relationship with the New Zealand woman who looks like his old co-star. He just needs to keep his hands off her since they have no future. That’s what everyone’s saying, and they’re right. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to stick to the script.

Swept into Istanbul’s glitz and glamour, Aria is forced to re-evaluate her sensible life plan. Should she give her acting dream one more go? And what is she supposed to do with the Turkish heartthrob and the most unattainable dream of all?

MY REVIEW

I haven’t read any books that take place in Turkey and Napier. I really loved reading about those places and it made me interested in learning more about these places. I also really liked the fact that the author added in Turkish words in the beginning of the book!

I also really loved the premise. This book has everything you’re looking for in a romance book! From fake dating to fun witty banter, romance, celebrity, tension, chemistry, and a little bit of spice!

I really enjoyed how each of the characters learned things about themselves from the other. We had two actors, one who made it and one who didn’t. He sort of wishes he had more privacy, and she really wanted the fame. But the grass isn’t always greener on the other side!

If you’re interested in the book, you can find it here.
