About STARS IN THEIR EYES:

WARNING: The hero in this book is not an asshole. He is hot, charming, smart, funny, ripped, gorgeous, respectful and completely panty-melting. Please proceed.

A sexy and swoony new adult romance…

Celebrity photographer and college senior Jess Leighton desperately needs to crash the wedding of the year. Snapping just one pic of the A-list Hollywood couple tying the knot will pay her way through grad school. But with security tighter than the bride-to-be’s corset, she’ll need more than her camera and smarts, she’ll need help from her biggest rival–hot, British, motorcycle-riding William Harrigan, whose sexy accent can melt the panties off any woman. He’s the last person Jess should trust, but he’s her only ticket in.

William Harrigan wants one thing – to stay in L.A. past college graduation. With a student visa set to expire, the clock is ticking. When he lands a gig that pairs him with the beautiful blond spitfire Jess, he’s scored his best shot at living out the American dream. Winning her trust would be a whole lot easier, however, if he didn’t have ulterior motives…

But there’s no faking the intense attraction between them. Try as they might to resist each other, soon sparks are flying, as they devise a plan to sneak into the ceremony. But when Jess’ new celebrity client raises the stakes, she starts to smell blackmail, and soon she and Will are chasing down cheating directors, staking out clandestine trysts, and making fake IDs, all while sneaking scene-stealing kisses and hot nights together.

The audience loves a happy ending, but in a town where everyone’s acting and no one’s playing by the rules, can Jess and William find their own ever after in time?

**Stars in Their Eyes is the start of the sexy, swoony and scandalous new adult series Wrapped Up in Love, which is a spin-off of the NYT and USA Today Bestselling Caught Up in Love series. You don’t need to have read Caught Up in Love to follow this new series, but you’ll likely enjoy those books!**

Tracey’s Review

Los Angeles. Land of sun, fun, and stars. There are celebrities everywhee you look, and Jess Leighton can’t get enough of them. As a member of the paparrazi, she’s always angling to be the first on the scene, getting the pictures of the rich and famous that everyone wants to see.

William Harrigan may have been born in the UK, but there’s nowhere he’d rather be than in sunny L.A. Unfortunately for him, time’s running out, and his time in the Golden State may soon be at an end.

Jess will do whatever it takes to be the top celebrity photographer. After all, med school isn’t cheap, and good pictures pay well. When William shows up working for Jess’ boss, she figures that it’s always better to keep prospective enemies close, and begins spending time with him.

Firstly, William. Oh, my goodness, Hot British Guy. Swoon-worthy doesn’t even begin to cover it. He’s the brother of Matthew Harrigan, first introduced to us as Jane Black’s love interest in FAR TOO TEMPTING. Well, like Matthew before him, William is sex on a stick. The man is British, for goodness’ sake, and he speaks five languages. Let me tell you, if I get a Hot British Guy speaking sexy Italian to me while in the throes of passion, game over. And Jess, against her better judgment, begins to feel exactly the same way. Matthew is not only sexy, he’s nice. And snarky and smart, and just fun to be around. For a woman as controlled as Jess is, he’s just what she needs to let loose a bit, and feel free to be herself.

I really admire that Lauren addresses important topics in this book. In a place like L.A., where appearance is everything and looks make or break the person, dealing with personal demons that hinge on control is so timely. And trying to guess which celebrities Lauren is sending up makes for some fun guesswork while reading.

STARS IN OUR EYES joins the ranks of favorites, but it’s sort of like picking a favorite child. This one shines, but you really have to read all of Lauren’s books to see just how special they all are. Five swoony, sexy, romantic stars.
