With his knack for bad luck, Liam isn’t surprised when he’s awarded house arrest after protecting a fan at his last show. What he didn’t expect was the girl of his dreams showing up with his lunch delivery and turning his confinement into an unexpected friendship. Despite his many love songs, he’s not big on relationships, but something about Kasey has him questioning his commitment to the single life. It doesn’t hurt that she keeps inspiring new songs.

Kasey isn’t a fan of the wealthy and famous, and Liam embodies both. But he’s also friends with A-lister Derek Riley, a Hollywood heavyweight who could open doors for her screenplays. Connections have burned her before, so striking up a friendship with Liam seems futile even though Liam keeps defying all her expectations, making her believe something good could happen in her life for once. But the last time she trusted someone, she ended up with more than a broken heart.

When a tabloid photo threatens Kasey’s coveted anonymity, Liam seizes the opportunity to invite her to hide out in his house. The problem? He has no clue if she’s staying for him or for his connections. But as their relationship deepens, he realizes he’s fallen too far to let her go. She has changed his whole world, and he just has to hope she’ll let him change hers in return.

Book Review:

What an absolute joy to read! I always love Dana’s books and this one was no exception! Though the start of a new series, Starstruck, there are still connections to her previous series. I was so excited to read Liam’s book and to start reading about these lovely characters.

Liam was a sweetheart! He was such a genuine person and so sweet with Kasey. I loved his earnestness and the way he was able to open up with Kasey. He was able to settle with her. I loved seeing Kasey’s growth over the book. She was drawn to Liam, but was trying to be realistic. She found support in Liam and his friends that allowed her to explore her dreams. Their romance didn’t feel rushed and it was very endearing. I loved how they supported each other’s artistic endeavors. They were learning how to trust one another as well as to grow as a person.

I loved seeing him with his friends too! They were all so engaging and I am excited to see more of them. I can’t wait to read more. Even as a first book, it felt balanced with not too much set-up, yet enough introduction to increase excitement for the rest of the series! The story moved along pretty quickly, but it might just have been how quickly I read it! I was invested in the light mystery elements and the sweet romance! This is a contemporary romcom with only kissing and some innuendos.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, I was not required to write a positive review.
