Hollywood Lost

Hollywood Lost

Collins, Ace;

Holiday / Christmas / Nonfiction

Jane is an innocent in 1930s Hollywood, but will she be seduced by the darker side of celebrity It is 1935, Jane Curry is homesick, tired and worn down. She lives in a cheap two-bedroom Hollywood rent house with her parents and six siblings. As the oldest child, the nineteen year old has given up her dreams of college to work in the wardrobe department at Zenith Studios. The job is tough, requires long hours and her boss is a demanding, unhappy person. For Jane the only joy beyond her family is in her faith. A chance meeting with the studio’s biggest star Brent Wilson changes Jane’s world. One of Wilson’s co-stars bets the actor he can’t transform the hick from Oklahoma into a woman who would fit in at a Hollywood party. In a Cinderella story Jane suddenly finds herself the belle of the party at a powerful movie mogul’s home. The next day her innocent world is rocked as newspapers report that she is the playboy Brent Wilson’s latest conquest. Over the next few weeks, in an attempt to make the newspaper stories ring true, Wilson tempts her as only a wealthy, handsome star can. Yet he can’t corrupt Jane. Over time he goes from making fun of her faith to being fascinated by it. He ultimately attends church with Jane, shocking the whole film community. In the end it is his life that is transformed, not hers. “Hollywood Dream” is about the redemption and real values found in a Christian life—values that sustain a person through the toughest times and greatest temptations. It is the tale of a hick girl who has nothing but faith and the huge movie star who can buy anything but happiness. It is a plot right out of some of the great Hollywood films of the 1930s such as Meet John Doe, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town and It Happened One Night. It is also a love story that becomes the vehicle to faith for a faithless man and to hope for a young lady who was truly hopeless.

A Real Live Hero

Kimberly Van Meter

Romance / Holiday / Christmas

Go big, or go home TV producer Delainey Clarke thought she was done with Homer, Alaska. Until a last-ditch attempt to save her career lands her in town, filming a reality-show pilot about expert search-and-rescue tracker Trace Sinclair. Trace is also the man whose heart she broke in half years ago. A man whose kisses are as powerful as the grudge he still holds against her. Delainey can't afford to let Trace's attitude interfere with production--any more than she can resist falling back into his bed. But for how long? Because Delainey isn't trading Hollywood for Homer...not even for Trace.

The Dog Designer Ruffles Some Feathers (Moonchuckle Bay Romantic Comedy #8)

Heather Horrocks

Romance / Holiday / Christmas

Moonchuckle Bay #8 ... Movies ... Monsters ... Magic! SHE WANTS TO GET A FREAKING DATE — NOT DATE A FREAK!| LHe’s the fire chief. She breeds fire-breathing dogs. What could possibly go wrong? When Poppy gets a call from her childhood best friend to come for a visit, she’s thrilled and anxious to see her again. What she doesn’t expect is the feelings she had for her friend’s brother flare up once more. Which is really bad considering the man is engaged and about to be married. Kea finds himself engaged and wonders what happened, but he’s promised. But when Poppy re-enters his life, he remembers how much he liked his sister’s friend — and she’s grown into a beautiful woman. As a newly engaged man, he certainly shouldn’t be feeling this way. Can fire-breathing dogs, meddlesome family, and arson lead to a happily ever after?

I am loving her foray into the paranormal realm with Moonchuckle Bay. I like the idea of a place where paranormal can live in peace, and in the open, while tourists think it is all part of the town's movie productions. In this story, Amber is on the run from a deranged stalker. She follows her brother's last wishes to deliver a letter to his best friend, Samuel. Her brother has asked Samuel to protect her. A job that is not unpleasant for either of them. The romance was sweet, and funny, with a bit of suspense thrown in. Loads of fun! The Artist Cries Wolf was especially appropriate for the day after Halloween. I found myself wishing Moonchuckle Bay was a real town, just for all of the funny gimmicks that they have for the tourists. I will definitely be on the lookout for more books in this series. Content: clean (some kissing, mild violence, smelly trolls) You must read!! And I must re-read! (By Kindle Customer on November 2, 2016) I love Heather Horrocks, and this book is no exception, I like that you can see where its going without it being completely predictable. Such a great story line, I look forward to hearing more about these townsmonsters :) in Moonchuckle Bay. REVIEW OF BAH, HUMBUG (Christmas Street Romantic Comedy Christmas Novella #1): “This isn't a book; it’s magic. What could be a sappy Christmas story turns into a wonderful, magical, bring-the-family-together Christmas story. I wasn't merely reading Lexi and Kyle's story, I was there with them, being part of their story. I came up for breath only when I was done with the book (I read it at one sitting).
