Review
At the same time that I think their relationship moved a little too quickly, you also barely see them romantically together on the page. I would’ve loved to see more development on their feelings, some real, emotional depth shared between the main characters as having more scenes with them together so you could see their relationship grow. This made me disconnect with them and not feeling their emotions. I also think the story dragged a bit in the middle. Overall, not a bad story, it just left some to be desired.
❝ It’s the kind of love that’s so vast and so willing that it can be molded and shaped. It’s a love that can bend. If that’s tragic, wouldn’t you call that tragically beautiful?❞

A PR relationship between a pop superstar and a pro-athlete bad boy turns into so much more in this swoony romance from the acclaimed author of When I Think of You.
Ella Simone’s popstar life is what dreams are made of. Her eight year marriage to renowned music producer, Elliot Majors, has helped garner the hits, awards, and adoring fans to prove it. But when Ella tires of Elliot’s many infidelities, she decides to fight for her independence despite the ironclad prenup that threatens her career.
To help her case, Ella is under strict orders to stick to The no headlines, no rumors, no rocking the boat. But this strategy is thrown a curveball after an awards show wardrobe snafu and quick rescue by Miles Westbrook, MLB’s most eligible player, sends the tabloids into a frenzy. Amid tricky divorce proceedings, Ella’s magnetic connection with the charismatic pitcher might just be her downfall.
Now the pressure is on to turn a scandal into an opportunity and give their teams what they a picture-perfect performance that will shore up both Ella and Miles’ reputations. But as the lines between reality and PR begin to blur, Ella will either stick to the choreographed life she knows so well, or surrender to a love that could set her free.
