CELEB CRUSH edition by Nicole Christie Contemporary Romance eBooks

I have been lost in the tsunami of stepbrother romances that are flooding the market at the moment. Which is kind of ironic, because Nicole Christie wrote one of the best in that genre, long before it was particularly popular. Her debut novel, "Falling for the Ghost of You", was a fantastic read - engaging, sexy and laugh-out-loud funny - and I was in love with her characters and writing. Then along came her follow-up novel and my admiration came to a screeching halt. I really didn't like "Slow Burn". In fact, I was probably its harshest critic, noting that I hoped Ms Christie would go away and regroup before writing her next novel.

Well, she regrouped alright. She's probably still out there somewhere holding her middle finger up to my review of her previous novel, because this one is redemption in spades.

I loved this story. I started it in the evening and was still reading at 1am - and I'm not a slow reader. At 300+ pages, this is one substantial novel that really delivers. It's witty, credible and home to a host of characters who are believable and (for the most part) very likeable. You don't just get a hot hero and feisty heroine in this tale, you get a very well-rounded, ensemble cast who really help to flesh out the story. Anything written about the celebrity lifestyle can risk being over-the-top and too incredible, but Ms Christie is either a brilliant researcher or more than a little familiar with the reality of being an A-Grade actor. And the sexual tension - oh, my... In keeping with this author's style to date, it takes a while to get to the real action and it's not especially graphic when it gets there, but the build-up along the way is very steady and very satisfying.

While the introductory pages were slightly confusing - I couldn't quite work out who everyone was - it quickly became clear and I didn't want this one to end. I wanted to stay in Luke and Andi's world and keep crushing on the hero, too (I had a Hemsworth brother in mind, the whole time ;) ). Very well done, Ms Christie. I am eagerly awaiting your next one!

CELEB CRUSH edition by Nicole Christie Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

This story starts out with a Hollywood hunk needing an extra minder. That's right another minder. One whom he actually will listen too. She just happened to meet up with him after catching her cousin in bed with her fiancee. So starts a two year contract including NDA written all over it. But when she lies to her family about her love life that's when the story takes a turn. He is willing to act as her boyfriend. But what cost and who will get hurt? This was the second time I read this story. Will look into other books by this author.
I love Nicole Christie's writing. It is first and foremost FUNNY and WITTY. She has such a unique way of making her characters say and do things that you've never heard or seen before, but it works and it's memorable. I loved Juliet from Slow Burn. I liked Andi in Celeb Crush. My only problem with Andi is that for someone who is (supposedly) tough and doesn't give a damn, she is so easily manipulated.

Spoilers???

Megan and Bran, Kate, Jessica, Nate, LUKE...everyone (some for better, others for worse) plays her; they get her to do things she claims she doesn't want to do yet you're scratching your head wondering things like, "WHY is she having dinner with the chick that tried to ruin her relationship?!" There were too many personality and behavior contradictions that prevented this book from being 5 stars. Another example (and this one almost made me quit reading) Luke professes his interest, his feelings for Andi, and when they don't seem reciprocated, he sleeps with someone else?! I hate it when the h or H does this in books! Hate it so much.

However, despite all my complaints, I couldn't stop reading. I laughed A LOT. I just wish Andi was as tough and smart as she claimed she was. Other than that, still love Nicole Christie. Oh and if the author is somehow reading this, could you PLEASE write more memorable first intimate scenes? Not all intimate scenes have to be great, but at least the first time? Slow Burn lacked this and so did Celeb Crush. And I am not talking about smut - just sexier intimate scenes.
Take Tarryn Fisher's usual cold-hearted heroines but take away the underlying dark/depressed/tortured undertones and replace it with spunk and you get Andi. She is full of anger, hate possibly a little bit crazy and in need of therapy but she owned it. She was full of spunk and anything that came out of her mind and mouth were incredibly hilarious.

This was so entertaining - not very realistic but then stories involving big Hollywood celebrities tend to lean on fairy-tale-ish as opposed to realism, right?

My only complaints (albeit minor) were
1. I would have wanted a little more emotional vulnerability from Andi. Empathy (especially on the painful part of the plot) wasn't that strong given that my emotional connection to Andi wasn't so strong. She amused me but I didn't really strongly feel for her and this is because as she herself said "she has a pathologically thick skin"
2. I would have wanted Luke's character to be more fleshed out. He had personality but she completely eclipsed him.
