Review: HEA with a twist
Rating: 4 out of 5

The premise for Away From The Spotlight is one that is every teen age girls fantasy, handsome movie start falls for normal girl.  The characters of the book are well described and the plot has its emotional ups and downs.I liked Will he is a extremely kind and caring man and he wants to do everything in his power to treat Shannon as a queen, Shannon is a brilliant girl a lawyer and the two of them have what amounts to true love at first sight.This book reads as more of a narrative, told from Shannon's point of view, I feel that in some ways limits the your ability to emotionally connect with the characters. Away From The Spotlight is also 420 pages long, I felt some of situations were drawn out and this book could have been 2/3rds the size it is.The plot twist towards the end is a huge emotional punch and the chapters that follow really could have been left out and just gone right to the big ending.I loved the depth of love for each other the characters expressed and I cried at a couple points during the book but it could have been so much more if it wasn't in first person narrative (but then that is just my opinion)If you are looking for a sweet romance with a happy ever after with a twist then this book fits the bill.I received this book as part of a promotional tour by the author in exchange for my honest opinion.
