This is the second book in the Hollywood Hearts series. At the end of book one Chaz gets a frantic text from his best friend Quinn saying he has been left to care for a baby. Red Carpet Romance  opens with the nanny Quinn hires arrives.Susanna is the perfect nanny for Quinn; she is confident and has been around celebrities before, so Quinn status as an actor does not faze her.  She walks through the door and Quinn is immediately taken with Susanna, and so is Junior the baby boy in Quinn’s care.  Sparks fly, however Susanna is cautious as she does not want her heart to get broken when Junior’s mother returns, and just a temporary fling for Quinn while Junior’s mother is away. Quinn realizes Susanna is different from other women he has dated and wonders if she is the first one who can actually see past his celebrity and see the man.I really enjoyed Quinn  - he was a quirky character with a lot of charm in the first book of this series, and I grew to like him more in his own book.  He is a true friend and a caring person. He desperately wants to have a lasting acting career and is working to make that happen. I will say sometimes I thought he was absolutely clueless, and there were times I wanted to hit him when he reacted before thinking.  Susanna has recently suffered a loss and is cautious, but very trusting.  Her immediate love for Junior is touching, and helps show the nurturing qualities of her character.  Towards the end of the book she made a decision I wanted to stand up and applaud, it was one I rarely seen played out in contemporary romance.  This book has a few surprises and a heart wrenching conflict.  It is a perfect easy read while on vacation or traveling.  Even though this book is the second in a series I would be a perfect stand-alone book, characters from book 1 are mentioned but their significance and background are easily explained.I received this book from the author for my honest review.
