This book went right to the top of my “anxiously awaited” TBR list as soon as I heard about it- after falling in love with Hudson and Laynie in Ms. Paige’s Fixed series, could Micah possibly live up to the expectations?  The answer is yes. The story starts off with a bang that sucked me in and didn't let go until the last page. When Micah and Maddie meet for the first time, he is still an unknown actor and she has just graduated film school. Their hot and heavy encounter is broken up by her very drunk best friend Bree. They exchange first names and she gives him her number, but the very next day he signs with the agent that launches his career and advises him against long term attachment to any woman. Micah deletes her phone number from his contacts and focuses on building his career.Fast forward 7 years- Maddie is now a camera operator working on a major film crew and Micah is the somewhat jaded superstar who has come to expect all women to just use him in one way or another. When their paths cross, both remember the other from that night so many years ago but neither admits it at first. Too bad neither one can stop thinking about the other one either.Maddie has a tendency to get stuck in her own head when it comes to Micah and I wanted to nudge her to stop the endless loop of the "should I or shouldn't I" broken record.  Fortunately Bree steps in to be her voice of reason and provides the nudge that she desperately needs.  Micah on the other hand can't figure out why he is so stuck on this one girl- other than the fact that she is one person who wanted him in that brief moment in time before he became a household name.  His bodyguard/ best friend Fudge finds it all very amusing but becomes a great sounding board and ally for Maddie as well.  (On a side note, I love the story behind that nickname!)For all his 'experience', Micah has no clue how to go about having a normal relationship and alternates between pushing Maddie away and trying to figure out how to keep things together. He has moments of unbearable sweetness along the way as well, and although they are very different characters, much like Hudson he reminds me of a lost little boy at times.Micah can be a complete jerk at times, but the man has game when it comes to romantic gestures and he can definitely make a statement when the moment calls for it!  Overall this was a very enjoyable read that I devoured in just a few hours.  Ms. Paige has earned herself a spot on my auto-buy list!
