This is the story of Annabelle MacIntosh and her rise to fame.  It tells of her trials and tribulations as she enters a reality show in the same vein as X-Factor. It also tells of her relationship with Miles Oliver, one of the judges and the man she's had a long distance crush on ever since she started watching "Do You Have What it Takes".  Miles sees her talent immediately but her nervous manner reminds him of his wife, who used drugs to overcome her nerves with fatal results six years ago. Since then his personal life has been non-existent.Meeting Annabelle changes all that and the development of their relationship, the impact of her insecurities and financial stress, and his fears and guilt left from his wife's death all play a part in the ups and downs of the story.This is really a very sweet read with lots of sizzle.  The characters are well drawn and very likeable. The story arc follows the program season and offers an insight into the world of reality television.I enjoyed this read very much and look forward to the next book in the series.
