I was asked as a favor to read and provide a review for Auditioning You and I'm so glad I did.  Although some novellas I have read in the past begin with very little story development in a rush just to get the characters together, Auditioning You definitely does not fall into that category.  I really felt like Jessie Evans gave us plenty of background on the two main characters to give me the feeling of understanding and knowing them well as my reading progressed.Beth Perkins is a small town girl from Georgia who moves to L.A. with her high school boyfriend.  Beth has been working full-time for a costume company on a movie set as well as moonlighting as a bartender to support him for years while he pursued his dream of acting.  When he is finally given his first part in a film, she is blindsided when he leaves a note for her in their apartment dumping her and informing her she that not only does she need to find a new place to live, but she is no longer allowed on the set of the movie in which he was cast.  Now being left with nowhere to live and no job, she decides to accept the vacation she has won to get away from L.A. and try to regroup.Tanner is a famous actor who is completely fed up with the Hollywood scene.  Tired of all of the shallowness, he decides to escape on a small "scholarship" he has been given to clear his head and hoping not to be recognized and just to be left alone.  But when Tanner sees Beth falling off a ledge and pulled down into the ocean, he chooses to rescue her at which point fate steps in. Both Beth and Tanner are drawn to each other with a realization that neither one is what the other expected, but in fact is what they have always been hoping to find.I truly enjoyed this story and quickly found myself saddened because I was wishing there were more pages to read.  I definitely wasn't ready to see the book end.  There is a lot of steamy chemistry between Tanner and Beth as well.  Two thumbs up Jessie.  I loved it!
