Star Struck is the second book in the Lights, Camera Series. The first book, Take Two was about Movie star Micah Preston. This book is about his co-star from the movie they were filming the in the first book, Heather. I was really happy that this was Heather's story, because other than knowing she was a big time movie actress that had a tendency towards being stuck up, we really didn't get to know her at all. In Star Struck we really got to break past all of her walls and defenses and we got to know her really well. That is my favorite kind of character development lately. When you can actively see the growth; slow and constant. Laurelin Paige did an excellent job telling Heather and Seth's story.Heather is complicated. She certainly has a diva flair to her, but it is not for the reasons that you might be thinking. She doesn't only think that she is too good for other people. She fears fans, and anyone really, getting to close to her because she is nervous that they will discover her secret and consequently think that she isn't worthy anymore. It was sad really. Her parents really did a number on her. It was crazy, and sad, to see such a successful and confident woman doubt her self-worth. The thing that I loved the most about Seth was that he always made it known that he thought she was worthwhile, even when they were fighting like cats and dogs.I understood Seth's secret a little bit better. It made the book a little bit predictable, but the story was still oh so much fun. I loved watching them go from fighting to more. It wasn't fast or rushed. They each tried to deny what they felt for the other. But even more than their awesome chemistry, they were great because they each pushed the other to face their fears. It was whole other layer to Star Struck that I really enjoyed. I might have even liked it more than the first book! Laurelin Paige knows how to write an awesome Contemporary Romance. I am loving her Lights, Camera Series.*Disclaimer- I got a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest review. I was not compensated for my thoughts.
