SUMMER'S BOOK BLOGOn the night Maddie graduated from film school, she rewarded herself like any other good girl would, with an X rated make out session involving a complete stranger who promises to call her but never does. Fast forward seven years and Maddie finds herself working as a camera assistant of a film starring Hollywood's hottest leading man, Micah Preston. Problem being Micah Preston is the stranger who never called. Maddie finds herself in quite the predicament. Will Micah remember her? Does she even want him to remember her?Micah Preston worked his way to the top of Hollywood's hot list and now he has his choice when it comes to who he shares his bed with. His only rule- NO RELATIONSHIPS! "But now he faced six weeks on set with a woman who once upon a time didn’t care about what or who he was.Maddie Bauers just might be his undoing.”Their connection is magnetic and giving in to it will be the only thing that will ease their tension enough to focus on the movie instead of their frustrations. So Maddie agrees to a secret relationship that she thinks she can handle but when Maddie lays her cards on the table will Micah be willing to break the rule that he so diligently lived by or will the movie and their relationship wrap at the same time?Take Two is the 1st Lights, Camera book by Laurelin Paige and also the first book of hers I have read. I have to say I was impressed. It was a rather refreshing read as there was no real Hollywood drama that you would expect. It was light and really funny. Maddie and Micah's back and forth banter was really entertaining.Maddie was so strong and she really stood her ground. She is career driven, smart and talented and they are awesome qualities to have in a leading lady. I also really enjoyed Bree, the best friend. She reminds me of someone I would want to be in my corner. Bree really is the definition of a great best friend.Micah is arrogant and pompous on the outside but when it is just him and Maddie he is super sweet and caring. His stubbornness drove me insane sometimes but I had to remind myself he is Hollywood royalty (lol).The ending for me was just okay (that's why I only gave 4 stars) as I just wanted more. It was lacking something, maybe more explanation. An epilogue maybe? But all in all it really was a good read!Laurelin Paige really did a great job with Take Two. I can not stress enough how much I enjoyed the fact that there was no twisty dark drama just pure anticipation for the outcome of Maddie and Micah. I will definitely be checking out more of her books
