Review: Emotional contemporary romance

"Stand-In Star" starts with the sort of intensity needed for a story set in Hollywood (squee! Hollywood -- great setting). There's a damsel in distress and a mysterious hero in rusty armour. And then it gets even better, and hotter!It's tough not to include spoilers because the emotional issues are real and powerful, and handled effectively. I want to talk about the layers of Nate and Holly that are revealed, and how absorbing their separate and together journeys are. But you'll have to read the book to get that :)Rachael Johns has a clear, effortless style of storytelling that brings you into the heart of her characters' conflicted hopes, dreams and fears.
