"I, like every other female who came into contact with Dillon MacAvoy, lusted after Mr. Chiseled Perfection. The difference? I could lust after him physically, but I wouldn't act on my attraction"An endearing tale of a small town girl and the Hollywood movie star. I love these type of stories and Hard Glamour has done the theme justice. The characters are well rounded, the story flows beautifully and there's plenty of romance and swoonworthy moments.Lane Channing has taken the "Big Risk" and driven out from Kansas to L.A to start her career in the entertainment industry. Things go downhill fairly quickly when she arrives to find no job, no where to stay and a few pennies in her pocket. Her luck quickly turns around when she is offered a job as Dillon MacAvoy's newest reader. Not an easy job, as Dillon has quite a reputation. Living up to his brands image of the forever single bad boy, Dillon is not interested in anyone special.  Unfortunately Fate had another idea, and these two are drawn to one another, and unable to deny their attractions."Choo was right. She was too good, too pure, too innocent - exactly what I'd want in a forever kind of girl, but not what I want for now. I wasn't ready for forever. I wasn't even close. Not now. Not anytime soon."Maggie has created some really fantastic characters. I especially loved Dillon and the changes we see him go through. He's definitely got the Alpha male 'Movie Star' persona down pat. He's unbelievably attractive yet arrogant, self assured, cocky, possessive - all the qualities we've grown to love. As the story goes on and we read from his POV, you notice a shift, and its a great one! Dillon discussing his feelings, expressing his love and affection, HOLY HELL! This boy melted my kindle screen. He, himself struggles with the shift, making mistakes along the way, his emotions surprising him.I loved Lane as well. She definitely portrays the small town girl, quiet and a little skittish, yet she is feisty and strong, all the things I enjoy in a Heroine. Lane exudes something that makes her special, something that draws people to her. She really gets put in some shitty situations, but she always manages to handle them well, I love that in a story.  Lane tries her hardest to deny her feelings for Dillon, wanting to succeed in her job yet it becomes impossible. Their attraction is electric, and their pull is too strong to one another."I couldn't help getting involved. I couldn't have stopped myself - I'd tried to stop myself, but the attraction, the want to be close to Dillon, no matter the cost, was too strong for me to repel. My attraction to Dillon was so powerful, so intense, that I'd risk my entire Hollywood career to see where this relationship between the two of us would go."The story flows beautifully, moving at a pace that kept my attention the whole time. I love the Hollywood theme stories. The glitz, glamour, drama behind the scenes, its all so fascinating. Hard Glamour does it all justice. I'm looking forward to the next story in the series about Amanda and Ryan, this should be interesting!
