This is book 2 in the lights, camera series. It follows Hollywood actress Heather and Production Designer Seth. Heather is the a list celebrity who plays the diva role very well, she uses this as a barrier from interacting and getting close to other people, she also doesn’t like to interact with people that have jobs that are lower than hers. Seth having been burnt in the past doesn’t have time for people who think that they are better than others. So the attraction between Seth “the carpenter” and Heather “the princess” doesn’t make much sense, but they have off the chart chemistry if they just look past this.Heather and Seth are both attending a meeting for a great cause, flirting happens between them until Heather believes that Seth is just a carpenter and then she turns ice cold and diva like towards him. She is rude to him, but he dishes it back out. Seth doesn’t come across as one to accept being spoken to or treated as though he is less than he is. “Prepared for her or not, Seth Rafferty was star struck.”A wrap party leads to more than just flirting between Heather and Seth, but Heather passing out puts a slight dampener on the evening for Seth. He leaves her his number, but as he expected she doesn’t call. Skipping a few weeks they meet again on the set of another movie. Seth is there because he can’t stop thinking about Heather. Heather likes that he is there, although she still isn’t able to look beyond her past and let her barriers down for Seth. Having a troubled childhood Heather had things drilled into her that still she believes even with all she has accomplished. Therefore Seth being a carpenter doesn’t fit her ideal. “Trash breeds trash, baby doll. That’s all you’ve ever been, that’s all you’ll ever be.”Seth and Heather get much closer once he finds out a little about her past when her dad turns up unexpectedly. They are a couple behind closed doors, they are trying to navigate the celebrity, getting to know each other without taking their clothes off and Seth is still not telling her the complete truth.We all know secrets don’t stay that way for long, once Heather finds out about Seth’s betrayal she closes herself off. She wants nothing more to do with him. “I gave you all of me. I made myself vulnerable. For you. And you lied to me.” You understand the reason behind him not telling her, but you can understand her hesitation as to what to do. You can tell that they both love each other but the hurt is there.I loved the story of Seth and Heather, there was some rather hot scenes in the book, but there was also lovely and sweet scenes. Well done Laurelin Paige on another fantastic read.Stacey
