Rating: 5 out of 5

I love Arianne's take on the jaded world of Hollywood with Shooting Star.  Star Davis is the current "hot mess" of the celebrity gossip world.  Fresh out of rehab, she is looking to recapture her waning career with the part of a lifetime.  Jake Wild is a British director with a wild past of his own.  He is looking for the perfect actress for his lasted movie "Skye's the Limit".  There is only one problem, that decision has been made for him and he is not happy about it.  Jake and Star come together under circumstances neither want to be in.  Will they overcome their chaotic pasts and deny the undercurrent of lust that threats to boil over?One of my favorite qualities of Arianne's writing is her characters.  They are not squeaky clean people.  They're complicated, opinionated, and come with a lot of baggage.  It makes for a very engrossing plot and high drama between the characters.  Star Davis is not what she seems.  At only 19, she's a veteran of the Hollywood child star circuit and has seen and done it all.  Star is not afraid to say or do anything it takes to get what she wants.  Jake is a product of Hollywood royalty.  His family has been making movies for decades and Jake follows in their footsteps.  He's also been indulging in the privileged lifestyle a bit too much.  Even as Jake and Star clash, they have a lot in common.  Arianne creates juicy angst and hot chemistry between them both.I'm a huge fan of movie star romances and Arianne does a fantastic job of crafting a story that could be straight out of OK Magazine.  Many of her celebrity references are very accurate (I'm a Hollywood gossip junkie and I know my celebs) and the plot is salacious!  The ending does have a bit of a cliffhanger, but nothing too jarring.  It's enough to make you crave for the next installment of the series.  I give Shooting Star five out of five stars!Written by Dee McGee - Booze, Bookz, and Bad Boyz
