What it Takes
by Kathryn Ascher (received through NetGalley)
4 stars
I wasn’t sure of this book at first but ended up really
enjoying the story and characters. It
concerns two Hollywood actors working on a movie together and their
relationship as it develops. Kelsey is a
relatively new actress with an interesting backstory and a desire to stay out
of the limelight and away from her charming co-star. Patrick is a movie star and tabloid fodder
for his romantic exploits. He is
charming, famous and handsome and has enjoyed the perks that come his way. The relationship between the two characters
progresses at a realistic pace and they are a good match for each other. I
found the ending a bit abrupt and would love to know more about how some of the
issues were resolved, but as this is the first in a series it may be brought up
in later books. Overall, this was a
solid contemporary romance and I am interested to read the other books in the
series. I received this book from
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
