Review: "Hollywood Games" by Evie Alexander

Congratulations to Evie Alexander on the publication of her latest novel, "Hollywood Games," book #2 of the Kinloch series. It continues the story of Rory McGinley, Earl of Kinloch, and Zoe Maxwell, which started in book #1. I recommend reading these two books in order for the best experience.
 
As the story begins, Rory and Zoe are very much together and in love, but secretly, Rory still fears that Zoe will grow tired of the inconveniences of life in the Scottish Highlands and leave him to return to her old life in London. He's been working around the clock to renovate the cabin she inherited from her great-uncle Willie in the hopes that having a comfortable place to live will prevent her from leaving. Unfortunately, that's not the only thing Rory has to worry about; a lawsuit is driving the Kinloch estate ever closer to bankruptcy, a huge New Year's snowstorm causes part of the castle's roof to collapse, and a health scare has Rory's mother Barbara clinging to him like never before. When Hollywood megastar Brad Bauer shows up and announces his plans to make Braveheart 2 on location in Kinloch, it turns out to be exactly the financial windfall Rory needs, but it's also a massive headache that has Rory and Zoe scrambling to deal with the demands of the movie's cast and crew. Will their relationship survive until the final scene is filmed?

I absolutely adored this laugh-out-loud funny, sweet, and steamy story. Zoe and Rory were super cute together, and their chemistry just kept getting better as the story progressed. I loved that their grumpy-sunshine vibes were still so strong even though Rory was completely besotted with Zoe. Their banter along the way was a tremendous amount of fun, as were the book's secondary characters. I especially enjoyed Zoe's "second family," Morag, Fiona, and Jamie. I look forward to seeing more of them in the next two books of the series.

I highly recommend "Hollywood Games" and can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series. It seems there's never a dull moment in Kinloch!

About "Hollywood Games"

When Hollywood meets the Highlands, things will never be the same again…

Rory’s found the love of his life but can he be sure Zoe feels the same? What can he offer her when his job’s on the line, and his mother’s out to destroy her? When Hollywood superstar, Brad Bauer, shows up wanting to film Braveheart 2 at Kinloch castle, it seems like the answer to all his prayers. However, there’s a catch.

Zoe’s had a crush on Brad since she was a teen. Now he’s here, hotter than ever, and convinced he was married to her in a past life. As Hollywood descends on the tiny village of Kinloch, it’s not just the castle that’s under siege.

A mystical holy man, a sexy starlet, an intense megastar and a couple pushed to the edge. Can Rory navigate the glitter storm and keep his eye on the prize, or by saving the estate, is he about to lose the best thing that’s ever happened to him?
