Book Review: Path to Stardom

 


Sometimes you just need coffee.

I’ve got my hands full with my kindergarten class in suburban Atlanta. But when my school turns into a film location for a movie, I’m thrilled to get a break so I can watch Hollywood heartthrob Ridge Wilson in action.

The next thing I know, I’ve accidentally spilled coffee all over his expensive shirt.

Instead of being mad and acting like an entitled celebrity, Ridge asks me to hang out with him in his private trailer. It’s only fitting I reciprocate and offer him a home-cooked meal at my house, right? I hardly notice his famous chiseled features and rock-hard biceps when it’s just the two of us. We definitely have chemistry, and when his film wraps, I’m stunned when he invites me to visit him in California during my fall break.

While I’m there, my entire world is upended when he confesses a secret that could turn Hollywood into a paparazzi-feeding frenzy. Ridge doesn’t expect me to get mixed up in all his drama. And I don’t want to keep teetering on whatever fine line this is we’ve created between us.

But America’s most famous eligible bachelor needs me – and I need him…

Path to Stardom is a captivating, feel-good romance about going outside your comfort zone, realizing what’s important, and holding on to the people who show up when you need them the most.


My Review

Beverly and Ridge share a charming first meeting. It is like the universe already knew that these two needed to be together. I mean, if the coffee spill on Ridge's shirt that ended up in the shape of a heart was not a sign, I don't know what is. 

"I want you, Beverly. Only you."

The way that Beverly and Ridge navigated his bombshell news was very mature of them both. While the idea of being a celebrity is cool, I actually would not want to be one. You never know who is there for you as a true friend and really loves you vs. those who just want to ride your coattails for the fame. The sweet moments that Ridge and Beverly shared are great. 

"I'm living in my own romance novel now. And Ridge Wilson will always be my leading man"

I love Kelly's writing. She always makes her characters come alive. In fact, they are not characters but family. The emotions that I felt reading Beverly and Ridge's story were all real. I was so invested in their lives. This book is a feel good, heartfelt, amazing read!
