Rumor Has It (Limelight #1)

Rumor Has It (Limelight #1)

All publicity is good publicity, right? Unless you’re recent college grad Ellie Wagner and an embarrassing video of you and your boyfriend goes viral. Every man in your life abandons you, but who knew a one-minute clip of your latest doomed relationship would brand you a slut, prevent you from getting your perfect job, and force you to keep doing the one thing you swore you’d never do again…live with your mother.

But staying with mom and her latest boy-toy (is this husband number four or five?) until your life turns around might not be all bad. Especially when you fall – literally – at the feet of a sexy, green-eyed stranger who offers you freedom and a life of luxury on a gold-rimmed platter.

There’s only one liiittle problem – the man of your dreams is none other than Mason Nash, the latest hip-hop star busting up the music charts. Fame and fortune are his calling cards and he’s vying to steal the show on a new reality TV series that will catapult him into mainstream stardom. Hello spotlight.

The man behind the famous persona is perfect for Ellie in every way, but can she overcome the ugly pitfalls that come with Mason’s celebrity status? Or will she be forced to choose between the man she loves and the independent life she longs for? After all, fame and fortune aren’t always what they seem and not all publicity is good publicity…

My Review

---

After shoving her pie in a stupid boys face Ellie was now a YouTube sensation with 43 million views. Her best friend since collage, Katie, was her support system. One day when her boss asked Ellie to go by the beach house to leave the key for the new renter, she was distraught when she realized she was given the wrong key. Instead of driving back to the realtor’s office she decided to look for an open window, and when she found one she was only able to open it a little bit. She ended up with a torn skirt and a massive headache, and a shirtless sexy man standing above her.

He thought she’d broke in and was an insane stalker fan. Mason Nash thought he’d left all of the craziness behind him when he came to his little quiet beach town. When things quickly escalate between him and Ellie. But are his feelings too much for him to handle?

Ellie has a hard choice to make, does she want to be happy with the man that rocks her world? Or will she be scared and allow headlines to control her life?

OMG this book was incredible!

There were so many times I wanted to yell at Ellie or Mason because I wanted their HEA. Sometimes when I’m reading an author I haven’t read before I’m a little hesitant because I’m not sure I’ll fall in love with their writing style. But RUMOR HAS IT pulled me in for the first sentence and didn’t release me until the end. There were a few surprises that had me at the edge of my seat begging my eyes and brain to process faster.

I’d totally recommend this book to everyone that likes a HEA but is okay with the struggle of what will come in any relationship. I also LOVE the part about bullying, it was beautifully written!
