The Callback

Every single time I read a contemporary romance by Brandy L. Rivers I fall more in love with the style from her. Leona Shay writes romance but she definitely isn't looking for it. Really, she may not even believe in Happily Ever After anymore. And she REALLY isn't looking for it with an actor whom she believes is only interested in her for a part in the movie she just sold the rights for. Luke Chance wants to meet Leona from the moment he sees her. Yes, he loves her books but his attraction to her is immediate and intense, and has nothing to do with getting a part. Can he convince her that love truly does exist and can happen in just a matter of days? When the going gets rough, will Leona give him the chance to explain things? Once again, Ms. Rivers has written a story that I fell in love with and didn't want to end!!!

The Callback is the first book in Brandy L. Rivers’ Love Behind the Scenes series and is a great read that readers can easily become caught up in from the very beginning. Leona Shay is an author whose personal life is turmoil so she is certainly not looking to fall for anyone much less a rising movie star. Luke Chase can have anybody he wants but he wants the author who isn’t ready for him or anything that comes with him. The characters are strong and easily connected to with some sizzling chemistry between them that readers easily pick up on during this sweet romance full of hot and steamy passion and rocky heartfelt turmoil that keeps the readers in suspense throughout the story wondering if this couple can possibly work things out and reach for the happily ever after, especially as trust doesn’t come easy for Leona. The plot moves smoothly with a steady pace that keeps readers glued to the pages as Luke tries to win Leona’s heart, but then disaster strikes due to an overzealous and determined former hook up and things really become intense and emotional which had me tearing up a bit. The author made it easy for each and every scene to be pictured as the reader follows the couples journey to their happily ever after with well written words and well developed characters that are realistic, so it is not surprising that I became emotionally invested in their romance. I am huge fan of Brandy L. Rivers paranormal Others universe, but this is the first contemporary romance that I have read by her and I have to say that I was quite pleased that I enjoyed reading The Callback as much as I enjoy reading about the Others so I can’t wait to read The Long Shot which is due to be released later this month.

Good
