Über dieses E-Book

‘Smart, sassy and spicy – with an ending to rival any Hollywood rom com...Totally recommended!’ Fiona Harper

Ruby Graham has just found out she’s been made co-owner of her favourite place in the whole of London – The Royale, a crumbling but still beautiful independent cinema in Notting Hill. It’s a place where she gets to live in a world of dreams and happy endings, a place where there are no lost causes and where falling in love is just like in the movies...

But all that comes under threat when Luke Devlin, an elusive Manhattan property developer and rumoured son of a Hollywood icon, arrives to claim his half of The Royale. As they butt heads over their plans for the place, Ruby and the infuriatingly gorgeous Luke find themselves in a dramatic plot of their own that’s fit for the silver screen.

I like movies, especially older ones, almost as much as Ruby does. Thus I could relate to her instantly. I also liked the fact that Luke isn't the typical bad boy who has his eyes set only on the money and needs to be convinced that people are also valuable. He already has his heart in the right place, but he is also pragmatic and realistic. So this story started out as a very nice chick-lit with a movie-twist, but suddenly turned into a New Adult novel. This somehow didn't fit with the rest of the story, and the demeanour of Ruby and Luke also didn't feel coherent then. But the biggest astonishment: no reference to "Out of Africa" when he is washing her hair! How could Heidi Rice miss that perfect opportunity. She could have turned this scene into something really really sweet, but instead makes a cringe-worthy moment out of it. That being said, I still liked Ruby and Luke, although their love story is not exactly 'like in the movies' (and even though I had a really hard time to understand Rubys stubbornness in the end).

Autoren-Profil

USA Today bestselling author Heidi Rice used to work as a film journalist until she found a new dream job writing romance for Harlequin in 2007. She adores getting swept up in a world of high emotions, sensual excitement, funny feisty women, sexy tortured men and glamourous locations where laundry doesn't exist. She lives in London, England with her husband, two sons and lots of other gorgeous men who exist entirely in her imagination (unlike the laundry, unfortunately!)
