Review: Hollywood Dirt by Alessandra Torre (Goodreads Author)

Hollywood DirtHollywood Dirt by Alessandra Torre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have only read one book by this author, Sex, Love, Repeat, which I loved…. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
And having read so many amazing reviews about Hollywood Dirt, I couldn’t wait to open up Page 1! It had to be an incredible story otherwise why would there be all those 5 star ratings by my GR friends.
Well, let me just say…….THEY WERE COMPLETLY CORRECT!!! This is a beyond incredible book! I could not stop turning the pages….Even when I should have switched off my lights and get some shut-eye…I couldn’t…

4AM….got to get some shut-eye!! Wake up 9AM….after dreams of Cole, naturally…it was back to Hollywood Dirt!!! No, breakfast can wait!!!!

Hollywood Dirt – one of the coolest and sexiest stories ever! One of my favorite books ever!!!!

Let me share just a few of the many reasons why I adored this story!

This is a beautiful romantic love story…not dark and twisty moments! Two people from totally different worlds who probably would never meet …..but there are times when something happens and call it fate, destiny, whatever that sets the moment right for something extraordinary to happen in someone’s life. And that’s exactly what happens when Hollywood comes knocking at a small and sleepy town called Quincy, to film a movie.

I so enjoyed the back-story of the small town of Quincy…the Coca Cola history that’s interwoven into the story.

The contrast between the fickleness of Hollywood and the warmth of a small town in Georgia was shown really well.

Summer Jenkins, small town girl….

I adored her. I loved her spunkiness, her soft heart and her impish moments….check…chicken present!!! And yes, this woman can cook!!!!!! And most of all, she’s not blinded by the whole superstar thing!!!

Cole Masten, Hollywood Superstar……

What a man!!! Here I thought we would have this spoilt, overbearing….you know who I am? kind of movie star…and wow…I get to see a side of him that is totally irresistible…..his reaction to Cocky..more about him later….just made me fall in love…irrevocably and totally and eternally in love with Cole.

Okay, so you want to know more about Cocky…..he’s my 3rd favorite character in this book….

The most hysterical scenes have to be when Cole is checking out what Cocky’s diet is at the local feed store…and the scene where Cole takes Cocky on set….totally unforgettable!

I loved the interactions between Summer and Cole – funny, sizzling sexual tension, hot and intense sex and the working relationship on the movie was a total blast to read. Love….Hate….Enemies….Lovers!!!! I couldn’t get enough of these two.

There are some incredible and interesting secondary characters that just add something special to the story…..Brad de Luca, Cole’s attorney (I have to read his book!!!!), Ben, the movie scout (loved his scenes…), Summer’s mother….and the Quincy community…Sunday church, the local gossip…..just made it feel so real.

Beautifully written, great story, compelling characters……..thank you Alessandra Torre…for sharing it with me…Uplifting, sexy, heart-warming…… leaving me with a smile on my face……….

If you love contemporary romance that will leave you feeling so good when you get to the last page…THE END….then please get this book!!! You will be so glad you did.

My favorite quote:
They say that love is finding your soul’s match in another. I found my match. I found him, let him wrestle me to the ground, and then turned around and made him mine.
