Apologies, this was a great review then I diverted to give my husband a life in Candy Crush Soda and when I got back the thing was wiped.

Pepper O'Brien is Hollywood royalty. Her father Peter is a big shot Hollywood film producer as is her brother Paul. Unfortunately, she is the joke of the family, a clutz with no career, heck not even a job, famous only for screwing up like crashing a Maserati or braiding an actor with his own Oscar. Trouble is, Pepper doesn't like being the butt of her family's jokes, or the media.

She is living in the small town of Stoneybrook, trying to be normal, and get over her broken engagement, but her first job turns out to be a disaster when she is nearly run down by a pensioner. Only saved by her brother's best friend Derek Cushette who is scouting locations for a documentary about small town America financed by Peter O'Brien. Trouble is, taking Peter O'Brien's money means he owns you, and Peter wants Derek to look out for Pepper and keep her out of trouble until her brother's wedding.

Loved this, loved Pepper and loved Derek. Peter, Paul and Pepper's ex fiancé Andy were all douches.

Sorry about the lost review, I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

"Son of a bacon bit" this was a great rom-com. Pepper the daughter of a famous movie producer and Derek an aspiring film maker meet again after several years in the sleepy little town that Pepper moved to after a series of disasters that always seem to make the cover of the tabloids. Pepper had a teen crush on Derek who was her brother's best friend at that time. If you like a heart warming romance with a lot of humor this is the book for you. It was fun reading about their adventure to their HEA. Elise Faber is a new author for me but I really like her style and plan on reading more of her books.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy provided thru NetGalley.

Very immature. Characters lacked dimension and,substance, and failed to grow at all. Pepper had no backbone at all, and didn't ever get one.
