ARC for honest review with no compensation received from NetGalley and Next Step PR

LuxeGlamour is book 5 in the Glamour series and what another amazing Hollywood story it is!! Am so loving these books by Maggie Marr!!

Sophie Delgado Legend is the "secret daughter" along with his sister Ellen and brother Rhett Delgado who's mother was the housekeeper/mistress of the famous actor Steve Legend. Sophia wants nothing to do with his father or his half brother and sister but will use them to get to the stardom she feels she deserves but because of certain bad decisions her PR company send her to volunteer at Pawtown an animal shelter. Where she meet a long forgotten Hollywood Heartthrob..Trick Williams. He wants no parts of the Hollywood scene any longer and will do whatever to keep it that way.

Can opposites find a way to have it all or will Sophia's lust for stardom be her downfall at finding a love that will last a lifetime??

I have been a fan of this series since I started it and continue to enjoy this series Luxe Glamour is the fifth book in this one and follows Sophia Legend

She's finally out as the daughter of Hollywood star Steve Legend instead of a a dirty little secret and she's using that to her advantage. Breaking out as a model and seeing herself rise to fame but the fame is short lived unfortunately as an unfortunate event see's fans turn on her.

She in damage control mode and her PR company has her volunteering at an animal shelter owned by a forgotten Hollywood heartthrob that's run into the shadows to hide from all things Hollywood.

Sophia and Trick couldn't be more different from one another, he wants away from the limelight and she can't get famous quick enough. I loved Trick and everything about him, his story is sad and I could definitely understand his reasoning and why he left Hollywood behind. He was caring and kind, loyal and humble.

I loved the storyline and the idea behind it. The opposites attract, someone to bring you down to earth and really show you what's important in life is definitely what I get out of this.

The unfortunate part for me was Sophia's character and her selfishness, I found at times her to be too much and while sometimes I get that a character's behavior in a book can be hard to swallow at first knowing that in due time we would get the backstory that potentially explains the behavior I just couldn't wrap my head or justify her behavior in this book. There wasn't enough to make me understand her actions at the beginning, other then to think of her as a petulant child who needed a serious lesson in humility.

I'm still a fan of this series and I am definitely looking forward to the next one this one just fell a little short for me.
