Description
From heartbreak to the best mistake they'll ever make…
When Layla Rivers’ boyfriend of 12 years skips out on their round-the-world trip of a lifetime – without her – she does what experience has taught her to do best, hide away in the cosy Cornish village she calls home. But any hopes of laying low soon disappear when Hollywood’s hottest star & mutual acquaintance, the gorgeous Nick Wells, crash lands on her couch…naked!
For Nick, Cornwall is supposed to be an escape from both his problems and the limelight, yet as the stars align and disarming Layla bursts into his world, his life only gets more complicated.
Will Nick and Layla fight against the undeniable connection between them or, after a romantic whirlwind trip to Paris, will they follow their hearts’ desires?

Reach for the Stars, Kathy Jay good, uplifting romantic comedy
by Kathy Jay
Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
Genre: General fiction (adult)
I bought book one when I saw this, that's the story of Alex, Nick's twin brother. Sounded the sort I love and was only 99p. Sadly though I liked it I wasn't really convinced of the story, felt it was a bit meh, so almost wished I hadn't asked for this. What a difference though, I love this story, full of drama and fun, laughter and heartbreak and with some very real feeling characters.
I really didn't like Nick in book one but now I saw a different side to him, saw the reasons for his behaviour and it made sense. Layla is a great character, one of those people everyone depends on, but its leaving her no time to do what she wants, pit herself first. When Joe does the dirty ( hiss, boo, what an awful man he is) she's distraught, they've been together and she was thinking marriage and family so it came as a shock. Then Nick comes along and she sees what passion really is.
It was great fun to see events play out, to see what starts as a no strings fling becomes more, to see Layla discover what real love is, let her see what she had with Joe was just a good friendship at best.
Paris, great at first then heartbreaking. But we'd kind of guessed that would happen. Then the events after that had me amazed, how Joe rationalised everything cemented in my mind just what a jerk he was. I did feel sorry for Lainy though, an innocent caught up in his selfishness.
Stars: 4.5, it was a really fun read, and I enjoyed it so much more than book one. I'm not sure I'd re-read, not for a very long time anyway but one I'm very glad to have chosen.
