Description
Siena Armetta. Film star, Hollywood icon, tabloid darling. To her fans and the media, she appears to be living a dream life. But things aren't always as they seem. The price she pays to maintain her fame is to deny who she is. Siena's number one rule in life - self-preservation at all costs. Admitting the truth could be a career killer.
Enter Julia Westbrooke...
Julia is soaring to new heights as a nationwide entertainment news anchor. Since coming out, she has been presented with countless opportunities - most recently, entry into a new circle of friends who are among the Hollywood elite - a circle in which Siena Armetta plays a starring role.
Unwillingly thrown together, Siena and Julia fight their growing attraction. Will Siena risk it all for Hollywood's most prominent media personality? Will Julia ignore everything she's worked for and step quietly back into the closet?
After the Glitter Fades is an irresistibly emotional roller coaster ride.

After The Glitter Fades by Diane Marina was such a satisfying read. I rarely give out five stars, but in this case I just had to. This book gave me everything I want from and expect from a good romance even down to the tears of joy I shed at the end.
I am a sucker for a Hollywood romance and I liked the fact that in this case, one of the main characters was actually a television journalist rather than an actress. That was a very nice twist. It allowed the two main characters to inhabit the same world, yet also have careers that were independent from one another.
I thought both main characters were very genuine, relatable and multi-layered. Siena Armetta is a talented and famous actress who is firmly in the closet. She is so afraid of losing her career that she has settled for a life with no romantic entanglements. Her character is generous, kind and professional. Julia Westbrooke is the most out celebrity in America. She is a television journalist and Siena is determined to keep her distance. Julia is very down to earth and once they meet, it becomes clear that they were made for each other.
I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but I was so appreciative that Ms. Marina did not use any of the predictable and easy plot points to a) break the couple up or b) bring them back together. Those aren't spoilers, they are just part of what makes a romance a romance.
The book is also full of a wonderful supporting cast. So often I find it hard to keep track of who is who in the world of the main characters, but not in this case. They each had something very special about them. Siena's ex-husband is a dear. I would love to see a book about Siena's friends Elise and Macy.
Well done!

This was one of those books that was hard to put down.... I loved all the characters and their story, the development of the plot was the perfect pace and there were just the right amount of drama to keep it interesting but not too much to make it annoying.
It was the first book I read by this author but I will definitely look for more!
