Description
She's fallen for his greatest role. But can she fall for him?
Former soap star Tom Calvert dreams of making movies that matter. To get the part of a lifetime he becomes a method actor, living as Beau Tennant, a war hero with a disabling injury. While in character he meets Maree Reynard, a costume designer, and takes her on a date. But when this practice date becomes all too real he realizes that he's made the mistake of a lifetime. Will he be able to get Maree to fall in love with Tom Calvert?
Maree Reynard's father is an actor and she has grown up on a studio lot. She has no illusions about the artifice of the movie-making business and has vowed she would never date an actor. When she meets and falls in love with Beau Tennant she knows that she's found her dream man who is genuine and real. But when Beau disappears from her life she is heartbroken. She meets Tom Calvert on the rebound and sees their flirtation as a way of recovering her shattered confidence. Will Tom Calvert be able to convince her he is the real deal?

Author: Mae Archer Publisher: Momentum Books Published: 07-24-2014 Genre: Romance Overall Rating: Wonderfully Heartwarming Reviewed For: NetGalley Reviewer: April S.
The story has the main characters of Tom and Maree. Tom is a famous actor who met Maree when he was dressed as “Beau” for a movie role he was researching. “Beau” was in a wheelchair and was only in Hollywood to meet some people regarding a movie about his life. Maree met Beau on her way to lunch and from there the story starts. Tom continues to portray his “Beau” disguise, getting to know Maree more. He is conflicted; on one hand, he knows he is wrong for not being more honest but on the other hand, because of the conflict Maree has with her movie star father, with whom she is estranged , he doesn’t tell her because he doesn’t want to loose her. In the end, Tom decides to as “Beau”, to dissolve their relationship and call it a day.
Several months go by, where Maree is living in a state between being numb half the time and the other times feeling crushing pain. This time she is working on a movie set and meets Tom. Tom is ready for this second chance. Tom is so in love with Maree. The only issue is that Tom has a stalker. The pace picks up as Tom and Maree try to figure out who is the stalker.
I love the supporting cast of characters. Love how they really pulse on the pages. They literally have a life of their own. “Hollywood Dreams” is different from other contemporary romance novels that I have read in the past. Only one little peeve that I had is that I would get more interaction of Maree’s family. I know of them from the brief mentions by Maree but not much else. Just would have liked to have seen more of them in the book.
Enjoyability: I'd happily do a re-read multiple times.
My Rating: *****
