Review: Pretty Face



Book Review: Pretty Face, by Lucy Parker, 4 stars




It’s not actress Lily Lamprey’s fault that she’s all curves and has the kind of voice that can fog up a camera lens. She wants to prove where her real talents lie—and that’s not on a casting couch, thank you. When she hears esteemed director Luc Savage is renovating a legendary West End theater for a lofty new production, she knows it could be her chance—if only Luc wasn’t so dictatorial, so bad-tempered and so incredibly sexy.

Luc Savage has respect, integrity and experience. He also has it bad for Lily. He’d be willing to dismiss it as a midlife crisis, but this exasperating, irresistible woman is actually a very talented actress. Unfortunately, their romance is not only raising questions about Lily’s suddenly rising career, it’s threatening Luc’s professional reputation. The course of true love never did run smooth. But if they’re not careful, it could bring down the curtain on both their careers…

Genre: contemporary romance

Publication date: February 2017

Mature content: yes

Review: Pretty Face is book two in the London Celebrities series and while I did love it, I think book one (Act Like It) was much better. Of the two main characters, Luc was clearly my favorite. Lily...not so much. I can't pinpoint exactly why, but I just couldn't connect with her. She has her good moments, especially when she is with Luc, but she's not very consistent.

 

While some of the characters from book one make an appearance (and it's great to see them), Pretty Face can be perfectly read as a stand alone. 

If you love the genre, you'll love Pretty Face for sure. Recommended. 


Happy readings!
