Review: Making Up

 

 

✩✩✩✩

Once upon a time, circus artist Trix Lane was the best around. Her spark vanished with her confidence, though, and reclaiming either has proved…difficult. So when the star of The Festival of Masks is nixed and Trix is unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight, it’s exactly the push she needs. But the joy over her sudden elevation in status is cut short by a new hire on the makeup team.

Leo Magasiva: disgraced wizard of special effects. He of the beautiful voice and impressive beard. Complete dickhead and—in an unexpected twist—an enragingly good kisser.

To Leo, something about Trix is…different. Lovely. Beautiful, even though the pint-size, pink-haired former bane of his existence still spends most of her waking hours working to annoy him. They’ve barely been able to spend two minutes together for years, and now he can’t get enough of her. On stage. At home. In his bed.

When it comes to commitment, Trix has been there, done that, never wants to do it again. Leo’s this close to the job of a lifetime, which would take him away from London—and from Trix. Their past is a constant barrier between them.

Review: Making Up was the only book in the London Celebrities series I hadn't read yet, so I kind of felt the need to rectify that. 

And while this one may not be my favorite in the series, I did love reading about Trix and Leo's story. With a past history of missed chances and misunderstandings, it's great to see them finally come to terms and find a middle ground where their love can flourish.

I did think that at some point there were too many details and side plots thrown in, which distracted me from the main characters and their story, hence the four stars rating. 

It is, however, still a great book, and part of a great series, and I recommend it. 

Happy readings!
