GRR Reviews Just One Kiss by Susan Hatler


Charlie divorced her rockstar husband after he was changed by his fame, and she never got to pursue her acting career as promised. Her husband tried to keep her by fighting for every penny, and Charlie, heart-broken, kept only a single beach mansion in her hometown of Blue Moon Bay... and nothing else. However, as an ex-wife of a rock star, she had no education and no employable skills. Desperate for some income, she agreed to let the soap opera "Just One Love" to film at her mansion, because both stars, Luke, and Adele, also came from Blue Moon Bay, and is back in town to do some promos, and film for a whole month. Things started to change when she was cast as a maid due to an on-set emergency, then she got written many extra lines due to on-screen chemistry with the star Luke. And the producer wants her to stay on full-time as the 2nd female lead. But when a bigger and better opportunity came along, can Charlie let Luke go to do what she always wanted: to act? Or will she stay with Luke for a bit part?

The twist at the end was excellent, as the novel managed to twist the "I have to hurt you to love you" trope properly. And often the lines adlibbed had a lot of double entendres that you'd chuckle.
