Synopsis
In the land of Hollywood,
bright lights cover lies, truths hide in shadows, and the lives of the
rich and famous are illusions created by smoke and mirrors.
When costume designer Josie Bane first lays eyes on Anders Ellis, she hates him instantly. Conceited and arrogant, he's the epitome of a Hollywood playboy. So it’s much to Josie’s dismay when he becomes the star of her sexual fantasies.
Never expecting to see him again, she gives in to her desires for a night she’ll never forget. However, Josie soon learns that life is full of surprises. When their paths cross again, sparks fly. With three little words, Anders changes everything.
He’s after one thing.
She refuses to give it to him... again.
When Josie realizes she’s falling for a man that will never let her in but refuses to let her go, she must decide if the risk is worth the reward.
With a relationship shrouded in secrets and outside forces poised to tear them apart, did they ever stand a chance? Before the smoke clears and the curtain falls, Josie and Anders must distinguish between what’s fact and what’s fiction in a place where the truth is never black and white.

Excerpt
“Did I mention this place is a shit hole?” Anders moved to the bed and fell on it, his sigh over-the-top and dramatic.
“Yes, I think you might have mentioned that somewhere between get naked and straddle my face.”
Anders chuckled and turned toward Josie. “Yeah, that sounds about right.”
“Want to tell me what this place has done to make you pout like a five-year-old?”
“I’m not pouting. I just have certain expectations, and when those expectations aren’t met, it pisses me off.”
“And
those expectations would be?” Josie trailed off, rolling her wrist in
the air. She was far more amused by his antics than she should be.
“Food.
I wanted dinner in my room, but that’s not possible after the kitchen
closes. So I either eat whatever nasty, stale shit is in the vending
machines or go to the dining area and eat whatever nasty, stale shit is
in there.”
Josie’s
lip twitched as Anders’ face twisted with annoyance. She fake coughed
and mumbled, “High maintenance.” Leaning over the side of the bed, she
grabbed her shirt and slipped it on before shimming into her panties.
She ignored the way Anders watched her with narrowed eyes as she hopped
off the bed and crossed the room. Digging through her bag, she pulled
out a granola bar and tossed it on Anders’ bare chest. “This isn’t stale
or nasty. Dinner is served.” She bowed at the waist and swept her arm
out wide with a flourish.
“Does it get exhausting?” Anders ripped the wrapper from the granola and took a bite.
“Does what get exhausting?”
“Being a smart-ass all the time.”
Josie
moved to the bed and snatched the granola bar away. Breaking off a huge
piece, she popped it into her mouth and shrugged. “I don’t know. Does
being an asshole ever get exhausting for you?”
“I’m not an asshole.”
“And I’m not a smart-ass.”
“You’re impossible.” Anders huffed and snagged the remainder of the bar.
“It seems we at least have that in common.”
MY REVIEW:
Hollywood & Vine was such a fun, sexy read. Anders Ellis is a playboy, Hollywood actor all the way. He sleeps with girls one time and one time only. That is until Josie Bane comes along. She is the costume designer on the set of his new film and he is determined to have her (again) and she wants nothing to do with him after their one quick fling. In his defense, he never got her name and only referred to her as Ivy.
When Josie finally decides to give Anders a shot, the two keep their relationship under wraps (you know how the paps can be)! Unfortunately, Anders' co-star doesn't get the memo and does everything she can to get with Anders herself.
I devoured this book and couldn't wait to find out what was coming next. Definitely looking forward to more from Olivia Evans.
