About this ebook

After four months of unemployment, former book editor Clara Montgomery is still stuck sleeping on her little brother’s ugly couch in Queens. Determined to keep her minuscule savings account intact, she takes a job clearing out abandoned storage units, but is in no way prepared for stumbling upon dead snakes or trying to identify exactly where the perpetual stench of beets is emanating from.

When Clara comes across a unit that was once owned by an escort service, she finds the brothel “résumé” of a younger Caspian Tiddleswich…an astonishingly famous British actor. Her best friend thinks she should sell the gossip to a tabloid to fund her way off the couch from hell, but Clara instead manages to track down Caspian’s contact info, intending to reassure him that her lips are sealed.

Unfortunately, Caspian misinterprets Clara’s attempt at altruism and shows up on her doorstep, accusing her of blackmail. When the paparazzi capture a photo of them together, Caspian’s PR team sees an opportunity to promote his latest film—and if Clara wants to atone for her “crimes,” she’ll have to play along. Pretending to be Caspian’s girlfriend seems like it will be a tolerable, if somewhat daunting, penance…until their fake romance becomes something more than either of them expected.

I thought this was a good read. This enemies to lovers story contains a blend of humor, drama, snappy banter and a touch of madcap zaniness. I liked Clara and Caspian. I thought they had good chemistry and I liked the sparks they generated. As fun as this was, I did feel that the book lagged sometimes, especially in the beginning and my attention would wander on occasion. Still, for a first book, I found it enjoyable and I would definately try more books from this author.

Clara and Caspian’s unusual love story is one you might read in the tabloids not a book entitled Crashing the A-List by Summer Heacock. Out of work Clara is desperate for a job, even one outside her career as an editor. Desperate times means taking any job that pays, even one cleaning out abandoned storage units. Making sure that nothing important or valuable was left behind Clara unearths a list of employees for an escort service, finding the name of a famous actor on the list. In the confusion of a drunk phone call, a visit from said actor, Caspian Tiddleswich, and major misunderstandings, Clara is blackmailed into posing as Caspian’s girlfriend until he completes his run in a Broadway play. Then there’s not to miss all the publishing houses offering Clara a job because of her connection to Caspian; causing her to feel less and less valued for her abilities but more for who she knew. We see Caspian portray a variety of personas as he deals with Clara, usually not politely. At this point it was difficult for me to like Caspian. He did try to redeem himself and by making a grand gesture. A gesture that was not only sincere but heart-warming and suggesting the path this story would take toward a happy ever after. I just wonder if with all the negative and evil ways he treated Clara and misunderstood the situations if it was truly enough for her forgiveness. Ms. Heacock wrote a humorous and sexy story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, laugh out loud scenes and endearing characters giving Clara and Caspian a chance for happiness, love and a future together, neiter expected. I definitely recommend Crashing the A-List to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
