Hollywood Husband, Contract Wife: Ruthless [Large Print]

it was a breath of fresh air for me haven't read that much romance novels with this concept but i thought the end with the brothers was great for me wonder if she'll do a story about the brothers...

Alexandra Shanahan left her Montana home and family to try to make her way in Hollywood and try to become her own individual self. While tabloids are screaming about his affair with a married woman, heart throb Wolf Kerrick, the big movie sensation, needs to repair his image. What better way to divert the tabloids? He gets a new girlfriend and makes sure their orchestrated romance is in front of the cameras! One dinner here and one opening there; a matinee here and a party there ---all in front of the celebrity hungry public. One spilt drink on her party dress leads to a marriage.....to a man she hates and then one misstep after another. I enjoyed seeing the fun, crazy places that Jane Porter led her heroine. I only wish that she had added a line or two to explain why Wolf went to Alexandra in the beginning. I also would have liked her to flesh out a bit more the relationship between Wolf and Joy or Wolf and his family to prepare the reader just a bit more for the departure scene and the resolution. Nevertheless, this is novel is a thrilling read. What a fun ride Jane Porter makes for her characters and her readers!

Book Description: Leading man Wolf Kerrick is always in the headlines. This time the sexy Spanish superstar has taken Alexandra, an unknown, ordinary girl, and turned her into an instant celebrity, then into his Hollywood bride! But all the glitz and glamour of their lavish wedding is tarnished by a dirty secret--and if the tabloids find out, there'll be shock waves throughout the world... Wonderful story incorporating Hollywood's media machine, public images, false impressions, travel, a dash of world and social issues, family issues, health issues, etc.; just enough to give the story depth. To this add a nice hunky actor (with more depth then the surface suggests), an ordinary girl (who could be any woman), the required interfering "other" female (the kind you just love to hate), romance, passion, and a well written story. The story of Tynan Wolfe Kerrick and Alexandra Shanahan all adds up to an enjoyable quick read (under 200 pages) and a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Back Cover: Leading man Wolf Kerrick is always in the headlines. This time the sexy Spanish superstar has taken Alexandra, an unknown, ordinary girl, and turned her into an instant celebrity, then into his Hollywood bride. But all the glitz and glamour of their lavish wedding is tarnished by a dirty secret- and if the tabloids find out, there'll be shock waves throughout the world... Wow, what a great story. One usually doesn't expect a lot from a 180 page harlequin paperback, but this story really had depth. The characters were completely fleshed out, the story was compelling...this was a "can't put it down" kind of book. Alexandra is a lowly assistant who gets the chanCe of a lifetime, playing the pseudo-girl friend of Hollywood's biggest heart throb. Wolf Kerrick, the enigmatic sexy hero, needs damage control in the form of a wholesome beauty to eclipse a recent scandal. The whole cast of characters (Alex's 5 older brothers, a jealous actress) make this a rich and satisfing read.
