ISBN: 9780446694476
How to Sleep with a Movie Star by Kristin Harmel tells the story of Claire Reilly, an entertainment reporter for Mod magazine. Claire is in a slump. Her live-in boyfriend won’t have sex with her and she’s just been asked to write an article about why having a one night stand is wonderful. Clearly, she isn’t in the best place in her life.
That same week, Claire is assigned to interview Cole Brannon, Hollywood’s hottest star. At this point in her career, interviewing celebrities is nothing to Claire. She gets in, gets the information and gets out. She walks into the interview with Cole with the same expectations but is caught off guard by her interest in him. He is just as beautiful as his photos boast, but not only that, he’s genuine and kind.
After the interview, Claire walks into her apartment and catches her boyfriend cheating on her with a random woman. She is devastated and quickly kicks him out. In her emotional state, she heads to a bar and gets drunk; when she wakes up, she is in Cole Brannon’s bed with no recollection of what happened the night before. Cole assures her that they did not sleep together and that he merely helped her because she was too drunk to get home.
Claire tries to stay away from Cole and his charms, but he keeps showing up. After vicious rumors are spread in the media about Claire and Cole, Claire is devastated, but can’t hide her feelings.
Another great book by Kristin Harmel. I love the ideas she comes up with because they are always exactly what I want to read. The idea of a regular every day girl having a movie star fall head over heels is definitely an interesting story line.
Claire is a great main character even though there were a few times I wanted to smack her and tell her to stop being so stubborn. I loved her career and I loved getting a glimpse into the world of magazines.
I’d actually really love to see this book get made into a movie…I think it could really succeed!
4.5/5
Great review! This sounds quite good, I'll have to look out for it!
Definitely sounds like something I would enjoy! I'm reading a novel now about a woman who becomes a double for a famous celebrity because they're actually so similar physically and it's hilarious. I love getting a peek at the Hollywood lifestyle! It's called Just Like Me, Only Better — will probably finish it by the end of the week!
I wouldn't have picked up this book based on the title or cover, but your review really makes me want to read it! And the so the to-read list increases again 😉
I've gotta admit, I probably would have passed this one by…but your review has convinced me that I need to add this to my TBR list, because it sounds great! 😀
