Goodreads’ summary of this romance novel says this:
“Shelby Springfield has spent the last ten years trying to overcome her past, sanding it away like she does the rough spots on the vintage furniture finds she makes over. But as a former child star, it’s hard to forget a mediocre pop career, a meltdown widely documented by the paparazzi, and a huge public break with her former co-star Lyle Jessup. It’s also hard to forget her other co-star and childhood sweetheart, Cameron Riggs — the one who got away.
“Anytime Shelby has called, Cameron has come running… And then he runs right off again to chase stories around the world by making documentaries, too scared to admit what he really wants. But when Lyle stirs the pot, getting the two back in the spotlight with a home renovation show, Cameron can’t help but come on board….
“Sparks and sawdust fly as Shelby and Cameron film the pilot for ‘Homemade’ and battle Lyle’s shenanigans at every turn.”
This book has all the makings of a really fun rom-com. But I read just 10% of it and found it had a lot of f-words already. When I searched the Kindle copy on the device, I saw the book has over 100 instances of just that strong profanity, so I just decided to cut my losses and stop reading. There was also a scene at the very beginning where a drunk main character gropes the other one.
Rated: DIRT. Tons of strong language and I’m betting some detailed sex scenes.
