In this modern-day Cinderella story with a charming twist, a young widow with two rambunctious sons falls for a gorgeous movie star. But can she handle life in the limelight?When Kelly Reynolds’s husband died two years ago, he left her to raise their two young boys. She’s barely pieced herself back together and takes refuge in her routine, running her kids around town and running the trails near their Idaho home.
A chance encounter on a trail run brings famous actor Andy Pettigrew into her life. He’s clearly interested in her, but Kelly hates risk, and a love affair with Andrew is certainly tempting fate. She doesn’t fit into his Hollywood world. She doesn’t own a pair of Louboutins, and she couldn’t walk five steps in them if she did. Andrew oozes cool. She reeks of dork.
Despite this, they click. But Andrew struggles with the pressures of his fame, and Kelly’s hold on a so-called normal life is already tenuous. So as much as she wants to indulge the fantasy, she doesn’t know how either of them is supposed to cope with stalkerazzi and tweet-happy fans with camera phones. Especially when she and Andrew both have secrets that seem impossible to keep…
My Review:
Fix You by Beck AndersonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fix You by Beck Anderson is a beautiful romance that quite possible will have you doing an ugly cry here or there.
This is the second book I have read by this author and her writing style is quite different from the usual style I read. It's not so much that the story is so different, but the way she approaches her characters and their issues is just very refreshing. The focus is much more on the emotion that drives the person to live each day and less on the actual romance. The romance is a by-product of the characters lives. This probably makes absolutely no sense but I just really enjoy the way she brings her characters to life for you on the page.
So, synopsis, widow meets movie star while jogging and having a meltdown over something that has triggered a memory of her dead husband and caused a tidal wave of grief to hit her. They bond, she's not a person for the limelight so despite her attraction to him she is very hesitant, wary and resistant to all that comes with being with him. The depth of emotion that you will feel while they work out their own issues, individually and together) will knock the breath out of you.
Kelly and Andrew are amazing characters that Beck Anderson has brought to life for us and allowed us to watch them for a brief time.
