Is it Reel Love or Real Love?
Hollywood
The moment I laid eyes on Finn Parker’s headshot, I knew that if this guy could act, I wanted him for the hero role in the film being made from my book, Fleeing an August Moon .
The tall, blond, and ruggedly handsome actor looked exactly like the picture I’d seen in my head the entire time I was writing the book.
The studio, however, had different thoughts on a leading man.
Box Office crusher, Maverick Dailey, made it clear that he wanted the role. The producers, studio, and everyone involved were thrilled to score such a celebrity. Well, everyone except me.
And it’s my vote that counts since, according to my contract, I get final say on casting. Maverick is amazing, yet I’m just not sure…
It certainly didn’t help that Finn Parker and I seemed destined to cross paths. We ran into each other all over Hollywood. And the more time we spent together, the more the sparks between us flew. We had an intense chemistry, something I’d only ever read about in books like mine.
Which made me wonder, was I really falling for Finn or just living out a fantasy with a red-blooded, live version of my hot hero character?
It’s easy to confuse fiction for reality in Hollywood. Everything is not as it seems in this town.
Not to mention, Finn’s life would forever change if he landed the role. Which made me question how good of an actor he really was? Was he interested in me, or the role I had the power to give him?
Is this Real Love or just Reel Love?

REVIEW: This was a first time read for this author, and I was pleasantly surprised.
A heartwarming story that I think many people will like, Reel Love brings attention to not only what authors can deal with but also actors. I found the connection between the two main characters was steady and moving, something everyone will like.
Frankie (love the name!) was once an unknown author, she published her works, but while she did well she wasn’t a household name. Well now she is with her new book; Fleeing an August Moon that is taking the world by store. Being made into a movie, Frankie is thrust into the limelight of Hollywood, A-listers and drama.
Enter Finn Parker, a not so well known B-list actor who is trying to connect. Finn wants the park of lead in Frankie’s movie, Griffin Chase and is willing to work himself to the bone to get it. Finn looks the part, but will his acting make the cut of the steamy book boyfriend to be.
A chance encounter set Frankie and Finn on a adventure of self exploration, love, loss and love found again.
What I love the most out of this book, was the fact that Finn comes into his own, he learns what he needs in order to grow and become a better person. As for Frankie, Frankie is near and dear to my heart for more than one reason.
Get ready to fall in love, and wish for more!
