For five years, Leah has been known as the fame whore who screwed Kevin Grayson, son of Hollywood royalty, as a step up the ladder to stardom and then maliciously exposed footage of their most intimate moments to the world. Only Leah knows Kevin is the guilty one, using the public sympathy to advance his career and breaking her heart in the process.
Leah isn’t naïve anymore. She’s given up on romance, and she’ll do whatever necessary to prove she hasn’t been defeated. So when she needs another shot of notoriety to ensure the success of her new restaurant, at the same time Kevin needs some PR help of his own, she agrees to a crazy plan.
She can fake a two-week romantic vacation with Kevin, pretending to rekindle their relationship for the eyes of the world. And she can resist Kevin’s breathtaking sexiness, even in such close quarters. And she absolutely won’t fall for any of his lies.
Even when they start to sound like the truth...

Oh god. Oh god. Oh god.
For five years, Leah had to suffer from the personal
attacks from the media, malicious teasing from the male population and heartache.
She was painted in bad light when footage of their most intimate moment came
into the world, while Kevin got the public sympathy. She thought it was him who
put it out for the world to see – he ruined her trust. He was the guilty one
and yet she was the one suffering from the consequences. Looking at him, he didn’t
seem to care at all.
As a result, she hardened, built walls around the heart,
gave up romance – anything to make her vulnerable again. When desperate needs
needed desperate measures, she found herself agreeing to Kevin’s PR people and
went on to a crazy plan of them having a romantic vacation together.
For two weeks, they were going to be together, pretending
to put a second chance in their relationship for the world to see. Can she
resist temptation? She had suffered enough for five years, will she fall for
any of his charms again? Will she believe him? Especially when it sounded like
the truth?
It took them five years to be together in one room, five
years to finally know what happened between the two of them – because as the
past will suggest, these two started with friendship, and friendship builds solid
foundation on relationship. When the tapes came out, and everything fell apart,
I was wondering who could possibly THAT heartless and broke the two? Because I’m
pretty sure it’s not one of them. Although it would have been better if they
had just communicated!!! They were friends before they were lovers, they should
have at least talked before they decided to end their relationship. On the
other hand, I couldn’t blame Leah for being hurt and not wanting to talk to
him, after all, he didn’t want to see him at first and she had been the target
of the public scrutiny while Kevin’s career skyrocketed.
But don’t judge Kevin, thank goodness for a dual POV, you
can get inside his thoughts and know that he too was a victim! And he suffered,
maybe not publicly, from the videos that were exposed. The two-week vacation
offered them a second chance once the truth had came out – but what if history
repeats itself? Would he be able to rebuild their past and their hearts? Or would
it would all come down to the drain?
The best relationships are built on friendship, love,
trust, and excellent communication – Kevin and Leah had love, but trust and
communication? Not so much. Overexposed was their journey in to their second
chance, a chance on building their relationship once again. But a relationship
without those factors wouldn’t last. They were older now, wiser, and the
circumstances had made them stronger, it took a lot of thinking, pain and words
of wisdom from a friend to finally see the light!!!!
I enjoyed reading Overexposed – loved their bumpy journey
towards their second chance, it wasn’t easy, it was tough, but the results were
worth it. The make-up sex could burn your readers in its steam alone, the second-chance
romance was pretty amazing, and the characters are just swoon-worthy. The plot,
is pretty much interesting as it is controversial, but it did get my attention.
Overexposed is an engaging read from one remarkable author.
