Title: Hello Hollywood!Publisher: Revell
About the Book: Athena Pappas is the head writer on Stars Collide, one of the most popular sitcoms in television history. But when Vegas comedian Stephen Cosse is brought in to beef up the show's suddenly sagging ratings, she starts to worry about her job. Sparks fly as the competition -- and attraction -- between the two writers heats up. Athena has never had a problem writing the romances of her characters. So why is her own love life so hard to script?
With humor and a Hollywood-insider viewpoint, Hello, Hollywood! delivers lots of laughs as Athena and Stephen discover that not being in control of the ploy of their lives might just be the best thing that ever happened to them.
My thoughts: This was a very lighthearted book and quick to read. I believe it is the second in a series, but, as I have not read the first one, feels it reads well as a stand alone also. I didn't feel as closely connected to these characters though, as I did with her characters in the Weddings by Bella series.
Athena is the head writer on a sitcom, and even though she is head writer, she doubts her abilities. When they bring on another writer for a new perspective, it makes her doubt herself even more. In spite of this, she finds herself attracted to the new writer. With her low self-esteem though, she doesn't feel he would want anything to do with her. Though they can write humorous romance for the show, their own romance doesn't follow any script.
The story has a lot of secondary characters that fill out the ensemble, including her cowriters, her family, and even an adopted dog. Though it wasn't one of my favorites, I did enjoy the story and the unobtrusive message of faith that was intertwined.
