Reader’s Edyn

I always felt like I could do something more than just read. Finally, I have found both a creative outlet and a chance to do something meaningful with my reading. This blog was created in appreciation of and tribute to all of the authors who have brought me joy through their books. These reviews are my way of giving back to authors and providing recognition for the hard work that each one completes every day!

**BLURB**

Billionaire Jenn Cooper has run her own movie studio for the last 3 years with the utmost success. Everything in her life has been easy due to the wealth and privilege she’s been afforded. Ryan Price is a young and talented manager in Hollywood who represents up-and-coming starlet Julia Belle. What will happen when Price and Cooper try to collaborate on one of Hollywood’s most promising stories to date? Let’s just say that things in Hollywood never follow the script.




**EXCERPT**

“You’re staying over,” she stated bluntly, as he offered her hand in exiting his vehicle. Other than a slight raise of his eyebrows, Ryan didn’t put up any argument.
            “I’d love to,” he answered. He followed her into the house, studying her as she poured them each a healthy glass of wine at the kitchen counter. Handing him his wine, Jenn led Ryan to the living room, and took a seat on the couch in front of the fire where they could snuggle up with one another.
            “Okay, what’s going on in that head of yours, Jenn?” Ryan asked, concern lacing his voice. “You’ve been tense since we got in the car. Did I do something to upset you?” he asked, as his hands gently stroked along her arms, offering up what comfort he could.
            “No, no, it’s not you at all. I’m worrying over this morality clause and what it will mean for us,” she answered tentatively, the vulnerability behind her words only slightly masked. “If anyone hears about what we’ve been up to, it will be a major scandal – and you and the film don’t deserve that kind of publicity. This film means so much more than that,” she said, darting his gaze. Ryan took both his and her wineglasses and set them on the coffee table before grasping her hands in his.
            Looking her in the eye, Ryan said earnestly, “Jenn, I’m worried, too,” his tone reassuring. “You’re not alone in this. We can keep things professional for the few weeks while we’re filming, and we won’t have to worry about any scandal ruining the film.” He kissed her softly on the lips, as if doing so would solve their problems. If only it were that simple.
            “How can you be so sure?” Jenn asked, an edge of vulnerability again finding its way into her voice.
            “I’m sure because I care about you. Way more than I ever thought I could care about someone again.” The intensity of his words and his gaze did not go unnoticed by Jenn, and she felt the air around them ionizing.
            “I care about you, too.” At her admission, his eyes lit up with a happiness and delight, mixed in with a hint of something deeper that she filed away in the back of her mind to explore at a later moment.
            “Good. Then we’re on the same page. We’ll keep things professional for as long as we need. And we’ll make this work,” he said, kissing her again and wrapping her in the comfort of his arms. Jenn drank in the feel of him wrapped around her, his lips pressing slightly to her neck.
            “But tonight,” he whispered with a promise, the heat from his breath tickling the shell of her ear and causing a coil to form deep in her belly, and the huskiness in his voice sending Jenn’s pulse racing, “I’m going to get so unprofessional with you.”








Stepping inside, Ryan was immediately overwhelmed by a very feminine scent, one he realized was coming from Jenn herself. It was intoxicating.
            Jenn rose from her chair and came around her desk to greet Ryan. She was smaller than he had expected her to be; from the photos he had seen and the articles he had read, Jenn came across as larger than life. No doubt, her presence and personality would ring true to that stature.
            “Ryan, it is so nice to meet you. My father has said wonderful things about working with you, and he does not give out praise lightly.”
            Ryan shook her hand, and a feeling of excitement ran through his body. This woman was gorgeous and perfectly put together; and his body was absolutely aware of it.
            “Thank you,” he said, flashing his dimples, trying to gain back some control of his libido. “It’s nice to meet you as well, Jenn. Since meeting and working with your father, I’ve been looking forward to crossing paths with you.”
            “Have a seat. Tell me what you’d like to discuss,” she said as she rounded her desk to take her seat, her professionalism never wavering. Ryan was not shy about taking the opportunity to watch her walk away as he sat down, and he was not disappointed.
            “You know I represent Julia Belle,” he said confidently, settling into the chair across from Jenn’s desk.
            “Yes, and I’ve heard good things about her from my father. It doesn’t hurt that the media is labeling her the next Jennifer Lawrence either. Lucky for you,” she said coyly, in a way that made Ryan she was teasing him a bit.
            “Yes, that moniker has not passed me by,” he laughed. “But, the reason I wanted to meet with you is to discuss Julia’s career. I know you’ve seen her acting work, but what you haven’t seen is her writing. She shared a script with me that I think could be an excellent fit for Cooper Pictures. Female-driven, dramatic, heartfelt, and based on a true story.”
            Jenn arched an eyebrow at him, deducing what he was saying.
            “You want to make Julia the next female hyphenate success,” she said without a hint of question to the sentence.
            Direct and to the point. I like that.
            “Yes. And I want Cooper Pictures to be the studio behind that success.”
            “I’m not in the habit of taking credit for the success of other strong women in this industry,” she countered.
            “And I appreciate that fact. All I’m asking is that you take a look at the script. I have a copy for you here. Read it, and if you hate it, I’ll drop the subject. Although I’d still like to find some way to work with you,” he finished, somewhat flirtatiously.
            Jenn studied him for a moment, and a look of amusement crossed her face.
            “Alright. I’ll read it. But this is all on spec. I can’t make you any promises.”
            “That’s all I’m asking,” he confirmed.
            “I’ll get back to you in a few days. If I’m interested, I’ll have Alicia set up a dinner for us to discuss things.”
            “Perfect. Thank you, Jenn. I look forward to hearing from you,” Ryan said as he stood to leave. Reaching across the desk to hand Jenn the script, his eyes couldn’t help glancing down to catch a glimpse of her cleavage, and he felt his blood rush south.
            Jenn met his eyes across the desk with a smoldering smile.
            “Oh, you’ll definitely be hearing from me.”
