Release Week Review: Accidentally Famous (Hideaway Harbor #2) by Marissa Clarke

 

Jack Winston may be Hollywood’s biggest action hero, but he’s seriously burned out. He can’t even save himself from his PR team’s latest scheme: dating a starlet. But when his assistant accidentally tags Cassidy James from Blink, Maine (wherever that is) on social media, the paparazzi decide that she’s Jack’s latest fling. Now Jack needs to do some serious damage control…starting with the adorable home reno pro in paint-splattered overalls.

Cassidy is not prepared when the Jack Winston shows up in her quiet little town—and whew, he is that gorgeous in person. Before she can pick her jaw up off the floor, his PR team is bombarding them with a whole new plan involving “fake girlfriend,” “optics,” and “sign this NDA” (whatever that is). But no one warned her that Mr. A-List Action Star is hot, funny as all get out, and loves old houses as much as she does.

Now they have two weeks to convince everyone they’re in a fake relationship—two weeks that will drive Cassidy’s reno business through the roof and help Jack reclaim his “spark.” The plan is going fine, dare she say, perfectly...until she discovers something that will change everything.

What I thought about Accidentally Famous

An accidental tagging has a whole pile of paparazzi showing up in small town of Blink, Maine to follow actor Jack Winston to where they believe he's got his mystery girlfriend.  But things go awry when Cassidy James, the tagged girlfriend must deal with a fake relationship and her business which is now booming thanks to the mix up.

This was a very sweet, low angst sort of contemporary romance.  Jack has a heart of gold and loves small town life. Cassidy likes Jack and the extra work her fake relationship has generated. So it's all good, clean, sweet fun.  Sometimes I'm just looking for something that doesn't have a huge amount of drama, and this one fit that nicely.

Jack and Cassidy are adorable together and even their conflict makes sense and is resolved quickly.  While their chemistry isn't a huge bubbling caldron of emotion, they are both looking for something they find in each other and I liked that about it.

Overall, an entertaining, low conflict, low steam contemporary romance.
