When Alice Met Her Favorite Movie Star in an Elevator

By Annalisse Mayer

With When Alice Met Her Favorite Movie Star in an Elevator, Mayer invites you to curl up in your armchair and join her in her private escape: a fantasy life full of romance and personal fulfillment. When Alice... departs from the usual premise that romance only occurs between young people or that only young people are interesting to read about. Middle-aged people, too, have dreams and passions. One of Annalisse Mayer's dreams is to meet and get to work with her favorite movie star. When Alice... allows you to explore this dream with Mayer, following the working relationship into both an offbeat love affair--not at all for the prudish--and an insightful view of how a dream career can become chronic overwork. This book was inspired by some of Annalisse Mayer's personal fantasies about a real movie star. Maybe, when you're reading this, you'll guess who he is; however, his name has been changed to emphasize that this could be any movie star, including your favorite. Annalisse Mayer has an ongoing interest in disorders on the autistic spectrum, because of her own family experiences. True to her interest, she has added two characters in this novel who are on the spectrum. Learn more about such people, by enjoying their interactions with the heroine, Alice, and her movie star, Gem.

Ooo -- I just loved this romantic fantasy

I just always fantasize about meeting my favorite movie star somewhere unexpected. This was exactly up my alley.In this book, Alice Martin meets her favorite movie star, Gem, in an elevator. Then they get stuck in a black out. Alice gets injured escaping from the elevator and Gem gets her to a doctor. During the process she gives him a plot squib for a sequel to one of his movies. He decides it's good enough to go forward with. She writes him a script and works with him on the movie. During the filming, they meet a handicapped child who they end up adopting together. Adopting the child together leads to a lifelong friendship and collaboration. Alice writes and directs more movies for Gem. Ultimately, he becomes interested in her. The romantic part starts about halfway through the book.Warning: some of this novel is kinky. It also has humor and some paranormal aspects.The movie plot squibs were really good. I wish someone would make movies of at least one or two of them.This is not your usual novel about physically beautiful young people longing after each other's sexuality. Gem starts out gorgeous, but ends up having serious health problems that leave him less attractive. It is a novel about two middle-aged people who find themselves strongly atttracted to each other, because they are true soul mates. It's not a lust thing.
