★★★★★ "Readers who love the 80s/90s nostalgic era and maturing "broken" characters will be captivated with the characters, the plot, and the unforgettable era of the 80s/90s - the good, the bad, and even the ugly side of things. Jess and Cal's story is an indelible ink that seeped into my subconsciousness. I felt every cheer in their triumphs and shed every tear in their disappointments." - Currant7_Recommends
Some scars go further than skin deep...
1988 doesn't end well for me. In just one week I turn thirty, get fired from my day job, and lose the role of Ophelia to a younger actress. But Jessica Abraham does not give up on her dreams without a fight, and I manage to score a part at a theater outside Boston.
But when I learn that my costume could be taken from Cosmo's Don't columns, I'm not so sure this career move will work, because I won't be able to rely on my carefully managed physical charms. Only my craft will count.
One night, with my confidence at its lowest and with snow lengthening an already long commute, the soothing voice of a radio DJ is the only thing keeping me together. Making it home just in time to win his trivia contest begins a nightly ritual, where I call just so he'll know I'm home safe. The more I learn about him, the more I want to know.
I just wish he'd agree to meet me in person.
In this heartfelt, slow-burn, sweet and sexy, Beauty and the Beast inspired tale, it may be the end of a decade, but it's the beginning of a love story.
