Inner Diva
Life has been full of pain and disappointment for Carlos, a hot, brooding Hispanic man – his father and brother dying in a car accident when he was in his teens, a broken engagement when the woman he loved chose her career over him, his less-than-stellar scholastic results. Now, he’s grown up and recognizes his family responsibilities to his mother and sister, while trying to overcome the consequences of a violent past.
Monica grew up in her sister’s shadow, but now she's striking out on her own to make a difference in the world. She volunteers to be a Big Sister and gets assigned to Carlos’ little sister. But more than anything, her dream is to be an actress. Frequent daydreams about being an actress on the red carpet get her into trouble in her real life. She’s accustomed to working backstage, but now’s her time to shine in the spotlight.
Theirs is an unlikely pairing, but can they make each others' dreams come true?

About the author
Laurie Larsen
43 books102 followersBeachy, heartwarming and inspirational, Laurie Larsen's love stories contain a bit of faith in addition to the Happily Ever After. Her beloved Pawleys Island Paradise series gained fans, not only because of the stories and unforgettable characters, but the "arrogantly shabby" real-life island setting.
A multi-award winning author, she's won the EPIC Award for Best Spiritual Romance, the Illumination Book Award for Inspirational Romance Fiction and the eLit Award for Religious Fiction.
Laurie began her writing career back when she was juggling a challenging day job in Information Technology Management. Bewildered as to how an English major who loved to read discovered herself in a highly technical career path, writing became her creative release. Because "all good things come to those that wait," her reward finally arrived: retiring from the day job, moving to the beautiful South Carolina Lowcountry and writing novels full-time; at least, in between lathering on the sunscreen, walking the beach, and entertaining her feisty rescue pup, Weezer.
A member of Romance Writers of America for fifteen years, now, she's the President of an American Christian Fiction Writers chapter. She's lived her own Happily Ever After for over thirty years.

This is a well written, fun, upbeat romance. Monica not only finds her inner strength but finds true love too. A great read for the beach or vacation!
