STAR OF HIS HEART by BRENDA JACKSON

Drop-dead gorgeous Ethan Chambers is Hollywood's most eligible bachelor. And he's just gotten an offer he can't refuse: a starring role on TV's newest hit drama. But the show's sultry makeup and wardrobe director has his pulse racing—and is making him think twice about staying single.

Getting the gig on Paging the Doctor has thrust Rachel Wellesley into the unwelcome glare of the spotlight. So when Rachel starts falling for the show's sinfully sexy star, she knows it's time to get her own heart checked. As the cameras roll and her creative visions come to life, will Rachel finally be ready for her close-up—with the man of her dreams?

SING YOUR PLEASURE by A.C. ARTHUR

Charlene Quinn has just landed a major contract with L.A.'s hottest record label. Even more thrilling, she'll be laying down tracks with none other than Akil Hutton. Despite Akil's gruff attitude, Charlene finds herself powerfully attracted to the driven music producer….

His shy, innocent new client isn't Akil's usual type. But with her celestial voice and voluptuous body, Charlene is headed straight for Akil's heart. But the powerhouse producer's holding tight to secrets that may drive his new protégée away. What will it take to keep the angelic singer in his arms forever, long after the last sweet, sensual note fades away?

Reviews

[Dorel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think Sing Your Pleasure was better than Star Of His Heart. Star Of His Heart had too much background & moved to slow. I felt sorry for Rachel. Sing Your Pleasure I liked how Charlene pursed her dreams & stayed true to herself. I felt sorry for Akil. I liked the ending. This was an okay set to read.

Yes!

So relatable. Very romantic but real. You could feel what the characters were feeling. Awesome read. Can't wait to read the next book.

Rachel Wellesley has lived my life (behind the scenes) and then gets thrust into the limelight with a drop dead gorgeous doctor. And we know what happens after that with Brenda Jackson. Love the plot and the story line.

Love both stories, "Star of His Heart" by Brenda Jackson and "Sing Your Pleasure" by A. C. Arthur. Two women (friends) who find fame and true love.

The second story in the book doesn't make you want to vomit as much as the first.
