About the author
Heather C. Leigh
24 books572 followersHeather C. Leigh is the author of the Amazon best selling Famous series. She likes to write about the 'dark' side of fame. The part that the public doesn't get to see, how difficult it is to live in a fishbowl and how that affects relationships.
Heather was born and raised in New England and after spending 15 years in Atlanta, GA, currently lives north of Houston, TX with her husband, 2 kids, and French Bulldog, Shelby.
Heather loves the Red Sox, the Patriots, and anything chocolate (but not white chocolate, everyone knows it's not real chocolate so it doesn't count) and has left explicit instructions in her will to have her ashes snuck into Fenway Park and sneakily sprinkled all over while her family enjoys beer, hot dogs, and a wicked good time.
My favorite authors are Dan Wells, Ken Follett, and Stephen King.
Happy reading!

Contains spoiler
I wanted to love this, but three books of Drew acting like a jackass and Sydney having meltdowns can only entertain me for so long.
The wedding is adorable and so is the epilogue. I gave it three stars because of those scenes, it's well written and I love Adam, other than that it was very repetitive of the other two books. Drew gets mad, Sydney freaks out, drew kisses her she forgives him and so on. I know others will disagree, but I'm glad this is over and moving on to Adams story!

Totally ruined
When you read the reviews that say this book ruins the series BELIEVE it. Syd is just....yuck. Why does anyone even care for this woman? She is a a brat most of that time. She stomps around and argues about her independence... This coming from a character that started out afraid of everything. Let's see, she's stabbed, stalked, pushed around by photographers, yelled at by random women, gets death threats and she STLL wants to whine and run off by herself. I get this is fiction but seriously, this author doesn't need to make her h so annoying. Syd has always been a bratty immature character but it seemed she was acting less stupid in the last book but now it seems like the author wrote another book just to make money but didn't really tell any more if the story. It is literally Drew yells at Syd because Syd acts like a child and runs off to be alone in public because "she should be able to live without people following her" , Syd whines and cries to herself a and is hurtful and b*tchy to Drew then she runs away again "for work". And repeat that same scene a hu drew times and that is the book! Ugh I hate her in this book she isn't tolerable. I don't get why any of these famous men would even like her. She is selfish and leads them on. She is nice to every one else besides Drew. Terrible terrible addition to this story. Let's not forget how she all of a sudden remembers that her baby was supposed to be due and falls apart! Out of nowhere. Its barely been mentioned in the other books really then the author throws it in here for random drama. Stupidity! And the whole thing with Adam? Sorry, she lies to Drew about working for him and then ogles him and then let's him kiss her and its all just swept under the rug and blamed on Adam! She put herself in a position to have him kiss her and Adam gets blamed and she gets a vacation because she's sad about her miscarriage and there are naked photos of her and Drew so the whole in incident is forgotten? This book sucked.

****Updated Review****
I've read over 200 romance novels so far this year. Gotta love the Goodreads Challenge and a smart-alecky friend....
Most have been okay reads; some have been cringe worthy; a couple were so poorly written that I couldn't finish them; and no more than a handful have been absolutely fantastic. These few and far between books kept me up all night, made me laugh, angry, and/or feel pangs of heartbreak. These are the books I have loved, loved, loved and have recommended to others (sometimes nagging them to read the book). As my mother and friends can attest, Heather Leigh's Famous Series has fallen into this category.
Leigh finishes the series strong, with a well-developed storyline and likeable characters.
The pacing was excellent, and the story really sucked the reader in from the beginning. I like how Leigh doesn't bog her reader down with inconsequential details or extraneous plot points. There isn't any filler in her books, and her story focused writing style keeps the reader engaged in her work.
I appreciated that the tension or angst in the story was the realistic problems that two people, especially two famous people, have while trying to maintain a relationship and not overly dramatic crises heaped onto them at every turn. The story didn't read as "fake" or too much.
What I really loved about Extremely Famous was how swoon worthy Drew was. The private, secret wedding was probably the most romantic thing I have ever come across. I read the scene about five times merely because it made my heart feel good. Leigh makes her readers fall in love with him all over again and proves that he is the best book boyfriend.
I look forward to delving into whatever else Leigh publishes because I'm sure it'll be another fantastic read.
This is a perfect "end" to an awesome series...and that's all I'll say until it's released lol
...but I will leave you with this...Drew becomes even more swoon worthy, and he is hands down one of the best book boyfriends out there. Sweetest. Scenes. Ever. Seriously, be prepared to fall in love with him all over again.

EXTREMELY FAMOUS is the conclusion to Sydney and Drew's journey towards their happily ever after. As with the other installments in the series, life for Sydney and the Sexiest Man Alive still isn't easy. And this book is all about Sydney figuring out what's important to her and learning how to deal with everything that surrounds Drew.
Given Sydney's history with the papparazzi invading her life readers can definitely understand why she is having such issues with the media circus that surrounds her relationship with Drew. Through flashbacks, we see how those invasions ripped apart her world. But it's also through those flashbacks that Sydney starts to understand what's important to her. She has a choice: to learn from her parents mistakes or go down the same path. For a while, I wasn't sure what Sydney was going to choose, but in the end she fought for what she wanted. But more importantly, she learned to talk to Drew. To not let his sometimes explosive temper or his schedule keep her from talking to him about the important stuff.
Drew was Drew. An absolute alpha male trying to protect his woman to the point of almost alienating her. His need to shelter Sydney from all the bad (mainly because of his fear that she'd bolt) often caused a lot of their issues, but you knew he was doing it out of love. Sure, if that were me I probably would have been irate, but I couldn't help but love the guy for wanting to protect her. But I think Drew also learned that Sydney's not fragile and he needs to be honest with her.
Heather Leigh gave us the perfect ending for this not so Hollywood couple. It wasn't an easy road for them and sometimes they were their own worst enemy, but the epilogue proved everything they went through was worth it.

Ok, I did something with this book that as a reader, I never, ever do; what's that you ask (or maybe you don't care, but I'll tell you anyway), I interrupted a book that I had already started to read this one. I never do that because I want to focus on the characters and plot that I'm engaged in before starting something new. Now, not to take anything away from the book that I had started, but I had been anxiously awaiting the conclusion of Sydney and Drew's story, so I couldn't wait to dive in, so I did. Of the three, this was my favorite by far. Sydney's behavior still irked me to no end; her inner voice was much more reasonable than her outward behavior, but she has matured quite a bit since book 2. The author did such an amazing job portraying this character, which led to my visceral reaction to her behavior, hence her getting on my last nerve, lol! It was no wonder, poor Drew was hitting walls and sparring in the ring, to take out his frustrations with Sydney's confusing behavior. I loved that we got Drew's voice in the epilogue, and would have loved to have more of his POV throughout the story; yet his voice was a wonderful way to wrap up this story. I am a complete sucker for the Hollywood Hottie romance, and this was a good one. Thanks Heather for this enjoyable series!

This one has a lot more angst and tense situations and a lot more instances of ‘Angry’ Drew – but is also the best of the lot IMHO. Loved it !!!
As with previous installments told completely in Sydney’s POV and continues on with the storyline post proposal. Drew’s busy with the promotional tour of his latest film while Syd takes on her dream project to redesign a 28 million dollar corporate penthouse in Manhattan. But when she discovers who owns the company behind the reno things get sticky. And once again they find themselves on separate continents as Drew takes off on the film’s European promo leg. There’s a lot more ‘he gets annoyed’ and ‘she gets annoyed’ in this one and also more secrets and revelations from Drew’s past. But when an intimate moment goes public it all hits the fan big time. Add in a secret OTT romantic wedding ceremony, the Academy Awards and Oscar after party and a sweet slice of life Epilogue from Drew’s POV to bring things to a very satisfying conclusion !!!
Great carry-through cast of characters, flawless writing, funny sarcastic banter exchanges and an amazingly romantic book boyfriend – and plenty of Steamy – and a 4th book to come re-telling the story from Drew’s POV – prepare for some angry.
* 4.5 Stars *

I got a copy of this book and matching bookmark(both signed by the author-a nice touch :) ) as part of the First Reads program so I didn't read the previous books from this series. However, I still was able to follow the story even without reading the past books. This book was pretty unique had an interesting premise. It really makes you think how celebs have absolutely no privacy whatsoever and the extents they go to avoid dealing with the public. The characters all had their obvious flaws and strengths which made them more likable but I must admit that reading about the extremely good looking and overprotective control freak with a short fuse reminded me of a certain someone from another book...hint hint..does Mr. Grey have a brother? It certainly sounds like he might! ;) ..

What an incredible conclusion to Drew and Syd's story! There aren't enough stars for this series! I'm moving directly on to Drew's POV companion novel. This was a series that I truly hate to conclude. It's had a tremendous impact on me.
While I never read tabloids or watch expose shows, I am aware of the buzzard paparazzi who think because someone is famous, it means that he/she isn't entitled to privacy. This series drove home the point that photogs will go to any length for the $ shot. I've always felt compassionate for actors, athletes, or entertainers of any type who seem to exchange their privacy for fame. I'm so glad that Drew and Syd got their HEA. I just love them.

An endearing and amiable cessation to the Famous Series.
Syd and Drew are just the most endearing book couple out there. They've both had their ups and downs and have come out stronger and more in love than I thought was possible.
i loved how the characters developed and came full circle. The scenes were full of details and nothing was missed. Drew is hotter than ever. The love scenes and sweet and not raunchy.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series and look forward to more novels from Mrs. Leigh.

So I read the first two and thought, ok...they seem to be in a good place. I can stop now. My binge-reading time is up and I need to get back to writing. But, hell...I couldn't stop. I had to know what was next. Oh Syd, I wanted to slap the hell out of you a few times (poor heroines generally take the fall, but Drew is lucky he's hot because he wasn't exactly an angel either). But I can rest easy now...unless I start on the next ones...Ryker and Allie and Adam...shit. Great read by an awesome author!

This is the third book in the famous series and I have read and loved them all. They are well written, with a great story that keeps me staying up late at night to find out what happens next. Drew is a handsome successful movie star and can have any woman he wants, but the only one he wants is Sydney. I love his Boston accent when he is upset, and yes, he is upset often. He yells and screams, when he is angry, but Sydney is his soft spot. Charming story with lots of chemistry between these strong, stubborn, famous characters. 9/18, 9/21, 4/24.

When did Sydney lose herself? She was a very strong willed woman. She took no shit from anyone. She wasn't afraid of people. She meets Drew and she lets him pretty much run her life. Yes the secret is out as to who she really is but good lord 3 books of nothing but her afraid to get out and Drew pretty much screaming and controlling her life.
I was so waiting for the "secret" Drew had and once it was revealed I was disappointed. Seriously what was the big damn deal? Sydney overreacts to EVERYTHING and Drew is nothing but a bully if things don't go his way.

Overall the series is okay. I had higher hopes for it. After the second time reading it, I found the H (Drew) to be whiny, overbearing, rude and illogical. He was angry, abusive and just an ass. Miraculously of course by the end, everything is hunky dory.. the small random romantic things he does don’t make up for the shitty way he was for the first few books.
October 18, 2015
I think this is my favorite book of this series so far. There was lots of drama, character growth and of course romance. The ending made me smile like a loon. I'm looking forward to reading the book from Andrew's point of view next.
October 27, 2014
Awesome ending to an awesome series!! The epilogue was so sweet and I hated to see my time with Drew and Sydney end.
I am anxious for Drew's POV!! Can't wait for that!!

A nice close to this series.

I have to admit I only finished this because I had invested so much time in the first books and figured I ought to see how it ends. More dumb Sydney, more angry Drew. The epilogue was sweet though.

YES YES YES. YOU'VE GOT ME AGAIN HEATHER LEIGH!

God being alpha man I think is hot but Drew is just disgusting.
His anger and violence and controlling is absolutely disgusting.
Not being able to talk to another men would not go with me.
If he were my boyfriend I would call the police because I would not feel safe with him.
And Sydney is just beyond spoilt, stupid little rich girl.

To read this review and others like it check out my site at www.homelovebooks.com
I have really enjoyed reading this series. Granted I read the first three books in rapid succession over a couple of days, but either way I have really enjoyed reading them. I loved Drew and Sydney's journey through the first two books, and can I say right up front that the epilogue in this book made me super happy, I really hate it when we get to the end of two characters' love story and then the ending falls flat, this so did not happen in this book (thank goodness).
So a lot of things are kind of resolved or finally talked about in this book which I think was really great for the final book in the series. Sydney and Drew are still having some of the same problems though, well really one big problem. Being famous and hounded all the time by not just fans, but also stalkers/crazies/paparazzi. And of course Drew is still Drew so he is definitely way more overprotective then he needs to be, so much so I think he's on the verge of driving Sydney away, but at the same time it's understandable why he would want to keep her safe given the events that have happened to the two of them in the prior books.
So things I really liked about this book, well there were a bunch. So first thing I liked is that we finally get to the bottom of that whole Adam/Drew feud. I was actually really surprised by the reasoning behind the feud, but totally understood how it could get to that point. I actually really like Adam in this series, I think he is a good guy at heart, although I do think that he was a teeny tiny bit sneaky in this book, but it worked for me.
Sydney's dad finally makes an appearance in this book, we have been hearing about him from book one, so I wasn't really sure what to expect when we finally got to meet him in this book. What I will say is that I like him, I think it was about time for Sydney to finally make peace with her past.
Another thing I really want to talk about, but at the same time don't want to because I don't want to give it away is the hard time Sydney goes through during this book. She really starts to pull away from everything and everyone, and she totally has a good reason for it, but it was so heartbreaking to read in parts. I could see how everyone around her was feeling helpless as to how to help her get out of this funk she was in. I have to say Drew impressed me during this time.
Overall I thought this was a great end to Sydney and Drew. I really loved this series. I think it's probably been one of my favorite series I have read this year. The author has a great writing style, and the pacing was always spot on. I was always interested in both the characters and the storyline, so without a doubt I would read more of Heather's work. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes new adult books or likes their heroes to be movie stars.

The author has a great writing style, and the pacing was always spot on. I was always interested in both the characters and the storyline, so without a doubt I would read more of Heather's work. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes new adult books or likes their heroes to be movie stars.

So once again I got to Beta read this book, but once it came out I decided to re read the whole series!
Reading it again, I can see why I loved this series so much. It all came together nicely.
Drew and Sydney still had their problems, but they get better at trying to work everything out. I'm not saying that Sydney still didn't annoy me... because she did, but it was something you can look over. That was kinda my only problem with this book. I just felt that it was Book 3, so the series is coming to an end, so their relationship should be rounded up by now. I just thought they were making the same mistakes as they did in Book 1, and it really shouldn't be like that.
Also we FINALLY got to see Sydney and her dad! Right off the bat! And I loved that. I've been waiting the whole series to finally get that, so Heather was smart to prolong it! It kept me going lol.
Anyway this books was great. Just like the other books in the series it kept me hooked. I can't wait for the next one. I don't know if Adam's book comes out before Drew's, but I'll be happy with either one!
I'll be so sad when this series is over :(
