Just a Fan

by Emily Austen

Lillian Harwick, a young woman no different from any other, lives in an apartment in town. Just like most young women, she also admires a man. However, this man happens to be the world-famous actor Connor MacGowan, whom she knows she will never get a chance to meet or talk to, especially since he is already surrounded by hordes of adoring fans and often seen in the company of supermodels.

But by some freak chance she meets the man himself on his way back from a photoshoot, and then begins to see quite a lot of him during the days that follow.

Soon Lillian finds herself actually becoming friends with Connor, as she sees a more personal side of him. Then her ordinary life is completely changed when he returns her admiration with love of his own, even though they are from such different worlds.

But what will Connor's army of fangirls have to say about their idol no longer being single?

Way too slow for me, and after a seriously annoying hero move I was done.

Lilly & Connor's story was very quick & sweet, but the actual book wasn't really a quick read. And the writing was a bit muddled (not bad at all, just muddled). This very possibly could be a European style thing & others might find it brilliant. The cadence did remind me a bit of Betty Neels, and I ADORE her stories. And the heat level is of the fade-to-black variety, which was a bit refreshing after all the steamy books I've been reading lately! : )

So, the bones of the story are of course that Lilly is a normal every-day girl who runs into major-celebrity (& her crush), Connor, a couple of times. They strike up a friendship & then embark on a relationship & all of that happens rather quickly. Lilly is a bit self-conscious, but she's hones about these feelings & Connor is quick to be open & honest as well, that he LIKES her & wants to spend time w/ her. And things are going along fine when suddenly there is a random break up that I TOTALLY did not understand, w/in the timing or line of the story.

Other than THAT, I really enjoyed the story & the normalcy portrayed of their relationship, navigating through his job & fans & the fans SHE eventually gets. And the epilogue is super cute!! : )

Conner MacGowan is the the movie industry's hottest commodity. Lillian Hartwick is a shy checkout girl at a sandwich shop. They meet by accidentally bumping into one another and then forming a friendship which later blossoms into a romance. There are a few situations along the way but nothing serious. This is a story of two people figuring out there feelings towards each other and learning to cope with fame. There are some areas in the book that are a little hard to understand to the dialect. Cute standard romance.
