Gage Ryan was a notorious heartbreaker, on screen and off. A confirmed bachelor, this world-famous actor dashed the hopes of millions of adoring fans when he rejected marriage and commitment: no wedding bells, no baby carriages.
He'd never had cause to consider the alternative, but that all changed the night he met rising star, Morgan Kelly. Too bad her first impression of him was less than favorable.
Although their attraction was instant and mutual, Morgan wasn't interested. Hollywood heartthrobs were trouble. Especially Gage, a man used to women who would do anything for his attention.
Not happening.
But Gage knew how to go after what he wanted, and his desire for Morgan was stronger than anything he'd ever felt before. Powerful enough to make him reconsider his previously held beliefs on love and longevity. He just had to convince her of how serious he was. It was a good thing he was ready for the chase.

Get ready for Gage Ryan to rock your world. This movie star has it all, looks fame and money. But he's also a good guy. One that has sworn to remain single. Having anything that smacked of a relationship is not on his radar. That is until he sees Morgan Kelly. One look, that's all it took to change Mr I'm not looking for anything permanant to I want forever. With her.
Morgan Kelly knows who Gage Ryan is. He's virtually Hollywood Royalty. He's also the man thats sworn publicly to never marry or have kids. But actually seeing him in person she is not prepared for the intense attraction she has when she meets him.
Gage is beyond pissed when he thinks that Morgan belongs to someone else. When he finds out that she's not and it's just Hollywood gossip he's all in. But how does he go about convincing her that he wants her. And not just for one night.
Squee! He goes above and beyond. This man and his romantic gestures will have you dropping your panties before you can even blink. He's kind of perfect. And not at all what I was expecting. He's more.
Morgan may have doubts but with her best friend Allie giving her the final push she decides to give him a chance.
But trying to keep a secret is hard all on its own. But throw in the two biggest stars in Hollywood and you've got the making for a true happily ever after.
Just when you think life can not be anymore perfect for these two and along comes the bitch from Hell Kerri Anderson. A woman that Morgan has worked with in the past who is jealous of Morgan's success and will do what she can to get the limelight back on her. It's Hollywood so we have to have one mean girl.
Loved these characters, loved that the drama was limited. There is no cheating. There is no crazy tabloid fodder or breakups. It's just a true fairytale. Romance at it's best written by two of my favourite authors.
The story moved and had me turning pages right till the end. The book hangover I know I will have tomorrow will be worth it. Can't rate this enough.
Oh one thing? The heat factor? OMG, they delivered. A fan or ice water may required. Just saying.
When I first heard these two fabulous authors were writing a book together I knew it was going to be perfect. These two ladies know how to write nothing less than great books and this book right here is a MUST READ for sure. Gage never thought he would get married until he spots Morgan and she makes him feel things he’s never felt before. Morgan was such a down to earth girl and she fell for Gage just as hard. Now, Gage must protect Morgan from someone who is trying to hurt her but will she let him? Trust me guys, there’s nothing but sweetness and love everywhere in this book. HEA guaranteed and totally worth every penny.
"What happened to Gage I never want children Ryan?" I gasped.
"I met you," he answered.
This is instalove romance at its best! Wonderfully light, sweet, and, oh, soooooo romantic. I absolutely loved Gage and Morgan. Especially, how they communicated, supported each other, and made time for each other despite everything going on in their crazy, busy Hollywood life.
"People in committed relationships do what they have to do to make time together. And just so we're clear, you're going to be getting a fuckload of offers now, so it'll be up to me to work around your schedule as much as possible. Don't ever turn anything you want down because of me. We'll figure it out, no matter what."
This ^^quote above^^ makes Gage a keeper in my book and had my heart fluttering and me swooning.
I cannot wait for the next book in this series. Don't worry, this book is a standalone read with an epilogue that will leave you smiling.
What a great start to new series! Ella Fox and Rochelle paige are a great duo of authors separately and together! Gage and Morgan are so good together, i really liked Gage from the moment i saw him! Even if he was glaring at Morgan. It was very insta love which i love and their relationship was amazing. Morgan i liked too, she wasn't what i was expecting, which was quite refreshing. She was pretty down to earth considering she was a actress but she didn't act like it. I really liked this couple together and i i loved the secondary characters too, I'm looking forward to seeing their books come to life aswell. This was a easy read, easy to pick up and easy to get into.
Oh, I don't think you are all ready for Gage Ryan. I sure as hell wasn't. He's swept me off my feet. He's sweet, he's a movie star, he's got money and he's got the looks. He is everything you want in a man... But the downside to that? He doesn't do relationships, he has sworn off them, he won't have anything to do with them... Well, that was until Morgan Kelly waltzes into his life, and everything he has sworn off, and everything he believes in and lives by starts to crumble and his "I never want a relationship" turns into "I need and want this woman forever" but will he get that chance with her?
Morgan knows Gage for the superstar that he is, she knows his views on marriage, kids, and all that stuff in between, but she can't help but be attracted to this man from the moment she laid eyes on him. But
These two were not prepared for the sparks that flew when they meet each other. It was intense, to say the least. Things start to get messy when Gage thinks Morgan is with someone else, well that's what all the gossip is around Hollywood. Would it be true?
Gage needs to show Morgan how serious he is, that he doesn't just want a one night stand with her and that she is the woman for him. He needs to prove to her that she is more and that he has changed, and is willing to let go of this "No relationship" crap for her. But will he be able to convince her that she's the one for him? His forever.
Morgan is smart, she is careful and she knows this could go wrong for her and she would be left broken-hearted. Her doubts are hard to move past but when her best friend gives her that extra nudge, basically telling her she needs to take the risk and give him a chance... But are things ever that easy?
This story was swoon and hot and fantastic. Gage is a ladies man, that is for sure,... The things he says and the things he does are enough to make anyone go weak at the knees. He's swoony, he's a charmer and can talk just about any woman out of her clothes.
I loved this. I really really loved it! I feel like I need more, I want to know more about these two. The author has gone and delivered an outstanding, addictive, fun yet intense Hollywood romance that will have you swoony, weak at the knees, cheering these two on and completely and utterly obsessed with the main lead. It was well written and everything unfolded perfectly in my mind. I can't wait to see what this author got up her sleeve next!
Gage: A Love Under Lights Novel Ella Fox, Rochelle Paige ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the very first page I fell in love with this story. Gage and Morgan are your perfect IT Hollywood couple. I’m not normally a fan of Hollywood type stories as they are so far fetched and unbelievable, but Gage, was like I was living in their lives and world.
Self confessed bachelor Gage Ryan, is happy with the single life. There is no interest in relationships, marriage, children…. Until he sets eyes on Morgan Kelly, the new Hollywood sweetheart setting the awards on fire. The Man oozes power and sex and women everywhere love and adore him but his hardline stance in love pushes most away. Gotta feel for the man, hello every woman wants you, none are gonna get you… Until Morgan. Gage is the opposite to Hollywood expectations, he’s sweet and kind and won’t stop until he wins over Morgan. There are no hills to won’t turn over to win her, including her arch nemesis!
Morgan Kelly is loving the life, she’s up for a Golden Globe award for her first movie and is relishing in the Hollywood lifestyle she’s fallen into. While she’s celebrating her nomination she sets eyes on Gage Ryan. The man is all sexy without the relationship. The perfect hookup and nothing else, but his mixed moves during the ceremony has her nerves on fire. From looks hat could kill, to ice the to freeze you to death and the ones that get her the most… the look of erotic. The man could set her on fire with one wink… but he’s bad news that she wants none of. Sadly that’s on sided and in Hollywood, what the actors want, the actors do everything to get, for Gage, that’s Morgan.
In a slightly stalkerish encounter, gage tracks down Morgan’s address and won’t leave until she gives him a date. Game on, in a race to see who would fall first, Gage and Morgan fall into a sweet love that doesn’t falter. But nothing in Hollywood is easy, keeping their relationship under wraps and away from paparazzi is hell, but they make it work. When the world discovers their relationship, everything and I mean everything is on display. Together they moves forward n the sweetest of stories and certainly not without their own drama, Hollywood style.
Although a fiction story, I could see how much our much loved celebrities must suffer for “that story”, or “ that photo”, meaning I took on a while other way of looking into this great story in yet another way to fall in love With Hollywood sweethearts gage and Morgan.
I’m tired of authors writing OWs as catty. Why do they feel the need to diminish OWs in order to pimp their heroines into the most amazing women there is? I’m tired of rude dickholes heroes when they meet their supposed “one” I don’t care if the book is safe or not. I won’t continue reading it because I’m very much annoyed now! Peace out

WOW, Gage truly was Hollywood themed romance PERFECTION! Such an incredibly feel good, smoking hot and utterly captivating story!
With two of my favorite authors working in collaboration, I already expected an amazing story, so I wasn’t surprised by the quality of the writing, but I so happy with how this duo combined efforts. Their voices mashed together perfectly, whilst keeping they individual touch that make me love them so. Gage and Morgan were so beautifully characterized there was no chance I wouldn’t be hooked from the get go into their story!
I’d finally found a woman who was worth earning, and that was damn well what I was going to do.
Gage was indeed the personification of ‘Hollywood’s most known bachelor’, standoffish, commitment phone in all things love related. Well, we all know what it’s said, about the high they rise, the harder they fall, because with how much he was known for his cold regard towards relationships, it was enough one meeting with Morgan for him to start falling HARD! And I love it!!!
I truly did not expect that ‘forever bachelor’ would end up so enchanted instantly by Morgan, but was all so pleasantly surprised, because not only was he captivating in general, but turned out to be a naturally swoon worthy alpha. All the qualities I most love in out male characters, loyal, devoted, possessive, protective with just the right amount of obsession where Morgan was concerned. And uber sexy, of course, because hot damn, the man had quite a dirty mouth on him. Best book boyfriend right there!
He didn’t just look at me like he wanted me—he looked at me like I was already his.
And Morgan was just as outstanding in every way, her relationship with everyone around her, specially her bff, her ‘down to earth’ and genuine take on Hollywood, and her beauty and charisma coupled with her humility, made it a incredible joy to read, and be in her head.
The way they first clashed, and then slowly - yes, I was pleasently surprised by the slow burn of their story! - built up their relationship and growing feelings, it was heart warming and touching to witness. The slow burn was indeed the best of surprises. So HOT on the sexual tension, but so rich to experience. LOVED every second!
Gage was such a PERFECT coupling in every way, the most perfect main couple romance blossoming from the most magnificent of collaboration duos. With this lighthearted but utterly engaging and masterful storytelling, I have no doubt this creative partnership debut was just that, a beginning of something exceptional literary wise. Not only was this first book a proof of that, but with that tease of the Vaughn and Allie’s story, I can already see how gripping that will be, because I’m already BEGGING for the next story in this Love Under The Lights! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
“I never thought I’d feel like this, but meeting you changed everything and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love you.”
ARC Kindly provided by the author via Candi Kane PR for an honest review
First off I want to say if you love either of these author's as individuals authors you’ll WANT this story. These two could not be better suited for each other with the story line, writing flow, and humor. It's pure entertainment.
Gage is the ultimate book boyfriend and not a character that a reader soon forgets. He's bold and charismatic, sweet and an alpha. He's gorgeous and wealthy and will have readers swooning soon enough. I loved this instant attraction to Morgan and his willingness to do what it takes to make her his. The passion between these two is off the charts! Morgan is awesome in her own right as she is strong and caring, determined and a bit shy. I loved her reaction to meeting Gage and the ride these two took together.
Without spoiling anything let me say this is the ultimate insta love with substance story and readers will devour it. It has everything a romance reader is looking for in a sweet humorous romance with strong characters and steamy scenes! It was much mire then I expected and more then I could hope for. Highly recommended!! I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.
Morgan is a growing actress earning herself some awards and she bumps into Gage sorta playboy (but not really) coldish guy who had been giving her a glare then does a 360 lol only reason Gage was glaring was he wanted Morgan but he thought she was taken but finds out she isn't.. and he wants her and he get what he wants.. dates and movie sets and paparazzi always following them is alot. Now morgan is dealing with a not so wow stalker, more awards.
I love the friendship between Allie and Morgan and with gage.. now i wanna know why Vaughn was being a dick? Or lying to her? Plus her might prego?
No ow/om drama, no cheating, sexy times, Slight drama ,Secondary chara, no virgins celebite 6 months H
Recommend- yes Cover-⭐⭐
Instalove/lust Push/pull from Tiny long distance No condom Older/younger couple Hea Epilogue
Like the Hollywood star that gives only what is necessary and prefers privacy, well Gage is just like that and even more so when it comes to Morgan. Gage sets his sight on Morgan-thinking she'll be like the others yet when it turns out that she's more than he ever thought she would be what will he do. The way Gage tended to Morgan was sweet and sizzling hot!! Can Morgan change Gage's thoughts on having a serious relationship? Or will he let the only woman that has gotten under his skin just walk away? You need to click and read for yourself! Kara~ 4 Sizzling Stars
This collaboration made me SO HAPPY!!!! I love Gage & Morgan's story. From the first page, it sucked me in, interested me, and just kept getting better. There's no unnecessary drama. The way they connect & the way their story progresses has everything I love about both authors' writing - there's the meet cute, which is full of LOL moments for the reader; the way Gage is completely Alpha but also seriously sweet & sensitive to Morgan's reservations. He GETS her, and that makes for a really fun read.
We also get the steam these authors are known for, of course!! ; )
I enjoyed this story A LOT & am looking forward to Vaughn's story because the set up... oooh, the set up!! : )
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. This is the first book of a new series. Gage is known for bachelor status. It is well know that he will never settle down and doesn't want kids. Ever. But sometimes it just takes one look to make you rethink everything. Now he will do the unthinkable and woo a girl. This was a really sweet book that will have you swooning for Gage. Can't wait for more from this series.
I'm a huge fan of these two amazing and talented authors and I'm not surprised that these two co-writing gave a scorching and sexy and just one heck of an awesome story :) Gabe and Morgan were made for one another and I loved how well they complemented with one another, plus their hot chemistry wasn't bad at all either ;) ;) I seriously can't wait for the next story of this series to come out!!
I loved this Hollywood romance! It’s really nice to read a book that doesn’t have a boat load of angst. Gage was so sweet right from the get go and Morgan down to earth. Their romance is a whirlwind to their HEA.
I’m a fan of both authors and excited to see them collaborating on Gage. I’m a sucker for books that focus on instant love and Alpha males who take control in any situation. Hollywood being a backdrop for this novel added to the romance and fairytale.
Gage is your perpetual bachelor. He’s never been one to settle down or take any relationship seriously. I like that he was older and established in his career. When he sees Morgan he definitely knows what he wants. He puts out all the stops to make this happen.
Morgan isn’t new Hollywood but being in a breakthrough movie does have its rewards. She bumps into Gage at an award show and it’s lights out for both. She quickly falls for his charm.
I was able read this book in a few hours as it kept me engaged and invested in the characters but the storyline was relatively one note. There was a bit of drama but you can easily deduce where that came from. I enjoyed it but I wish the authors dug a little deeper with the main characters. There was so much potential in both characters that I wanted more.
Gage is a light, insta-attraction story that quickly leads to deeper feelings. Both main characters are likable and I especially loved the communication that occurs between them. After a run in at an award ceremony, Gage sets out to woo Morgan and 110% succeeds. Both have been with others previously, but even though he's famous for not wanting to be in a relationship, he wasn't a manwhore. There's no other woman drama and no separation. Morgan also has a supportive best friend, who's story is book #2 and there seems to be a bit of overlap between their romances.
Loved Gage and Morgan story. Two actors fall for each other and try to stay out of the spot light. But that’s a bit hard when was is a know for his bachelor ways and the other is the new it girl of Hollywood. Hope you all enjoy their story as much as I have. Thanks.
I went into this book expecting something different, I think, and so my review of three stars should be 3.5 in fairness to the author. For a man who has sworn off romance, I certainly didn't see that other than simply being told it in the first chapter. I didn't see him fight with himself over changing his ways. Maybe I am naive but I found it hard to believe a hot pair of tits and a similar love of sushi turned him from being a skirt-chaser into a committed boyfriend in less than 24 hours. It was pretty obvious he just Needed That One Girl (which is a common trope, I get it), but there was zero internal conflict on either side despite the book stating it as a fight for Gage to reconsider his stance on love.
I guess I was looking for more of a story. As a romance novel, the situations were simple and easily predictable (saw Kerri coming a mile away). Cock, rod, and pussy were definitely used (overused imo) in every sex scene. I got no sense of emotional attachment to the story. (I like to burn when reading sex scenes. I didn't even smoulder. Again, what works for me is different so I'm not faulting the author). Overall: not continuing with the series unless someone comments here telling me it gets better. :)
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Gage by Ella Fox & Rochelle Paige is Book 1 in the Love Under the Lights Series. This is set in Hollywood where the drama is fierce and the passion is electrifying. You have 2 movie stars who desire to be together but don't want to become a tabloid affair. They just want time to get to see each other, know one another without the whole world intruding. Gage and Morgan are the main characters who light up the pages with their insta-love romance that reads like some Hollywood grand romance. I liked Gage- he was suave, sexy , intelligent and full of that IT factor. Morgan is just the woman to get him to sit up and take notice. She is smart, sassy, and curves in all the right places. I enjoyed Gage and Morgan's romance and their swoon-worthy romance. It has all the feels, twists, Hollywood glam, Alpha hotness and sizzle that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
When Hollywood A-list star Gage Ryan sees rising star Morgan Kelly for the first time he feels something the long time confirmed bachelor has never felt before, need to spend time with her. However a misunderstanding has Morgan weary of Gage's attention and she knows his reputation of never wanting to settle down, she is not that type of girl. Gage though knows Morgan is something special and is willing to break all of his rules to be with her, will she trust Gage to give their relationship a try?
I liked this one a lot. Had just the right mix of romance, drama and glimpses into Hollywood life. I really liked Gage, he radiates charisma with every action he takes on the page. Wonderful read, can't wait to read the next book.
I couldn’t wait to see what these two authors put together, having read and loved both of their books I was super excited!! Well let’s just say they didn’t disappoint me. I loved it.
This is a sweet, no angst, insta love with the perfect amount of steam read, and it was awesome. I loved Morgan and Gage. They were adorable together. They both lead such glamorous lives but at the end of the day they are just two people that met and fell in love and it was super sweet.
