Love on Main #4
Love on Apollo and Main
He takes care of himself. She takes care of everyone else. Can they learn how to take care of each other?
I never thought that, while running from reporters, I’d run into the girl of my dreams.
I never thought I’d hold my dream girl captive in a cafe bathroom either, but here we are.
After a harrowing escape, I certainly never thought I’d see Lily again. The one girl in the world who has no idea I’m Hollywood star, Apollo Christiansen.
When the paparazzi come knocking at my apartment door, it’s Lily Carmichael to the rescue.
Now, we’re roommates. And the oddest of couples.
I've only ever taken care of myself. She’s always taking care of everyone else.
As a willing captive in her house, all of that is about to change.
And it turns out the girl who has no idea who I am, knows the one thing about my past I hoped no one would remember.
This is a steamy read with a happily ever after.

Apollo Christiansen is the Hollywood star who hides in Towering Pines from the reporters and paparazzi. When they get too close to his hiding place he's offered a new one at Lily Carmichael's house. Lily, who always takes care of and help others, but forgets about herself. Apollo is determined to change that.
The Love on Main series finishes off with the unselfish Lily finally getting spoiled and pampered! In return, Apollo feels like he can be himself around Lily, and that she's not expecting anything from him. As a famous movie star he's used to everyone always wanting something, but with Lily he almost have to force her to accept anything from him.
Despite being each others opposites Apollo and Lily make a perfect couple! It's very refreshing to see that they talk to one another instead of keeping their feelings buried or letting misunderstandings grow. It's also fun to see small bits of the other couples from previous books!
Love on Main is an easy, romantic series with some steamy scenes, without stepping over the line. But if you feel more comfortable with closed doors bedroom scenes this is probably not a series for you! 😉

Apollo hooked me from the beginning!
I was definitely not expecting him to drag Lily into a bathroom stall in the middle of a restaurant especially since Lily had no idea who he was or why he was hiding. He was attracted to her from afar since they were supposed to meet at a party but then Apollo ended up getting punched in the face so he never actually met Lily. Just heard a lot about her from Oliver and Blue.
Apollo was an intriguing character who has been hiding from the press for a while. Unfortunately he now has to move in with Lily because the press are getting close again.
I loved the chemistry they had from the beginning and how safe he felt with her and in her house. He also could tell how much Lily was taking care of everyone else and working two jobs so he decided to take care of her and cook for her, etc. That was a great quality about him; that he wanted to immediately take care of her and make her realize that she was worthy of love and needed to take care of herself as well.
Lily was a great character but definitely worked too hard. She used to watch this show a lot when she was younger and showed it to her friends on a girls night. Things didn't end up going the way she thought they would but it was interesting to see how Apollo handled it. This story did have drama but I was glad that they could communicate and it didn't become a super big deal.
I also enjoyed reading about the rest of the couples from the first three books. I love when authors include past couples in recent stories so you know what the future holds for everyone.
The ending was perfect for Lily and Apollo and even for Blue and Oliver. Plus Mr. Davis was a pretty cool guy!

Apollo has never wanted to take care of anyone other than himself, but when he meets the beautiful and overworked Lily, all of that flies out the window. He met her when he was trying to escape the paparazzi, and when he left, he never thought he’d see her again. But when he and Lily become roommates due to surprising new circumstances, Apollo is determined to make her his.
Okay, so I absolutely adored this book!!! It was quick and fun to read, and of course deliciously steamy. I read the whole thing in under two hours, and I loved every second of it! I was intrigued by Apollo from the very first scene, and definitely grew to love him. I love how he was willing to do anything to prove to Lily that he wanted her and was there for her.
As for Lily, I wanted to give her so many hugs. She’s so sweet and selfless, but so tired and busy that she never does anything for herself. I loved how Apollo took care of her and helped convince her that it’s okay to put yourself first sometimes. I couldn’t recommend this book enough!!!

This is Apollo’s book aka Spaceman, you know Oliver’s famous actor bestie that went into hiding in this little town with Oliver’s help. And Lily aka Lilypop, Blue’s selfless and sweet big sis with a huge heart of gold. Apollo is on the run from the paparazzi that found him, and he runs right into Lily’s work, and their chemistry is off the charts, I mean like fan yourself hot. She has no idea who he is, but he knows her, because he was supposed to meet her once before, but his face ran into Blake’s fist *winks*. Well the paparazzi find where he is staying, so he has to change housing locations, which lands him at Lily’s house.
Safe read, with chemistry to spare, a dirty talking actor, and his Lilypop the object of his affection. These two were perfect together, he takes care of her while she takes care of everyone else. They are the perfect compliment for each other, and I loved it. Absolutely adored these two.
They made each other realize what was truly important in life. A sweet epilogue and hea. Because sometimes you really do get the happily ever after with your soulmate.

We are finally getting Spaceman's aka Apollo's book his and Lilypop aka Lily's story was worth the wait. Oliver helped his bestie Apollo hide from the paparazzi by moving him to a small town. Lily is Blue's sweet and generous big sister who has a heart of gold. Apollo is running from the press when he grabs Lily in the restaurant and drags her into the bathroom stall. Lily has no idea who Apollo is or why he's hiding in the bathroom but he's heard so much about her from Oliver and Blue. Now Apollo has no choice other than to move in with Lily since the press is hot on his heels. Their chemistry was amazing I loved how he saw that she takes care of everyone so he decided to take care of her. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this cute and steamy story to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

I stumbled across Anastasia Austin's Love on Main series a few months ago and devoured the first three in less than a week. I have never been a romance reader, but these books were light and fun and I couldn't seem to put them down! I was so excited to hear the next one was out and jumped on the opportunity to be an ARC reader.
Love on Apollo is definitely the weakest of the series, but that's being judged by a pretty high bar. It's still a cute, fun read full of Austin's signature top-notch steam. I'll be sad to see this series end, but am excited to hear Austin is planning a spin-off series set in the same small town. Can't wait to read the next ones!

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series of small town, big hearted, love-fests. I really hope it isn't the end of such an eclectic group of townsfolk, and we'll read more of them in the future!
In this book, we have the superstar actor and the town sweetheart. Opposites, yet somehow similar (both feel the weight of obligations).
Lily is finally stopped from a course of what would be self-destruct by Apollo. He sees her sweetness and caring nature is pushing her too far, so takes it upon himself to look after her instead! What follows is a naughty but nice read with passion. And a man that actually notices when a woman is doing too much!
Again, Anastasia strikes it out of the park and straight into our hearts!

Love how lily finally gets pampered and taken care of after always taking care of everybody else.
For Oliver it's nice bring in the giving side instead of always getting/taking what he wants.
Both of them learn so much from eachother.
Lily getting more confidence to sometimes putting herself in the first place I stead of always putting everybody else first
And finally a book where there's a misunderstanding and instead of breaking up because someone is hurt, they talk about it.

Absolutely loved this book!! We met Apollo in previous books and wanted to know more about his story. We also met Lily in the previous books and she is the one always taking care of everyone else. She finally meets her match when she runs into Apollo - literally! He takes care of his Lilypop while she lets her Spaceman hide out in her house from the media.
This is a cute, fun story with a nice amount of heat. We get to catch up with some of the couples from the previous books which is always nice and this is a great addition to the series! Definitely worth the read!

Awesome book! If you're looking for a low-key, low angst, positive read that'll put you in the land of the HEA, pick this one up! Lily is a person who sacrifices herself endlessly to do good for others. Apollo must do for himself because everyone wants a piece of him. The two are perfect together, giving one another what they were missing in life, and determined to make it work regardless of the odds against them.

You had me with them trapped in the bathroom stall. Apollo who's fame seems to have missed Lily's radar becomes intrigued by being completely anonymous in her eyes. What follows is a fun and sexy rollercoaster ride that you just don't want to stop.
I received an advanced copy of this book for my honest opinion.

I loved that Anastasia circled back around to Apollo with this novel.
It was wonderful that she took the time to develop who Apollo and Lily were in this world.
I loved learning more about them and even knowing how they connected on a crazy cool level.
Can't wait to see what's next with this author!!

This was another good read in this series of stories from this author. I loved the first person point of view which is always a deal breaker for me. The story was really good. I loved the whole "he's famous she doesn't know anthing about it" vibe.

Total opposites, cute and funny read, with steamy moments between Apollo and Lily.
He takes care of himself. She takes care of everyone else.

Action packed, sexy, fun, engaging and emotional adventure filled with danger, suspense, and undeniable passion... an edge of your seat read from beginning to end and so hard to put down. Really enjoyed the characters I got to know on this journey.

Pretty GoodI e
I enjoyed ready Lily's story. He was the exact type of man she needed. Although I will need a family tree going forward to remember how everyone is connected again. Looking forward to the next story.

Steamy, sexy, and sweet. If you enjoy steamy contemporary romance, you'll love this. Apollo is hot hot hot, and the sizzle between the mains is perfect. The story starts out high tempo and never dulls.
