Hard to write romance when your heart is broken.

And I’m batting zero since I lost my girl.

You know, the one that told me to follow my dreams.

Now I’m working alongside a famous Hollywood director to make my newest novel into a movie, and the female lead has captured more than just my vision of her character.

She’s captured me, too.

I’m no fool. Something is up.

One minute, we can’t keep our hands off each other, and the next, she’s running for the hills.

There’s something she’s not telling me, and with a writer’s brain, I’m thinking the worst.

She’s going to let me in. I’ll make sure of it.

Besides, I’m not letting love slip through my fingers twice.

I am amazed at the impact Piper has had on so many lives. Even ours as readers as we eagerly gobble up the continuing saga of the Casanova bachelors. Thanks to her push, Aaron’s wildly successful novel is being made into a movie. Thanks to the movie, Grace finally has the opportunity to achieve her dreams to break away from her old life and become a Hollywood leading actress. But that old life contains secrets that will be tough to escape. And will Aaron be able to see another woman in a part that was written for Piper? These two have some pretty instant chemistry. I loved watching them both become more than either one thought they were capable of being for themselves. Already my fingers are itching to get a hold of the next book in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.

Okay, Ali Parker has seemingly done the impossible: created a 20-book series (and counting?) that's given a stellar book with each release, and when I tell you that once I started this book I couldn't put it down? I had the dark circles under my eyes for a couple of days after staying up way late reading this, and it was worth it! Loved the chemistry between Grace and Aaron, and the suspense surrounding Grace's "friends" from her past who have made a most unwanted reappearance in her life, just when things are going in a positive direction for Grace and Aaron.

Grace was running away from her past and towards a future she had dreamt about for years. She was a very fortunate and talented actress who had been given the opportunity of a lifetime and was starring in her first role as the lead in a movie. The movie written by Aaron, one of the gorgeous billionaires that was a part of The Casanova Club by the best selling author, Ali Parker. If you haven't read them then you will still be able to appreciate how good a story this book is but you would love it on a much greater depth if you've read the rest of the series. Grace has a secret that threatens to lose her the future that she'd always wanted. But then she meets Aaron and he makes everything seem to be possible. he thinks that she is perfect for the role and is enchanted with her. She is so much more as he gets to know her that he worries that he could lose her from his life when Grace's past seems to have caught up with her. Can they make this work? Do they stand a chance of a life together? Certainly the passion is there, their personalities compliment each other and they can't get enough of each other! A fabulous read that you won't want to put down. It's a real page turner with fun, despair, passion, hope and understanding. I look forward to book 21 with eagerness. I received a reader's copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the 20th book in the Casanova Club series. In this book, Aaron is having one of his novels made in a movie and Grace has been cast as the lead. Grace escaped a bad group of friends that were holding her back and moved without telling them where she went. Her friends, Duke, Cross and Viper were bad news and committed a various number of crimes. Grace was happy to be starting over and when she tried to get into character, the director suggested Aaron take to get a drink to talk about the character. They got to know one another and Grace felt she understood the role more. Aaron was very attracted to Grace, but he was her boss and didn't want things to get messy. When Grace found a note from Duke, she knew her past caught up to her and she soon was messing up at work and trying to distance from Aaron. Aaron knew something was wrong and wanted to help, but things could ruin everything. I loved this book, i loved Aaron. I was so happy Aaron found love, he was one of my favorite Casanovas. I think Grace needed someone to believe in her and show her she was worthy of love. Another good one.

I have had this book pre-ordered so I had to find time to read it and know that I was going to read it from beginning to end. It wasn't that I wasn't interested but life got in the way, anyway, I love the Casanova Club Series that Ali Parker wrote. She says there is another book and I am getting ready to pre-order it so that I will have it ready to be read. It took me two days to read this but it was well worth it. I love Ali Parker books and definitely buy her and her brother Weston's books. This Aaron the writer's story and Grace Hallson. Grace is lead in the screen or movie adaptation of his book "The Lane Behind" based on his time he spend with Piper James, who is now happily married with baby boy to Wyatt in Texas. Grace left a group of friends that were not such a good group, thieves and the like, that she fell in with after her parents died and she had no one or no place to go. This is their story and unlike his story with Piper, he does get the girl. She heals his heart and he helps to release her from the group of friends she is running from. I would highly recommend this book and I look forward to the next bachelor's story. It is always so entertaining to read about these the Casanova Club Men.

This is book twenty in The Casanova Club Series and it is Grace and Aaron's story. Grace ended to leave her troubled life behind and get away from the people that could mess everything up if they knew that she was going to Hollywood to start a new one as she had got the part main part in a movie which was what she always wanted and she hoped that everything would go according to plan but what happens when your old life comes back to haunt you. Aaron is a famous author and his latest book is being made into a movie which he was looking forward to the whole process and he hoped everything would go according to plan. When Grace and Aaron meet on the set there was a instant attraction between them and the more time that they spent together the stronger there feelings towards each other grew but what will happen when the film in is over and Grace has all her secrets revealed, will she come out stronger and deal with her past and the danger that has followed her from the people of her past and what will Aaron reaction to everything that has happened. Wow I absolutely love this book as it was a real page turner that I couldn't put down as it was so addictive. Ali Parker is an amazing author and writer and I definitely recommend you read this book, series and other books by her and you will definitely not be disappointed as she certainly knows how to keep her reader's attention and on the edge of their seats while reading her books.

I received a free copy of the New York set steamy novel Grace: Aaron’s Girl: The Casanova Club Book 20: Aaron and Grace by Ali Parker and this review was given freely.
Interesting characters fill the pages of this easy flowing and at times tension filled battle of right vs wrong combined with a fast paced romance which contains a touch of steam, glimpses into the life of an author blended with scenes involving the dynamic movie production crew.
Fledgling actress Grace Hallson naively believes she can secretly leave her life of poverty and thievery behind when she receives the lead female role of Penny in world renowned author Aaron Morris’ The Lane Behind only to have her peace and security shattered when publicity photos bring the now angry gang to her front door.

GRACE. ALI P

What a great love story with lots of suspense tossed in. Definitely 5+ stars.
Grace has endured several tough years and got herself involved with 3 very unsavory characters. She manages to escape them and begins to live a life that only dreams are made of in the film industry until these former “friends” find her and come to haunt her.
Aaron, a writer and one of the Casanova’s, is a good man and the writer of the film. He and Grace are drawn together but her insecurities loom large and her nightmares become reality.
This is one of those books you can’t put down until the last paragraph has been read. This is one of Ali’s best books! Don’t miss it. I received this as an ARC and am leaving this review voluntarily

Aaron knew he never had a chance with Piper, but it still hurt. Excellent, excellent book. You just love the way their love is just so perfect. Like it was destined in the stars. Aaron‘s latest book is being made into a movie and as in typical Hollywood fashion, Aaron falls hard and deep for the lead actress, Grace. He goes for friends, but that quickly escalates to the kind of connection he had with Piper that he didn’t think he would ever have again. Grace and Aaron can be their selves with each other, totally understanding, totally forgiving, and loving each other like there is no tomorrow. Really fantastic book. Your heart will be pumping throughout just waiting to see what happens next. I loved it.

You'll love Aaron and Grace's story. He's a well known romance writer whose heart was broken since he lost the love of his life. He didn't think the hurt would ever heal until he found the cure in a beautiful actress named Grace. She created a spark in him that he hadn't known for years. One minute they're practically glued together and the next she's gone. Secrets galore and some angst. Well written as typical with Ali Parker. The story line grabs your attention right at the beginning and the book's hard to put down. A great story with great characters and did I say an HEA. I read an advance copy via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.

Grace walked out on her troubled past and into a leading role in a up and coming new movie. Aaron is the author of the book and movie script (screenplay). This is #20 in The Casanova Club. You really need to read the books before at least Aaron's with Piper to know Aaron's backstory. The books are very much entwined that it's hard to read one as a standalone but each one is a HEA and they are easy reads. I loved this story of Grace and Aaron. It was painful in the beginning watching them trying to get to know each other, but then some things happen and life gets very interesting.
Great book Ali. 💜

Although Aaron wasn’t successful in claiming Piper’s heart she gave him the inspiration he needed to turn his book into a movie. He didn’t believe that he was ready to give his heart to another until he meets Grace.

Grace is trying to ensure that her past stays where it belongs as she gets her fresh start. Being cast in the movie based on Aaron’s book is the break she was looking for. There is no denying the chemistry and connection between them but due to both their pasts let the complications begin.

Great characters and a storyline that doesn’t disappoint will draw you in from beginning to end.

Grace, book twenty, and a continuation of the popular Casanova Club series follows aspiring actress Grace Hallson and our favorite writer Aaron Morris. When Grace gets the opportunity of her life to star as the lead actress in a new movie written by Aaron, the sparks begin to ignite while Aaron begins to become enchanted by the blonde haired beauty. Grace has been hiding a secret, something so big that she feels it could ruin everything she is starting to build for her future. But what happens when her past eventually catches up to her? Will Aaron and Grace still be able to move forward when her past threatens everything?

A beautiful romantic story! Grace gets the chance of a lifetime to star in a brand new movie. Unfortunately her past intrudes on her happiness. Having lost both her parents at 19, and totally alone, she falls in with a bad bunch of people. She tries to leave them behind but they don't take that well. Aaron is the author of the book being made into Grace's movie and he is attracted to her but he suspects she is hiding something. Wonderful characters! Grace is afraid to trust Aaron and terrified of her past destroying any future she might have with him. But Aaron is such a sweetheart and stays by her through thick and thin. Great story, great series. Loved it!!

I've enjoyed this whole series, even though I'm not a huge bachelor/bachelorette fan. It all started with Piper and her twelve eligible bachelors. Now she and Wyatt are living their HEA and one by one the remaining bachelors are finding their HEA. This is Aaron's turn with up-and-coming actress, Grace. She comes with more than her share of baggage that could upend it all. Will she push him away or let him in and give him her trust? This is a sweet romance with danger and drama thrown in for good measure. Looking forward to seeing which bachelor will get his HEA next.

Ali Parker has added another wonderful addition to the Casanova Series. The characters are well written and well defined through the book. Grace leaves the past in the hometown and moves to Hollywood to star in a movie. Aaron is the author of the book the movie is based on and Grace is one of the actors. They have instant attraction that pulls you in and you go on the rollercoaster ride with them. When the movie is released and Grace's secrets are revealed, will Aaron still want a relationship with her?

Another great read about the Casanova Club.

I love reading about the guys and what they are up to.

This is another one that is a great read. Aaron and Grace meet on the set of a movie that he wrote and she is the star in.

She is running from a past that is not very good for a career in the public's eye.

Aaron is seeing clues as to what is up with Grace. He suspects that she is hiding something.

Will he be able to help Grace? Will Grace let him? Will these two have their forever after....

You need to read this to find out. And you will not be disappointed.

Best one in the series yet

After the death of her parents, Grace was adrift and fell into the wrong group. Thieves that used her for a distraction. She got away from them and won the part of a lifetime in a movie, it could make her life and career. Now to get over what she had been a part of.

Thanks to Piper, bestselling author Aaron has finally followed his dreams and written the book he’s always wanted to. It became another bestseller and now it’s being made into a movie. When he first sees Grace, he knows she’s perfect for the role. Now to convince her.

An exciting romance read

Grace, a new actress running from her past, gets the lead role on the movie based on the fantasy book Aaron, the author Casanova, started writing at Piper’s insistence. As the story progresses nerves get the best of them, trust is slowly built, and when her past threatens her present she may throw it all away. Ali Parker’s Grace is an exciting romance read that contain feels and squeals of joy. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for the five more Casanovas left to find happy endings.

If you read the Casanova series you will remember Aaron, an author Piper encouraged to follow his dream and write his book. Well, that book is now being made into a film and Grace, a newly discovered actress has landed the leading role. During filming she and Aaron become close but she's keeping something back, she's running from her past.

Over time they begin to trust that they may have a future but then her past threatens their future, will she throw it all away? This is an exciting romantic read that takes you high and brings you low - read it to see if they do get their HEA.

This is a brilliant addition to this series.
Aaron's latest book is being made into a film and when he spends more time with the leading actress Grace they start to get close. The chemistry between them is electric and they are great together.
Everything is going great until her past won't leave her alone.
Plenty of drama with a bit of suspense but also so much emotion but can they get their HEA.
A must read with a brilliant ending.

This was another great book in the Casanova series. I really like that we get to see the bachelors again and that we get to find out what is in store for them. Grace and Aaron's road to love is rocky as each of them deal with tumultuous times that create drama and suspense that is entertaining and engaging! Great book! I was sent a complimentary copy and I am choosing to leave my honest review.

Loved this book! Grace just wanted a family. She knew her three so called friends were not that. They were trouble. Finally getting her big break she heads to Hollywood. Aaron was making his first movie. He meets Grace and just feels connected to her. I loved these two. Aaron was a good guy in his first book. But this book shows more of his mind heart and strong love. I am really loving all of the Cassanova guys getting their happily ever after. Can't wait for the next one!

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant.
Loved the storyline between Aaron and Grace.
Loved how he had her open up to him and to him for taking a chance in making a better life for her.
She was so good for him and like all the other Casanova Billionaires he mourned the loss of Piper. He knew deep down Piper loved another but the blow was still hard for him to bear and so I'm glad he's finding his HEA with Grace.

This storyline is filled with suspense, insecurities, chemistry, and a heroine who gets a shot at a new life as an actress, while Aaron is the romance writer of the movie Grace will be in. After meeting on set and spending time together feelings mount, but so does the past. Theirs is a bumpy and twisted path to a HEA. I enjoyed this entertaining book. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

So, I think I liked this book the best.
But I’m picky about anything set around movies and film sets (first hand experience) so that colors my perspective.

Grace was living a hand to mouth life with three others. It was a dead end existence. So her acting gig is a chance to escape that cycle.

Aaron is the writer of the dystopian novel they are turning into a movie. Eight months of filming is excessive. Plenty of set etiquette inaccuracies.

But I liked Aaron and Grace together.

Aaron has written a novel that he’d written for Piper and it became a success! It was then to be turned into a movie and Grace was to be in the movie. This is the big break she’s hoping for. But she has secrets that she wants to stay that way. She meets Aaron and the two have an instant connection. Will she help heal his heart and will he give her the confidence she needs to be a great actress? I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

Wow what an emotional new book in the Casanova Club series by Ali Parker. Grace is an new and upcoming actress with a past. Aaron is a writer who is venturing out into creative waters. I loved the friendship and chemistry between Grace and Aaron. Readers will love Grace with its elements of redemption and second chances, and of course danger and suspense. I can’t wait for Miles’ story.
