Valleywood #7
The Alpha's Hidden Desire
THIS STORY IS A STANDALONE TITLE -- THE VALLEYWOOD BOOKS CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDER.
A year ago, Alpha Dominick “Dom” Harper made the move to Valleywood to find his way onto the big screen, but he’s only managed to land a few roles in student flicks. To make ends meet, he spends his nights working behind the bar, mixing cocktails for the brash and beautiful. One evening brings him face-to-face with the owner of the newly opened Viper Productions—and an invitation for an audition with plenty of strings attached.
An audition that has Flynn Walker in attendance, the film's omega director—and his mate. Already twisted into knots by the film’s producer, Dom can’t pursue what’s his.
At least, not openly.
Flynn Walker isn’t ready to jump into the sack with Dom, either. Few omega directors exist in Valleywood, and no one wanted to invest in his vanity project except the new production house. He’s not ready to put his career and his project in jeopardy over a man.
Even if that man is his mate.
Can Dom and Flynn figure out a way to be together without ruining their careers and destroying the movie that brought them together?

This was book 7 in the
"Valleywood"
series. Alpha bear shifter Dominick “Dom” Harper is an actor who came to Valleywood to make it to the big screen. Omega bear shifter Flynn Walker is one of the few Omega film directors in Valleywood and Dom is his mate. This was a pretty good read Dom has made a deal with the devil Trevoli Metterhoff producer and head of the studio. Dom and Flynn begin working together on the movie but its hard for both of them. When Dom tries to get out of his arrangement with Trevoli he is threatened with not only not working but Trevoli also threatened the movie. I didn't like Trevoli he was jealous and wanted Dom for himself. When Flynn goes into heat they get out and heavy and they get a little surprise. I have read this author before. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading more books in this series.

I know it says Valleywood #8, but you can definitely read this as a standalone since they're all from different authors set in one shared universe.
Dom is an alpha hoping to make it in the world of Valleywood - the shifter version of Hollywood. He hasn't had much luck, so when an asshole producer talks him into a deal to hopefully help land him a lead role in exchange for a fake-boyfriend act, Dom doesn't think it's too bad of a deal. Unfortunately, the director of the movie is Dom's true mate.
I really enjoyed Flynn and Dom together. I also loved that Flynn wasn't your typical omega - he stood up for himself and for his movie, trying to make a name for himself in a profession that was alpha-dominated.
The bad guy here - the movie producer, really is a BAD guy, and I hated all that he was putting Dom and Flynn through. So kudos for writing a truly villainous character here to keep our two MCs apart.
Of course, love wins and the truths come out, and I loved the ending for Dom and Flynn. Loved the epilogue especially!
I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.

In order to secure an audition, Dom make a deal with the devil aka Trevoli the producer. They are pretending to be in relationship for 6 months to a year. When he knows that Flynn is his mate, he wants to end the deal but Trevoli blackmail him so Dom continues their arrangement. Trevoli ask him to move in with him, Dom agrees.
I just can't stand reading Dom being lovey dovey, flirting and kissing with Trevoli event though Dom doesn't feel a thing but still their interactions are watched by Flynn.
I ended up skimming and just read the epilogue. Reading this book is like a torture! Not a fan of Dom character, he's so weak!
