Entanglements

by Christina Robins

Sex, murder, small town politics, and big city dangers are all getting closer and closer to wrecking the facade Serena presents to the world, and the connection she’s making with the unexpected love of her life. But she’s too tough to give up without a fight. Serena looks glamorous, like she has it all together, from the outside looking in. It’s true this redhead is gorgeous, and she does have a thriving business and all the possessions she could ever want. But underneath all of that Serena has darker secrets that could blow up her seemingly-perfect life. In walks Simon Timmons, a handsome once-small-town-boy grown up and turned famous-movie-star. But the world of celebrities and money that flows like water isn’t quite what he expected it to be. Simon is disillusioned, lonely, and all out of trust. But then he meets Serena, in the true crime section of a bookstore, and she’s the breath of fresh air he didn’t know he was drowning without. Soon he’s falling harder for her than he thought he could, for anyone. Serena and Simon’s lives intertwine quickly, and for a while it’s all rose-colored. But then real life starts to creep in to their love affair. Undercover cops threatening to expose Serena as a high-end escort, the family problems she ran away from years ago, Simon’s stalker and addict co-star, and hardened criminals are all set on splitting these two up. They want to make it work, but the world seems set on not giving these two a break.

[Shirley · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fun novella mixing sex and suspense and not a little heartache. Serena had a childhood full of loss and sadness. She learned that she had to rely on her wits and beauty to survive. But she knows she deserves a better life. A surprise romance is the catalyst to starting her life again but on her own terms.
