Her Part to Play by Jenny Erlingsson

Her Part to Play
ABOUT THE BOOK

Desperate for extra income after her mother's passing, Adanne accepts a last-minute job as a makeup artist for a movie filming in her small Alabama hometown. She's working to save her parents' legacy and help her brother, but the money hardly seems worth having to face the actor who got her fired from her last job in Hollywood.

John Pope has made his share of mistakes over the years. But after turning his life over to God and enduring a messy breakup, he's ready to start rebuilding his career. Imagine his surprise when the woman called in to cover for his usual makeup artist is a quiet but feisty newcomer on the set--and definitely not a fan.

Sparks of tension--and could that be attraction?--fly between them, but Adanne hates the spotlight, and John's scheming manager has bigger plans for him than to end up with the humble makeup girl from the small-town South. Can these star-crossed lovers find their way to happiness? Or will the bright lights of Hollywood blind their eyes to what's right in front of them?





MY THOUGHTS.....

It's hard to believe that this is a debut novel! Author Jenny Erlingsson shares the poignant story of a Southern makeup artist's encounter with a famous Hollywood actor when a movie crew comes to Adanne's hometown. This would give her a chance to earn badly needed money for her family but there's just one complication. She's worked with John Pope before and it didn't end well. Can she endure working with him again?

I enjoyed watching a very tenuous relationship blossom into liking, respect, and finally, so much more! The romance is sweet, the chemistry is real, and I cheered for their brave leaps of faith! Her Part to Play is a heartwarming Christian romance!

I received a copy of this book from Revell Publishing. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
