Review & Giveaway: Laguna Sights by Kaira Rouda

New Release....

Once you're a star, can you trust other people’s intentions?

Scott Cassidy has lived a blessed life. Growing up in Laguna Beach with a loving family, he was discovered in high school when he appeared on the popular reality TV show, Laguna Nights. Now cast as a doctor on the number one soap opera, his star keeps rising. Finally free from his long-term girlfriend, Scott isn’t looking for love, but when a popular dating app matches him with Jamie Kane, he can’t deny the sparks. But is she really everything she seems?

Jamie Kane isn’t lucky in love or life. Her childhood was tumultuous with a single mom who moved to Hollywood for fame but ended up waiting tables in Malibu. Certainly not one of the spoiled kids she went to high school and college with, Jamie has worked hard to achieve her dreams of being an actress, even as she begins to realize it’s not her calling. Jamie believes Scott may be the answer to everything unless a past mistake makes him doubt their future together.

Is the price of fame the chance at true love?

***Laguna Sights can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone read. And if you enjoy Laura and Paul's story, please consider reading the rest of the Laguna Beach series.

My Review

I love this series, I always look forward to a new release. Amazing and charming characters, a wonderful, relaxing and cozy setting, really exciting plots, it is impossible not to love. All the protagonists of these episodes, when they were teenagers, had partecipated in a reality, some of them has continued their career in television or in Hollywood, others has remained in Laguna Beach, and has continued their simple life. The protagonist of this story, Scott is one of those who has had a distinguished career, is starring in a soap opera. After a very long lasting but very unsatisfying relationship, he doesn't feel the need to fall in love but he would take someone at his side with whom to share his life. He meets Jamie and she could really be the right one. But she has had a violent relationship, in which she suffered so much. She loves Scott but fear blocks her. Can she overcome and heal her wounds and believe in a happy and peaceful future with Scott?

The love story is really sweet but painful, troubled, and the chemistry between them is very strong. Jamie is adorable, insecure, weak, gives off so much tenderness. Her life was really tough, she has suffered since childhood. Scott is charming, kind, the only one able to restore confidence in Jamie. It seems that his life is perfect but in reality once the lights of the set off, he is very lonely.

A very romantic and realistic romance, another great pearl by Kaira Rouda. I hope to return soon to Laguna Beach

Highly recommended

Also available
Laguna Nights (Laguna Beach Book 1)

Madison Alcott was back in her hometown, caring for her sick mom and working long hours at the best resort in Laguna Beach. She never imagined she'd return to the place where she became famous on the hit reality TV show Laguna Nights, and the place where she was humiliated on national television. Fortunately, the past had stayed tucked away until her old high school boyfriend appeared in the lobby.

Josh Welsh was a superstar by age eighteen, the bad boy break-out star of Laguna Nights. Since then, his star had lost its shine and he barely was holding onto his Hollywood status. When he was asked to host a new reality travel show, he jumped at the chance. The only problem was the first episode was shooting in Laguna Beach. Of all the reasons Josh didn't want to return home, he hadn't even imagined the worst scenario: running into Madison "Holly" Alcott.

Josh's connection to Madison was still as strong as her anger at his betrayal. When the new reality series forces them together, they must face Laguna Nights past and present, and navigate a journey where nothing is as it seems.
