Review & Giveaway: Laguna Lights by Kaira Rouda


New Release....
Welcome back to Laguna Beach...

Laura Kinkaid’s glamorous Hollywood life is falling apart. After years of reality television stardom beginning in high school on Laguna Nights, her career and relationship with her long-term boyfriend Scott are fizzling out.

Laura decides to go home to Laguna Beach for the weekend to attend a baby shower for her high school friend. That decision – and a car accident – will lead her to a new future, if she’s ready to take a chance at love. 

Paul Dorn’s former life in New York City is far behind him and he’s working in a popular Laguna Beach surf shop when fate brings the most beautiful woman he’s ever met into his life. The attraction is instant and he has an overwhelming desire to protect her. While Paul’s retail sales career is a short-term job for market research purposes, his focus on Laura is long-term.

Will Laura allow a handsome stranger to help her create a future unlike her past, or will the bright lights of Hollywood pull her back to LA?

***Laguna Lights 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 loved the first two books of this series but I fear that this one would not be exciting because I didn't like the protagonist in the first book: she was really hateful. Instead it was an enjoyable and funny read and I got to know a new Laura, much more cute and nice.
Laura and Scott met on the set of the famous reality show Laguna Nights. They have been together ten years and have tried to succeed in Hollywood. But the great success has not arrived and Scott is so changed that Laura no longer recognizes him and above can no longer tolerate him. They know that their story is over. She's alone in Los Angeles, without a job and above all without more dreams to be realized. There is only one thing to do: go back a few days at home in Laguna Beach. Just arrived in town she has a bad accident. Fortunately there is Paul to help her. They start dating and find they are much more alike than they think. It 's time to return home permanently? Paul is the right one?
I love this series, each book is so romantic, easy to read with characters very realistic which is really easy to be able to empathize. Not to mention the wonderful place where everything takes place: Laguna Beach is really enchanting. Laura and Paul are a great couple and it was nice to live the change of Laura: she is no longer the most famous and hateful star of a reality show but a simple and fallen in love woman. 
I highly recommend this book, as well as all the others in this series

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.
