Synopsis:
When Hollywood’s sexiest bachelor meets the girl next door their relationship doesn’t follow the script…
On-screen, Christian Slade is America’s favorite heartthrob. Off-screen, letting romance into his life isn’t as easy. The women he dates all seem to want a piece of his glamorous life rather than his heart, and trust doesn’t come easy for him.
Then along comes Lana. A beautiful rocket scientist who’s also sweet, smart, sexy, and has absolutely no idea who he is. But what will happen when she finds out?
Will their worlds prove too far apart or could love really be like in the movies?

My Review:
Welcome to my stop on the Blog Tour for Camilla Isley's latest book 'To the Stars and Back'. I didn't realise at first that this book is the fourth in the 'First Come Love' series but it didn't ruin my reading experience at all which shows that this can be read as a standalone. This was my first read from Camilla and it won't be my last, I most certainly plan on going back to the beginning of the series and I am really hoping Christian Slade pops up in them as I am missing him already!
I flew through 'To the Stars and Back', every spare minute of the day I picked this book up and didn't want to put it down. At times all I love to do is close off from reality (who doesn't?!) and read a story that doesn't require anything from me but my imagination. An easy, fun read with humour, romance and a hot male character, this book did not let me down!
Leading male character, Christian Slade is your typical romcom dreamboat. A famous actor living in LA, you would think he was the luckiest man in the world but not when it comes to love. Due to stardom Christian struggles to trust women who love more the status and money rather than the man itself. So when he bumps into rocket science professor Lana in a hotel store cupboard (don't ask!) and realising she hasn't the foggiest idea who he is, Christian decides to hold back on disclosing his full identity and after departing separately Christian struggles to get beautiful Lana out of his head.
The story is fast paced and it wasn't long before the couple were dating. I loved Christian, there wouldn't be a lady who didn't love him after some of the romantic gestures and dates he pulls off for Lana. But it's not long before the paparazzi catch up with their relationship and his true identity is revealed. Can they still have the normal relationship they both crave or are their lives just universes apart?
Overall this was a fun read which I enjoyed from start to finish.
I was a very happy reader to see the chapters switch between the two main characters, Lana and Christian. I always love reading both points of views although sometimes and in this case it can be frustrating knowing what they both think and wanting to knock their heads together.
A huge thank you to Camilla Isley and Rachel's Random Resources for including me on this fab Blog Tour and for an early peek at this fun read.
