Description:
Love isn’t just an act in this captivating and flirty romance by New York Times bestselling author Jane Porter.
Forty-nine-year-old Margot Hughes has lived and breathed theater for the past twenty-five years. After a devastating breakup with her playwright fiancé, she wants nothing to do with the industry. She has sworn off New York, theater, actors—all of it. She returns to her hometown on California’s central coast and takes a job in real estate, where she manages significant investment properties. But Margot’s suddenly thrown back into the theater world when Sally, her friend and boss, who had been restoring and funding Cambria’s historic theater, has a heart attack. Before she knows it, Margot is tapped to take over the troubled summer production of Barefoot in the Park.
But the play is no walk in the park—the leads and director have all quit, and Margot struggles to find new actors…until Max Russo arrives. Forty-five-year-old Max is a former soap opera star turned rugged cowboy on TV’s most popular western series. Max has a huge following and is the perfect hero to step up and save the play, provided Margot stars opposite him. Although adamant she would never return to theater, Margot enjoys the long hours of rehearsal with a professional like Max, who is charming, witty, and passionate. But when the curtains close, can Margot allow herself to fall for Max when he represents everything she left behind?

My Review:
I really like this author her books always feel so wholesome and down to earth so I was excited to grab this book and it did not disappoint. The word that came to mind when first started off reading it was refreshing, so many other books you find this immature feel to it and that was not the case with this one. I feel like the author did such and amazing job capturing each character from the main ones to the others who make appearances in the book. I felt like one big family to be honest right from the start. I liked Margot while she knew what she wanted to still put other before herself and had the biggest heart. Max while we all have demons in the past we fight was seemed more like it was better left in the past until it wasn't. He to had a huge heart for those he loved you just had to get beyond the wall. Overall this was a really fun book with some fun twist. This book does have some sexual content so may not be suitable for all.
