Hollywood-centric romances aren't really my favorite, or celebrity romances. I've read two by Katherine Center so far and she actually does them in a way that manages to keep my attention. The characters and settings feel grounded and interesting enough that I find myself drawn in despite not being drawn to the tropes of the sub-genre. This one lost me a bit towards the end, but if you want a no-spice contemporary romance I do recommend this and any of Katherine Center's other books. Even when I'm not in the mood for them when I pick them up, they always end up charming me through.
