Publisher Description
Talented, gorgeous and hopelessly in love, American movie star Mitchell Pyke and Brazilian supermodel Vida Torres were Hollywood's most talked-about couple. They seemed destined for 'happily ever after' – until Vida left Mitchell for his best friend, and Mitchell publicly vowed he would never love again.
Sydney dog trainer Kitty Hayden has never even heard of Mitchell Pyke. Still reeling from the loss of her mother, Kitty is too busy cleaning up the various messes made by her indolent younger sister, Frankie, and trying to find a girlfriend for her terminally single best friend, Adam, to keep up with celebrity gossip.
When her work takes Kitty to Mitchell's movie set, their worlds spectacularly collide. The chemistry between them is undeniable – and it's not long before Kitty is turning her life upside down to be with her leading man. But as Kitty quickly discovers, when someone as famous as Mitchell Pyke tells the world he'll never love again, the world listens. And the vindictive Vida is never far away. With constant reminders that she's merely a consolation prize, how can Kitty compete with such a tenacious adversary – especially when she starts to suspect that Mitchell isn't over Vida after all?

Kitty is slightly neurotic
It read fine and I love the dogs however I feel that Kitty and Mitchell didn't have enough depth as characters. Kitty started out really well as a person who knows her mind and is a strong female lead - then she descends into this neurotic wallflower personality for a good portion of the book. She seems very one dimensional and only seems to grow a backbone towards the last chapters but as soon as Mitchell comes back into the picture she becomes some damsel again. Mitchell also feels like a Ken-doll perfect type of guy but doesn't seem to have any further depth of character; I feel he doesn't work hard to keep their relationship going - everything just falls easily in his lap when we know relationships aren't like that at all.
Frankie was the only character that developed in the entire story and I enjoyed reading about her even though she was mostly in the background.
It was a fine read however a bit disappointing because there was an opportunity for the characters to be so much more.
Such a sweetheart
Highly recommended for romantics at heart. It makes you want to swoon afterwards.
