Read Roan (Hollywood Binge #2) Storyline:
Anything is possible for the women in apartment 7B. Even the best kept secrets only last so long. Life comes easy to Roan Westfield—big man on campus, college football star, girl magnet, and family wealth too—until a silly, beautiful, enchanting cheerleader takes a misstep into his lap at a citywide pep rally and changes the course of his life forever. Damn fate. In hindsight, he should have let her take the fall. His heart still hasn’t recovered from the deep ruts Presley left in her wake. Goal-oriented Presley Adams is determined to move past her meager upbringing, but life isn’t always easy on her. While she’s had her fair share of struggles, she generally manages to land on her feet, until an intricate tumbling pass goes askew and she winds up wrapped around the gorgeous upperclassman football star. She should have ignored how nicely he cushioned her fall, because the only thing Roan manages to do is leave her devastated and alone to pick up the pieces of her life. Secrets have a way of changing the rules. When California calls, both answer but for very different reason. Now, on a collision course with destiny, can Roan dig deep to find the answers he needs or will the past destroy his one true chance at happiness? Roan is a steamy standalone contemporary romance novel. No cheating. No cliffhangers. HEA. A Q&A with the authors: Q – Where did you get the idea for the Hollywood Binge series? Julia: I love pure romance. Writing romance without a mystery or paranormal element is my heart. I think Hollywood with all its glitz and glam is exciting, but more than just exciting, Hollywood is people. It’s dreams and disappointments wrapped up with dirty, perfect, imperfect, lovely, and disgusting life. Rylie: Well said, Julia. I completely agree. Hollywood is a mindset, a place of dreams and hope, a place for new beginnings and second chances. It’s fast paced, open-minded and thousands of miles away from West Texas. Q - Julia’s male character is a movie star and Rylie’s is a football player, did you focus on a specific type of career for the guys? Julia: I love the idea of old Hollywood, but I didn’t want to write about the past, but the present. Bad boys and their toys are exciting and Cam Harris knows how to get into and out of a load of trouble. I didn’t force the career for Cam, he just kind of picked it. Rylie: What I like about the Hollywood area, no one’s bigger than the area. In LA, sports in general, football in particular aren’t near the live and breathe mind-set like in other places such as Pittsburgh or Dallas. I like Roan getting a taste of being a small fish in a big pond. What’s different for me than Julia, I think I needed Roan’s big attitude lost in the hills of Hollywood. Dark and dreamy is plentiful in Orange County. Not quite so many cheerleaders cheering him on from the sidelines. He’s got to get knocked down a peg or two. Q – What was the most difficult part of writing about Hollywood? Julia: There are plenty of preconceived notions about Hollywood and how the other half lives. I’ve found that Hollywood is more than an idea or a cliché. It’s hope and dreams that mix with real life people who are working hard to make their way in the world. Rylie: Well, Hollywood isn’t West Texas. Getting the vibe down while losing the cliché as Julia pointed out was important. Las Angeles is an eclectic hub of every nationality all packed into one place. I wanted a single-mom to be able to make her living there while not sacrificing her goals - making the book real and relatable while keeping the fun and exciting feel of the area. Let me know if we achieved that goal. **Pages of Roan (Hollywood Binge #2) :
