Blushing (Entangled Embrace) (The Brightside) - Katie Delahanty

 This is book # 2 in The Brightside series by Katie Delahanty.  Berkeley Dalton and Olivia Bloom's story is fantastic.....and totally complicated.  They are engaged to be married but the contract to make his new movie states that no one can find out.  The fine for the reveal is a million dollars!

 

Berkeley is very much in love with Olivia.  He wants her with him all the time.  He offers her a position of assistant to the assistant costumer on the set of his new movie.  Well the title is something like that.  Olivia is so excited for such an opportunity she leaves her great job designing lingerie for this chance and to be closer to her fiance'.

 

Liv and Berk are serious about one another but there are other forces at work against them.  Ex-girlfriends, paparazzi, publicists, contracts, pretend friends and more! 

 

Liv starts to have doubts.  She never sees Berk, and when she does he is really good at pretending he does not know her!  Berk on the other hand has so much going on.... and he starts to regret taking time away from his music career too.  What should a rock star do?

 

Liv also has a new love interest.  One who wants to see her in his future and asks her out repeatedly.  Berk is not sure he can stop the doubts either.  Is there too much there to come between them?  Add in fanatical family and it just seems like too much?!  

 

I think true love will win this time.  Berkeley and Olivia have so much energy and sparks fly when they are in the same room.  This book can be read as a stand alone story but I feel it is a better read if you can get your hands on the first book, In Bloom from The Brightside series.  There is so much more to the other characters and it is worth the read.  I cannot wait to see where the author goes for the next book!!

 

Beware the surprise ending and one should totally enjoy the sizzle that literally jumps out of the book to the reader.  The chemistry for these two is huge!  I willingly give it 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
