The Truth About Fame

GIVEAWAY
SHILOH, TONI
THE TRUTH ABOUT FAME

My life has always been in the spotlight. Born to two famous parents and then quickly rising to "super" status in the modeling world ensured that I, Astoria "Tori" Bell, would always have my image plastered across newsstands. Unfortunately, adoring fans weren't always magananimous and now I have a stalker on my hands.

Oddly enough, the tall, dark, and all-too handsome bodyguard hired to protect me seems more harmful than the threatening notes from the stalker. As well as his plan to flush out the danger by proposing a fake engagement.

The lines between pretend and reality blur and I have to shore up my resolves. Baggage from my past means I can't let myself be vulnerable. but the way Marcel Fox treats me has me thinking otherwise.

With a new rock on my finger and the man who put it there by my side, happily ever after seems like a possibility or is that as fake as my public persona?

My Review:

Squuueeeee!!! I couldn't wait to continue Toni Shiloh's Faith and Fortune series after I read the first one last week. I already had a sneak peek at the Fox/Tori dynamics and a plot line involving a bodyguard is always a lure for me. I gobbled this one up in an afternoon and am still giddy over the banter and toe-curls. 

I mean, a pretend romance that sizzles and sparks its way through the mounting tension of a lethal stalker?! Yes, please! Fox is swoony, Tori is spunky and I love that her besties have her back. And the addition of  Fox's gran, Miss Etta, brings an extra richness to the story, especially where Tori's struggle with trusting the Lord comes in. Nothing like a wise woman's sage words to pierce a rebellious heart.

"You see, Tori, you don't need any defenses. The Lord will be  that for you and more, If you just let Him." (p 106)

I love a story that challenges me to live my faith and Toni Shiloh has delivered another realistic rendering of one woman's faith journey.

Now I just have to get my hands on the last (sob!) book in this series, The Price of Dreams, because I need for all three besties to have their worlds -- and hearts -- put right. Already anticipating a romantical bibliophile love-fest of epic proportions. :-)
