Review: Hidden Hollywood

Hidden Hollywood Hidden Hollywood by Kylie Gilmore
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Claire Jordan is a Hollywood actress, filming the first of a trilogy of films (think FSoG) financed by her own production company. She has bonded with the author and joined her book club, something she never thought she would do, finding friends among the very different women she meets there. She can't find love and now she needs the world to believe that she and her co-star are an item to generate publicity for their film.

One of the book club members, Hailey Adams, is a wedding planner who wants to pair off all her friends, she offers to set Claire up on a date with her 'go to' guy for first dates, barman Josh Campbell (who is also a brother of one of the book club members), she can be incognito as 'Hailey's friend Jess' with a wig and contact lenses. Josh's identical twin Jake is a billionaire tech CEO, he and Josh agree to a twin swap like they did when they were kids. He will go on a date with Hailey's friend Jess while Josh goes on a date with his frenemy Hailey.

What is supposed to be a safe date with a gentleman turns into a steamy one-night stand, unfortunately 'Josh' wants another date, but the more she spends time with him the less Claire wants to pretend to be Jess.

This started out as a sweet actress pretends to be normal to date a normal guy, even if the guy isn't really normal himself, romance. Unfortunately, once Jake stopped pretending to be Josh he turned out to be an arrogant man who was too self-centred to understand that Claire needed the world to believe she was dating her co-star, he deliberately acted without even consulting her and jeopardised her career and her life savings. He didn't ever say sorry.

If you like bossy men then this is for you.
