It Felt Like a Kiss by Sarra ManningMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ellie Cohen has a loving, if unorthodox (not in the religious sense), Jewish family and a good group of friends and she loves her job working for a Mayfair art gallery. Unfortunately, she also has a reputation for lame duck boyfriends, when her latest boyfriend turns out to have a scary Class A drug habit she dumps him at Glastonbury.
However, Ellie has a secret, she is the secret daughter of a world-famous rock-star, not that she's ever seen or spoken to him. Her ex-boyfriend sells her story to the gossip rags and embellishes it to make Ellie look like a sex-mad, crazed stalker who sold her own story for money. Then her half-sisters weigh in with stories of how Ellie is a gold-digger and the tabloid press drag up every picture of Ellie in a bikini or at a party from her Facebook page to portray her as a party girl.
Now her father's lawyer and publicist are doing damage control, but are either of them acting in Ellie's best interests? Also, Ellie has never heard the whole story about how her parents got together and why they split up - did her mother cut him out of their lives or didn't he want anything to do with them? It doesn't help that her father's lawyer, David Gold is extremely handsome and charming, but not to be trusted.
Told from Ellie's POV in the present and her mother Ari's POV when she first met Ellie's father, this is a feel-good romance where the heroine triumphs. Loved it.
