Headliners by Lucy ParkerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Four and a half stars.
Professional rivals and personal enemies are forced to work together …
Nick Davenport had a successful primetime TV show, until he was secretly videoed badmouthing the head of the network behind the scenes. Sabrina Colton also had a successful primetime TV show which rivalled Nick's until revelations about her grandmother's plagiarism and her very public fight with her ex-boyfriend turned her from media sweetheart to Cruella da Ville. Now they each have one last chance, work together on the dismal Wake Me Up London breakfast TV show.
Sabrina hats Nick because he was the one who broke the news of her grandmother's plagiarism which tarred both her beloved sister Freddy's career and her burgeoning love life and her own career where Sabrina was accused of profiting from her family's lies.
Both consummate professionals Nick and Sabrina do their best for WMUL but there are a series of stupid mistakes: wrong cue cards; using vinegar instead of water in a cake etc which make them look like amateurs - could someone be sabotaging their show?
Lucy Parker at her best with two charming characters and oodles of laughs and fun. Chuck in a cute dog, lovable ex-wife, scarily clever kids and a countdown to Christmas and you have a sparkling romantic comedy. Loved it.
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
