In this smart and swoony adventure rom-com, a journalist and a movie star find themselves teaming up to cover up a murder...and falling for each other in the process.
When freelance journalist Khin Haymar is assigned by Vogue to get a scoop on Tyler Tun, Hollywood’s hottest movie, she's determined to succeed. Tyler has returned home to Myanmar to shoot his latest film, and if Khin’s able to get an exclusive, there may well be a permanent position waiting for her at Vogue Singapore.
Tyler has a very private life and doesn’t show any sign of letting down his walls for Khin. But then one night on set, a man follows Khin into the park. When he threatens her, Tyler steps in and things escalate fast. Khin knows they can’t go to the police, even if this was self defense, and even if this stranger seems to have targeted her specifically.
As Khin and Tyler work together to hide their secret and find out more about her attacker, they grow closer and Tyler finally starts opening up. But now the idea of writing the article gives Khin an uncomfortable morality-related guilt. Before long, everything hangs in the balance. Will they get away with murder? Can Khin get the exposé she needs for her dream job? And is she willing to risk Tyler’s trust in the process?
My Review:
This story was not at all what I thought I was going to get, but in all the best of ways. Once I was able to recognize that this impossible situation made perfect sense in the life that Khin had experienced, my heart and mind decided we were all in with this book. Tyler also played a major role in me getting invested in this story. He’s so close to being the perfect book boyfriend, that there was no way I could resist falling in love with him. I enjoyed watching this pair getting to know one another and failing to fight their growing feelings. I thought the solution to her potential murder charge was the tiniest smidge too coincidental, but also not outside the realm of possibility. All in all, this book was a wonderful experience. It showed me a part of the world that I had very little knowledge of and introduced me to some truly delightful characters.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley.
