Kennedy Ryan is back with a new romance book series, y’all! Dubbed Hollywood Renaissance, I expect this new cast of characters and love stories to be quite dramatic.
First to take center stage is Reel, a workplace romance between film director Canon Holt and actress Neevah Saint. She’s fresh from Broadway, a small fish in a massive star-studded pond, and he’s a household name. With fame, however, comes the limelight and those who shine the brightest also attract the most attention.
Neevah’s turn in Canon’s Harlem Renaissance biopic is her ticket to the big time but when the connection between a star and her director is palpable people talk. As the old saying goes, everything that glitters ain’t gold, and the heady rush of newfound fame only lasts but so long.
While Canon’s career is secure, Neevah’s is just beginning. A forbidden romance may be intoxicating but is it really worth her dreams going up in smoke? Or are the sparks flying between her and Canon the kind meant to last forever?
I’m more than a little excited for Ryan’s latest release and ready to fall head over heels along with this couple.
Official summary (via Goodreads):
Award-Winning Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Kennedy Ryan launches a brand new series with a Hollywood tale of wild ambition, artistic obsession, and unrelenting love.
One moment in the spotlight.
For months I stood by, an understudy waiting in the wings,
preparing for my time to shine.
I never imagined he would watch in the audience that night.
Canon Holt.
Famous film director.
Fascinating. Talented. Fine.
Before I could catch my breath, everything changed.
I went from backstage Broadway to center stage Hollywood.
From being unknown, to my name, Neevah Saint, on everyone’s lips.
Canon casts me in a star-studded Harlem Renaissance biopic,
catapulting me into another stratosphere.
But stars shine brightest in the dead of night.
Forbidden attraction, scandal and circumstances beyond my control jeopardize my dream.
Could this one shot—the role of a lifetime, the love of a lifetime—cost me everything?
Reel is available now in print and e-book format.
