About this ebook
There's a magnetic attraction when a happy-go-lucky gig worker agrees to a fake relationship with a rich, uptight New Yorker in this steamy romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young.
Star Shine Meadows is all about freedom, thanks to the hippie parents who raised her. Juggling her jobs as a professional costume character actor and a line sitter, she believes in no expectations, no stressful ambitions, and no-strings-attached relationships. So when she meets a birthday girl's grumpy uncle while working a princess party, she can't help but needle him. She'll never see him again, and honestly, he's pretty hot.
Rafe Whitman may be a veterinarian with a great bedside manner, but that doesn't mean his patience extends to anyone with opposable thumbs. His family will not stop nagging him about finding 'the one', so when he runs into obnoxiously cheery Star again, he makes her an offer: He'll pay her more than she would make doing her odd jobs if she'll pretend to be his girlfriend at family gatherings. She can stop sitting in line waiting for someone else's new phone, and he'll get his family off his back.
When the tension between them heats to a breaking point, Star's desire for 'no strings' is tested against Rafe's staunch stability. They say opposites attract, after all . . .

I was excited to dive into this read as it has some of my favourite tropes and I have always loved Samantha's writing. I got everything I expected and more from the read. I fell in love with Star from the start. Her vibes drew me towards her. Rafe on the other hand, might not have made the best of first impressions but as I got to know him I fell for him especially after his apology. They both come from different worlds and it was amazing to read them get to know each other and fall in love. It isn't easy to overcome the baggage from past but in order to move forward they have to face there demons. There chemistry was great and I loved there complete journey.

When I read the blurb for The Love Plot, I was intrigued, and I was hooked on the story that Samantha Young wove from the first chapter. This was a well written entertaining story that left me with a smile on my face. Their journey was entertaining, full of outrageous moments (some had me laughing out loud and getting strange looks from my husband) and I had a hard time putting it down when real life got in the way.
