Two young people are making a brave effort to pursue the careers they are interested in. Independent filmmaking and photography are Ryan Torino's strengths. Zinnia Preston is eager for someone to recognize her acting abilities. She longs to appear in movies. These two are motivated to collaborate in order to achieve their goals. It's challenging since Zinnia has a strong personality and Ryan likes to strive for excellence. If they want to work together and increase their chances of success, they must both put aside their distinct working methods and put all of their energy into the same goal. If you're looking for a fun diversion, check out this charming, funny romance that has elements of a "enemies to friends" story. Disclosure of Material Connection: I requested and received a copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

The Book Club Network blog https://psalm516.blogspot.com/ This story is easy to read and I loved how the two main characters clashed at times. It is true that opposites attract, isn’t it? Ryan is struggling with OCD that he thinks is under control. He is trying so hard to make it in the film business but it seems he finds himself getting more and more discouraged. Well he could always give up his dream and go work for his dad I guess. Zinnia has her own problems going on with sibling relationships not going so well. I think Zinnia feels like she is never good enough and feels like her sibling make her feel less than. That is a hard pill to swallow when you try so hard to achieve something and your sister never gives you credit for your achievements. Zinnia dreams of making it as an actress someday but she lacks confidence. I enjoyed how Ryan and Zinnia find themselves working together. They didn’t exactly make a good first impression on each other, but maybe there is a reason God has put them together. With Zinnia always feeling uncomfortable around her sister it makes it hard for Zinnia to believe that she can actually accomplish anything. When her friend Caroline tells her, “the right people don’t hold onto past hurts. They move on,” I could relate to Zinnia and her insecurity. It is hard to live up to her sister when she seems to have everything she needs and was always the favorite. Their relationship is strained and is something that bothers Zinnia a lot. The story takes us through many lessons that I needed to be reminded of. We are not in control and need to remember to let go and allow God to direct our paths. Relationships can be mended if we swallow our pride and humble ourselves. Forgiveness leads to freedom and the two main characters faced that as they let go of bitterness. The ending is sweet and gives us a look at what never giving up looks like. I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

When explosive personalities collide, can a control-freak director and last-chance actress work together to win a film competition? Ryan Torino loves the feeling of control, especially when it comes to his photography work and indie movies. And when he gets the opportunity to enter an indie film festival-rumored to have Hollywood bigwigs attending-he can't afford for anything to be less than perfect, especially the casting of his leading role. Enter Zinnia Preston, who has been trying to break into the acting scene since college. Now in her late twenties and working the not-job-of-her-dreams, Zinnia knows this indie film project may be her last chance to make it onto the screen. Ryan is intimidated by Zinnia's strong personality, but he can't deny she's the one for the job. Meanwhile, Zinnia wants to throttle Ryan for his perfectionistic tendencies, but she needs this gig. The tension between the two threatens to derail the project, and to both of their frustration, clashing visions aren't the only reason sparks seem to fly every time they interact. When an old nemesis arrives back in town, Zinnia and Ryan will need to set aside their differences and work together to have a chance at winning. If not, they can kiss that Hollywood riding-into-the-sunset ending goodbye. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

From a wealthy family, Ryan Torino could have everything handed to him on a silver platter, including a job he would probably hate. But he follows his dream of entering and winning an independent film festival. But for his plan to take flight, he needs to find a way to work with Zinnia and overcome obstacles from his past.
Filled with faith, love, friendships, forgiveness, and toxic people, this book will keep you reading. I loved seeing how Zinnia and Caroline ( whose story precedes this one) overcome their past hurts and forge a friendship together. Truly, this sweet contemporary Christian romance will keep you reading. The authors did an excellent job building relationships and friendships.
If you enjoy Christian Sweet Contemporary Romances, check out Getting Reel by Alyssa Roat and Hope Bolinger for yourself.
I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own. ( )
