For starlet Elizabeth Sutton, it’s difficult to tell which has more momentum: her burgeoning film career, or the growing intimacy in her forbidden romance with notorious Hollywood outsider, Aidan Evans.

When the opportunity to costar in a feature film arrives, Beth and Aidan fight to keep their relationship out of Hollywood’s rumor mill and away from the ever-watchful eyes of Starlight Studios head Luther Mertz, who condemns a union between them and threatens the future of Beth’s acting career.

The pressure mounts as the cameras roll. Beth and Aidan navigate the precarious heights of superstardom while exploring their physical desires in secret. Beth grapples between the debilitating nervousness over her sexual inexperience and her unbridled need for Aidan. Meanwhile, the demons from Aidan’s past he thought forever vanquished linger on the fringes of a fragile inner peace . . .

Starbright is the second book in The Starlight Trilogy, a story of love and redemption set against the backdrop of the final years of Hollywood's Golden Age.


Five Reasons To Read The Starlight Trilogy:

1. A sweeping technicolor tale of forbidden romance.

2. A detailed homage to the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema.

3. Cameos from many of your favorite classic film stars.

4. Transformation of a small town girl to silver screen starlet through Hollywood’s unforgiving lens.

5. Close-up of a 1950s bad boy channeling a tragic past and the stress of sudden super stardom through the art of Method acting.

My Review:

I was introduced to Alexandra Richland's writing with her book Frontline. Even though I really enjoyed Frontline, I LOVED her Starlight series. I started the first book Starlight on Sunday afternoon and have spent the last three days absolutely absorbed into this world. I finished the first book late last night and spend all day reading book 2. I wanted to have my review for book 1 up as well, but unfortunately I could not make it in time to do so. But never fear I WILL review the first book later I the day.

As is my custom with the second book in the series, I won't go too much into the detail of the synopsis, but instead focus on the aspects of the book that I really enjoyed. But to get a taste of this story, take a look at the excerpt below and the teaser above.

Before I even get into the plot or even the character development or world building, I must start off with the first thing that made me fall for the story; the amazing writing. The best way for me to explain the writing in this book is to compare it to paintings. There are certain paintings that are meant to be abstract. The painter takes one or maybe a few different color of paint, and completes their image with a few single strokes. They there are those painting that might have taken the artist months to paint with many different colors, layers and dement ions to the painting. And that is how I would describe the style in Alexandra has written this book. She describes everything so beautifully that it allows you to get so engulfed into the story where you feel that you are actually there.

The next aspect of this book that I really enjoyed was the character development. We got to know Beth and Aiden really well in book 1 - Starlight, and they over came a lot in book 2, specifically Beth. However in book 2 we get to see them grow even more as a couple as well as individually.

I loved seeing how Alexandra wove in the historical aspects, specially as they applied to the golden Hollywood years. Living in California; Los Angles specifically, I always get asked by out of towers about Hollywood. And Frankly Hollywood now a days is a dirty crowded street, with lot of tourists, adults dressed up in costumes and a ton of souvenir shops. I think what most people are looking for when they think about "Hollywood," is the glitz and glamour that Alexandra describes in this book. And it was absolutely enjoyable to read about.

You find yourself getting invested in so many aspects of the book - the characters, the world, and specifically the writing. After reading over 800 pages of this amazing story between Beth and Aiden, I am lost in a haze and really wish I had book 3 to find out how their story continues

5.0 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2014
Aidan Evans. That is the only thing I need to say to review this book! It is brilliant, the only thing missing here is that I need the next book now!

The suspense behind what Aidan is hiding, plus the struggles of having a relationship off the cameras is becoming quite difficult. The climb to stardom isn't as easy as it seems and would Beth overcome her inexperience in order to be with Aidan, and would Aidan triumph over in his battles against his dragons.

Beth and Aidan have officially landed in my heart and soul. Alexandra Richland brings this next book of the Starlight Trilogy with such an amazing story. This is a must read people, no other way around it. Just grab it and thank me later, but beware if you become addicted you'll just have to make line for us who are now impatiently waiting for the next book and pick a ticket to get Aidan, because he will become your next hot book boyfriend.
