How a Star Shines: A Sweet Romantic Comedy (Fools for Love Romantic Comedy Book 2) Kindle Edition

Bodyguards ruin all the fun.

I’ve made it in the music business without anyone’s help, so when a guy shows up, claiming to be my bodyguard, I do what any independent woman would do—I cripple him with pepper spray.

Turns out, he was telling the truth. My record label did hire him on my behalf.

Whoops.

If things could get worse, they do. My new bodyguard is a former schoolgirl crush, Josh Coleman. How was I supposed to recognize him, all grown-up and muscly?

I want to hate having Josh around—I really do—but I can’t. He can navigate cringeworthy paparazzi photos, handle vain male co-stars, and hold back rabid crowds like a champ. There’s just one problem: Josh is off-limits. One measly kiss to see if his lips are as soft as they look and he’ll lose his job. If Josh wasn’t so noble, he’d give me what I wanted.

Bodyguards seriously suck the fun out of everything…

Enjoy the Entire Fools for Love Romantic Comedy Series by Rachael Eliker! Full of toe-curling passion, hilariously awkward mishaps, and satisfying happily-ever-afters, each book can be read as a standalone.

5.0 out of 5 stars How a Star Shines

Cute and funny book. Kiki seems like a spoiled famous brat at the surface but underneath there is so much more to her. She is handy with her mace but the music label she has a contract with insists on a bodyguard. When she would not hire security, they hired for her. Josh, her bodyguard, happens to be her childhood crush before she became a headliner and still attended school. He was the football jock and she was the petite nerd with a big voice. They have a really good story so be sure to pick it up.

I really liked Ruby and Collin in the first book of this series. I wasn't so sure about Kiki. Even through the beginning of this one, it didn't seem capable of being as good a book. I'm glad I stuck with it; Kiki grew on me and Josh was great from the start. Getting to read more about Ruby and Collin was also a bonus. I love when authors continue love stories in the background of their other books.
There was one minor plot line that promised major conflict that never went anywhere, but overall, the writing was tight and story perfect for a bit of fun escape. I'm hoping a book featuring Vanessa is in the works.

This book was so much fun to read. The last thing Kiki wanted was a bodyguard - especially not one she went to grade school with! Why is Josh the only man Kiki's dog Cinnamon likes? These characters were just so interesting and well written. The ex-boyfriend also makes an appearance to keep the plot interesting. I was very sorry to get to the end. I highly recommend this sweet, clean romance.

Such a fabulous romance. I enjoyed seeing Kiki through the eyes of someone who knew her before fame. I laughed out loud many times throughout.

Romance, clean; series, but stand alone read
Fun, light romance with Kiki who is in the first novel of this series as a side character as the main character. Her strong personality, and take charge attitude, and quirks made her a fun character. Josh as her romantic interest was a fun addition, with the tour setting and fun locations made for some beautiful romantic moments. The music background was still a fun setting, and the side characters that were in the first novel were still great foils and had great back stories and additions to this one.
Cute, fun read, with some great moments and scenes.

HOW A GIRL SHINES. Rachel Eliker
Narrated by Megan Meyer
This plot was more than just about the limelight and pop star Kiki. She was a big star, loved her fans, and loved what she was doing. Her love life was a zero, trusting people another zero. On tour they brought in a body guard Josh, bringing in a good chemistry. Deals with insecurity, and wanting someone to love them. Not what they can get or use by knowing them. First to know of this author and enjoyed it, and will look for more by her. The audio by Megan Meyer was good, added depth to the story...Given ARC audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

5.0 out of 5 stars (4.5 stars) - Fun diva romp
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018

This was a great addition to what's developing into a pretty entertaining series. It's not quite perfect, but it made for a diverting couple of hours & was exactly the kind of escapist fare I was looking for after a grueling day.

Kiki's a tough as nails, independent woman who doesn't need anybody. Until Josh comes along and she begins to realize that sometimes we want to need someone and even need to want someone!

*Clean romance level: passionate kisses

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the cover tie in with the story
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2018

I love when the cover of the novel is more than just a pretty image. It's so entertaining when it becomes part of the plot. That's the case with this delightful story.
The witty banter between Kiki and Josh, and several of the supporting cast members make this book not just enjoyable, but hard to put down too.
On a steaminess level I would rate this a hot PG. The kisses weren't detailed even if they were lengthy.
This read is definitely worthy of a repeat!
