Thankyou to Rachel from Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to participate in the blog tour for Photographed in the Writer's Room by Michelle L.E. Price. Photographed in the Writer’s Room Former TV star Brandi Tyler's big screen debut crashed and burned amid rumors of an affair with her married co-star… Now, she wants nothing more than to quietly slink away from Hollywood. When she's offered an opportunity to get out of town and work on a project involving the photographer that launched her career, it seems like the perfect escape! Unfortunately for Brandi, her famous face makes hiding out even a huge city like Houston a little tricky. When the celebrated photographer's son offers to let her use his home for privacy, it seems like everything is falling into place. Little does she know that Michael Ames a gorgeous best selling author, and he comes with the package! As Brandi makes her way through old photographs and new scandals, Michael struggles with his next project, and they both fight the growing attraction between them. Maybe a posse of new girlfriends, some Texas-sized boozy brunches, and a little private time in the writer's room will help this leading lady find her path back onscreen. And, if she can just picture it, maybe this time she'll even find love? Purchase Links US / UK My thoughts: Photographed in the Writer's Room was a lovely romantic escape into the world of celebrities who do have their need for privacy and want to be loved and understood by their romantic partner like anybody else. If you are a fan of slow-burn, clean romances, this book is going to be right up your street! Brandy Taylor, former model /TV show star, who is a household name, is having a bit of a career crisis. Her latest movie was a flop, coupled with vicious rumours of an affair with her (married) co-star. Brandy needs to keep a low-profile for some time. To her credit, she refuses to do any interviews about her charity work, which she has been doing for years- she doesn't want them to be used to repair her public image. What she needs is peace and quiet and a change of scenery. When she finds out that Brighton Ames' family are looking for somebody to help them go through and organise personal archives of the late celebrity photographers, Brandi jumps at the chance. After all, she holds a degree in Art History and is passionate about photography. It isn't easy to stay under the radar of reporters, and Brani ends up having to stay in the house that now belongs to the photographer's son, Michael, who turns out to be a famous writer and a recluse. There's nothing I love morethan a slow-burn romance where the protagonists do get to know each other before giving in to the irrestible pull of attraction. I also enjoyed Brandi's new girlfriends with their unique personalities, people who are not trying to take an advantage of knowing Brandi, but are genuinely supportive. The super-efficient Kayla, who is a bit of a WonderWoman and Franklin, Brandi's PA, also deserve a special mention. Where would celebrities be without people quietly organising their daily routines, sorting out their lunches, gym memberships, all the while keeping an eye on any potential threats to their privacy? Overall, this was a quick and entertaining read with a good build-up and steady pace, and I'll be looking forward to reading more from Michelle L.E. Price in future. Thank you toRachel from Rachel's Random Resources and the author for the review copy, provided in exchange for an honest opinion. Author Bio Born in Montreal but raised in New England, author Michelle L. E. Price has been writing as long as anyone can remember. An avid reader who was on the verge of losing her mind as a mom to two small children, Michelle began writing her first book, Hidden in the Writer’s Room, as an escape… at least her characters would do exactly what she told them to do and she could always count on a happily ever after ending. She also enjoys wine, re-watching 90’s sitcoms and occasionally running, but heavily relies on writing to stay sane. Michelle is a firm believer that laughter and love are the best parts of life.
