Book Review: Watching You (Hollywood Heat #1) by Leslie A. Kelly

Watching You (Hollywood Heat, #1)

Title: Watching You (Hollywood Heat #1)

Author: Leslie A. Kelly

Stars: 3 stars

Review:
While writing the first book in the series set up to the rest of the book the Author will be writing it keeps to be done well to keep readers hooked for the next book. This book falls flat from the male and female points of view that readers will guess who is who at first to the cliffhanger that isn't needed.  Many loose end that could have been tied up in this book are left up in the air. The part that kept me wanting to put the book down and not finish it was the little stalker  manipulatively controlling romance.  

First books in the series need to establish a backstory that can have understanding motive as well as character development but it can also have hidden gems.  This Story has no of that.
I do not think I will be reading the next in the series.

Synopsis:
Aspiring screenwriter Jessica Jensen grew up on movies starring heartthrob Reece Winchester, the eldest brother of a Hollywood dynasty. She never thought she'd meet the man in person, though. Actor, director, millionaire, and gorgeous mystery man-he's every woman's fantasy. 

Reece wants Jessica the moment he sees her, and he's a man who always gets what he wants. At first he was only after a night in her bed, but as he comes to know the smart, confident woman beneath the stunning exterior, he realizes once will never be enough. 

Unfortunately, Jessica's real-life Cinderella story is about to take a deadly turn... 

Reece's world is filled with fierce ambition and dark family secrets the Winchesters desperately want to hide. But he and his brothers aren't the only ones who know those secrets. Someone else is out there, waiting to strike. Waiting-and always watching. 

When danger finally steps out of the shadows, Reece will have to face his past. And Jessica will have to decide just how far she can trust the man she loves with her heart...and her life.
