Description:

The Opportunity of a Lifetime…

Makeup artist Tabby Rogers is thrilled to land a job on a New Zealand movie set with lots of perks, including getting her hands on sexy Kiwi stunt man, Eli Black.

The sexual electricity zapping between them can’t be denied, but neither of them is in a position to handle happily-ever-after. Eli’s jetting off to Hollywood, Tabby’s next assignment is in the UK. But there’s nothing wrong with a short-term fling, right?

Except as the sparks burn hotter and responsibilities pull at them from opposite ends of the globe, it quickly becomes clear that something’s gotta give. Must Tabby sacrifice her hard-won career for love? Or will Eli forever be the one that got away?

Kiss and Make Up is the first book I have read by Faye Robertson, and I promise it will not be my last. I am a sucker for a romance book where there is a geographical conflict. I think it’s the sacrifice aspect that gets me so intrigued. That is the theme of this book, and boy did she nail it.

Tabby has landed an amazing job as the make-up artist on the set of a movie. Her plans are simple. Finish this job and then head off to the UK on a full ride scholarship to a prestigious makeup school. She has already given up one opportunity at this school to stay with the man she thought she loved. That is until she caught him in bed with someone else. She promised herself to never give up her dreams for someone else.

Eli is a stunt man on the set where Tabby is working. His plans are simple. Finish this job and then head to LA to make a name for himself in the movie industry. He made a promise to his brother on his death bed that he would follow his dreams and make it big in Hollywood.

Eli and Tabby have an incredible connection to one another from the start. She is understanding about his career choice and doesn’t try to hold him back. He is someone that she can be honest and crazy with. There is lots of humor in the dialog between these two that really add an additional spark to the story. They have amazing sexual chemistry and when they hook up, they ignite.

As these two spend more time together they realize there is much more to their relationship than just a fling until their movie job is finished. As I mentioned before, the geographical issue comes into play. I have read a lot of books with this theme, and I must say this is one of the best. It was written with so much emotion I could feel the confusion and conflict they were both experiencing. At times I just didn’t see how this would ever work out for them. They are both such headstrong characters devoted to their own futures. It’s a real page turner trying to figure out how they can conquer their dreams and their love for one another.

If you like a book full of compelling characters a convincing plot and gripping passion, this is for you!

Enjoy!
