”I’ll read anything she writes” — Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author While blogger Angela Clark explores the most romantic city in the world, she must keep her relationship, and her career, from falling apart—in this sequel to Lindsey Kelk’s I Heart New York Angela Clark is in the City of Love—but her own love life is heading for trouble. I Heart New York left Angela living the dream in fabulous New York City—her days filled with blogging for The Look magazine, texting her best friend Jenny (who’s now a stylist in Hollywood), and planning dates with her indie rocker boyfriend Alex—who seems very keen on moving in together. When Alex suggests a trip to Paris just as Angela is offered a chance to write for upscale fashion magazine Belle—the timing couldn’t be better. What’s more exciting than writing an article on the hippest spots in the romantic capital of the world? Meandering along charming streets, perusing Paris’s hot destinations—all in the name of research—Angela decides she could get used to the joie de vivre of Paris. But there’s something awry. Angela soon realizes that the road blocks she keeps encountering—lost luggage, bogus research notes, broken phone—can’t be a coincidence. Someone is conspiring to sabotage her big break. And when she spots Alex having a tête-à-tête with his ex in a Paris bar, Angela’s dreams of Parisian passion start crashing down around her. With London and her old life only a train journey away—now is the time to decide if she should stay and face the music or return to the safety of home.

Book Description
Through an authoritative narrative and lavish photography, this is an in-depth history of the stars, films, achievements, and influence of the Hispanic and Latino community in Hollywood history from the silent era to the present day. Overcoming obstacles of prejudice, ignorance, and stereotyping, this group has given the world some of its most beloved stars and told some of its most indelible stories. Viva Hollywood examines the stars in front of the screen as well as the people behind-the-scenes who have created a rich legacy across more than 100 years. The role of Latin women on screen is explored through the professional lives of Dolores Del Rio, Rita Hayworth, Raquel Welch, Salma Hayek, Penélope Cruz, and many more. The book covers the films and careers of actors ranging from silent screen idol Antonio Moreno, to international Oscar-winning star Anthony Quinn, to Andy Garcia and Antonio Banderas. A spotlight is also given to craftspeople who elevated the medium with their artistry—visionaries like cinematographer John Alonzo, Citizen Kane scenic artist Mario Larrinaga, and Oscar-winning makeup artist Beatrice de Alba. The stories of these and many others begins through a lens of stereotyped on-screen personas of Latin Lovers, sexy spitfires, banditos, and gangsters. World War II saw an embrace of Latin culture as the “Good Neighbor Policy” made it both fashionable and patriotic to feature stories set south of the border. Social problem films of the 1950s and '60s brought fresh looks at the community, with performances like Katy Jurado in High Noon, the cast of West Side Story, and racial inequality depicted in George Stevens's Giant. Civil Rights, the Chicano Movement, and the work of activist actors such as Ricardo Montalban and Edward James Olmos influenced further change in Hollywood in subsequent decades and paved the way for modern times and stars the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Illustrated by more than 200 full-color and black-and-white images, Viva Hollywood is both a sweeping history and a celebration of the legacy of some of the greatest art and artists ever captured on screen.

Lena’s convinced Ally to pursue her dreams of fashion design, starting with some gowns for the awards season. Which Ally will get around to creating as soon as she can stop looking at Jacob Swan, Lena’s latest co-star. Not that she’s staring. Ally’s skeptical of anything celebrity and it’s not like she’d be pathetic enough to fall for a Hollywood heartthrob. Then Ally learns there’s more to Jacob than his good-guy, all-American persona. She finds herself torn between the desire to get to know him better and her determination to stay out of the limelight. Of course the media has other ideas—and someone doesn’t like all the attention Ally’s getting.
