I had to know how this story ended. Finally, I could! Have you read this serial, book buddies? :o)
MY OPINION
Very
emotional finale. It was hard to go through all the complex repercussions of
keeping this couple's relationship secret from the media. It took a toll on
both Cameron and Sarah, and they acted so wounded that my heart was a bit torn.
The poor woman felt lonely, neglected, and downright abandoned by Cameron's
aloof attitude. I confess I resented him all through that time.
Thank
goodness there was a plot twist when they could rekindle their beautifully
romantic bond. I loved the declarations of love after so much sacrifice on both
their parts.
The narrative
is descriptive, with lots of space for inner musings. They show in detail how
public image in Hollywood is perceived and handled. both characters grow
through hard lessons. I really enjoyed the times when they find and cherish a
place that will become very special to them. Despite the fact that I was
disappointed in Cameron a few times, he certainly makes up for it with
beautiful gestures and declarations.
This is a
very thorough, comprehensive, romantic and sexy finale to an interesting serial
about the price of fame.

Synopsis: After months of hiding their engagement to promote a farcical PR relationship tied to Cameron's new movie, Sarah is struggling to remind herself of the benefits of the plan – if only she can make it that long. Having just about reached their breaking point, Cameron proposes a romantic weekend away to re-connect with one another but their boss has a better idea: a two-week trip away from the prying eyes of Hollywood and the PR team’s aggressive gossip machine.
Once out of the Hollywood spotlight, Cameron reverts back to the loving, attentive man Sarah first fell in love with and idyllic days spent hiking, biking, and surfing lead to sensual nights wrapped in each other’s arms. But when a gossip columnist viciously pegs Sarah as “the other woman,” they’re forced to acknowledge the reality of their situation. Vowing to beat the studio at its own game, Sarah and Cameron openly flaunt their relationship, knowing their actions may mean giving up the careers they both love.
With help from some new friends along the way, Cameron and Sarah re-discover what matters most as they work to find their happily ever after.
