Richard Creighton is back in New Jersey only to film a new movie. He has not been back to there since he was a child, but the scars from the bullying he received by other back then are still inside him. He may be a very hot and sexy Hollywood star now, but he is still shy around others and deep inside he is still that insecure child that they called the Cretin.

Movie Star, Hottie, Mr. Or so he wants everyone to believe. What they don't know is that Richard was tormented as a child, he was bullied for everything a kid could be bullied for.
And he still pays for it. Richard spends his life proving to all those old bullies that they didn't break him. Penelope Marsh, hometown girl, school teacher to gifted children. Pen had a major crush on Richard as a child, they just so happen to go to school together. Now, Pen's cousin is directing Richard's movie and they are all back in town.
While I enjoyed the plot as a whole, I still had issues with a few things. Richard has a tendency to jump in and out of his character on and of set of his movie, there were times that it was difficult or confusing to tell who was talking.
It also came across as the characters were very "wishy washy" on their emotions. Neither of the MCs could make up their minds on what they wanted, it was rather frustrating! And could Richard martyrize himself any more?! He blamed everything that could possibly happen on his past, he tormented himself more than the actual events. I also felt like we were missing an actual climax. All relationships have their problems, their issues they must overcome as a couple. While we saw plenty of these problems between the two of them, there wasn't really a big "ah ha" moment for me. Based on the synopsis, I would have purchased this book, and I would have left exactly the same review.
I don't know that it's one I will pick up again in the future, only time will tell. The synopsis of this book is a bit cliche BUT I'll still admit that it was a cute read that I enjoyed a lot. Once shy-nerdy guy turned mega superstar, Richard Creighton is at the top of his game in the acting world. He takes upon the lead in a role directed by our female heroine's cousin and sparks fly between them.
Penelope Marsh last laid eyes on Richard when he was a nerdy nobody in elementary school. Now that they're reunited, can her school girl crush be reciprocated or is it simply not meant The synopsis of this book is a bit cliche BUT I'll still admit that it was a cute read that I enjoyed a lot. Now that they're reunited, can her school girl crush be reciprocated or is it simply not meant to be?? Story's pace is a little slow at times for my liking at times. I thought she was a gem. Richard's character is flawed and relatable. Even as a celebrity, he struggles with insecurities like all of us but his stems from his not so fabulous childhood.
Richard and Penelope together?? I was smitten with their interactions and banter. They learn a lot from each other about life, love, and coming into your own as a person and being comfortable in your own skin.

This story is very typical of the romance of the day. However the couple is cute and endearing in their own way. The story is short so if you enjoy a cute romance this will be one that will become a classic just like it is in the LoveSwept Classic collection. I received a complimentary Review featured on www.
