Review: Plot Twist (Celebrity Crush #2) by Natasha Luxe
Print Length: 123 pages
Publisher: Rare Books (June 22, 2021)
From Goodreads.com: I’ve learned my lesson when it comes to dating actors. This ring on my finger isn’t real—it’s to stop any advances dead in their tracks. The moment any guy sits in my makeup chair, he sees my ring, and that pulls up my self-inflicted barrier. It keeps me safe. It keeps my job secure. It keeps everything exactly as it should be.
Until I start on the set of a movie featuring the newest hot shot leading man, Sebastian Stanik. He’s just like every other self-righteous actor…except for the way he reaches past my barrier and awakens parts of me I’d thought were long gone.
Maybe a little fun won’t kill me, but the moment this movie wraps, the barriers are going back up.
I will not fall for a celebrity crush. Again.

My Rating: 2 stars out of 5
To be honest, I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first in the series. It had the same witty banter between the characters don't get me wrong, and that "moment" where everything that seemed to fall apart came together, but I just cannot see people in real life acting the way these two did. Especially when you consider the fact that one of them is a celebrity that despite not yet being super popular is still well known. I just cannot see someone on the brink of everything they have ever wanted engaging in something as sordid as what these two did, and in the middle of a crowded dancefloor nonetheless.
Aside from that, I enjoyed the way Sebastian tried to get to know Quinn. It was fun watching them navigate their "not relationship" while knowing they were falling for each other. I just wish (as I did with the first book in this series), that this one would have been longer so that we could have spent more time getting to know these characters.
In the end however, I would read more from this author.
