Shooting Star (Beautiful Chaos #1) by Arianne Richmonde
Meet two dysfunctional products of Hollywood.
Star Davis and Jake Wild: they've met their match.
19-year-old Oscar winning Star Davis is an A-list movie star. Hell-raisingly beautiful, she tosses men aside like used Kleenex. She commands 20 million per movie--or at least did until drugs, alcohol, wild partying, and a police arrest sent her kicking and screaming into rehab.
Now she's out, squeaky clean, and determined to win the role she was born to play: the lead in Skye's The Limit--ready to re-conquer Hollywood.
26-year-old British director Jake Wild lives up to his name: he's the wildest player in town. He's also Hollywood royalty. From a family dynasty of powerful directors and producers, Jake's home is a movie set. With reams of hot starlets at his beck and call, Jake can get any woman he wants. But with his new movie, Skye's The Limit in pre-production, he's decided it's time to get serious and change his philandering ways.
Star is "liability on legs" and Jake doesn't want her near his precious movie. But Star has wily ways of getting what she wants. And apart from the role of Skye, what she wants is Jake right where he belongs:
Under her thumb.
Lights, camera, action . . .
But the action is not what Jake expected.
New Adult Contemporary Romance 17 This is the first part of a three-part series, approx 23,000 words. Book 2, FALLING STAR will be released July 27th.

What an EXCELLENT start to a new series! The story totally grabbed me from the start. I can already tell from this first installment that I’m going to LOVE this series by Arianne Richmonde.
Star Davis is a 19 year old actress; she’s been acting since the age of two and has already won an Oscar.
Jake Wild is a well sought out movie director; his father and uncle are also in the business. Jake has made a name for himself without any help from his family. He’s going to direct a new movie called Skye’s The Limit and he feels this movie will be his biggest accomplishment.
The story starts off with Star just getting out of rehab. She was a party animal, drinking and doing all sorts of drugs. Now that she is out of rehab, she is desperate to get the lead role of Skye in the movie Skye’s The Limit, which will start filming soon. She knows this role is perfect for her and wants it more than anything she has ever wanted before.
Jake just got the news that Star Davis has landed the lead role of Skye. He’s not very happy about this and does not want her starring in his film. He thinks she will ruin the film with her drinking and drugging, and he doesn’t want to babysit a beautiful but spoiled teenager. Too bad the decision has already been made and there is absolutely nothing he can do to change it.
Jake also has his own problems – he is a sex addict and trying his hardest not to let his little head take over his life anymore. The big problem is, he’s been ordered to have beautiful and sexy Star stay at his house until the filming is over.
Jake and Star are definitely attracted to each other. Can Jake keep his dick in his pants? Can Star stay clean and sober? Will this movie end up being a hit? Or will it flop? I can tell you this: I’ll be waiting to find out when the next book in this series, Falling Star, is released, hopefully near the end of July.
Overall, Arianne Richmonde sure knows how to write stories that CAPTURE my attention fully. Her characters are all well thought out and they have very interesting back stories. Arianne also adds in some VERY SENSUAL scenes that always get me all heated up while reading. This is a continuing series and Shooting Star does not end with a big cliffhanger. It’s a short installment of around 64 pages and sets this story up PERFECTLY!
I HIGHLY recommend any of Arianne Richmonde’s books. She is a FANTASTIC author. So, if you have not read any of her books, grab one, read it, and find out for yourselves just why I’m such a HUGE FAN!
