About the book:

My life has always been in the spotlight. Born to two famous parents and then quickly rising to "super" status in the modeling world ensured that I, Astoria "Tori" Bell, would always have my image plastered across newsstands. Unfortunately, adoring fans weren't always magnanimous and now I have a stalker on my hands.

Oddly enough, the tall, dark, and all-too handsome bodyguard hired to protect me seems more harmful than the threatening notes from the stalker. As well as his plan to flush out the danger by proposing a fake engagement.

The lines between pretend and reality blur and I have to shore up my resolves. Baggage from my past means I can't let myself be vulnerable. But the way Marcel Fox treats me has me thinking otherwise.

With a new rock on my finger and the man who put it there by my side, happily ever after seems like a possibility or is that as fake as my public persona?

The Truth About Fame is the second book in the Christian Chick Lit series: Faith & Fortune.

My review:

This was a fun romantic suspense I really enjoyed!  The dynamic between Fox and Tori was funny as they seemed to get on each other's nerves, yet there was a strong attraction below the surface.  There were some sweet romantic moments.  Fox definitely has a way with words!  Tori's pretty much the only character here who doesn't want to believe in God and there were some good conversations about faith and forgiveness.  I liked Tori's sassiness and strength and also her tender heart and how much she cared for Fox's niece and the sick children she visited.  Fox was an amazing guy, sweet yet tough, can quote Pride and Prejudice and discuss the Bible, then save your life!  There was also some action.  I liked the relaxed way the story's written in the first person, yet I did wish for Fox's point of view.  I also liked that a lot of the characters were black as you don't see that too often, especially in the main couple.  This book worked well as a stand-alone yet I wondered if they had met in book one and assumed that book was about her brother and her best friend.  I definitely want to read that one and the next book about her other best friend.  I highly recommend this book!

I received a kindle copy of this book from JustRead Tours.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
