About the book:
Author of Act Like It and Pretty Face Lucy Parker returns readers to the West End, where it’s fireworks onstage and off in a sexy enemies-to-lovers showdown.
Once upon a time, circus artist Trix Lane was the best around. Her spark vanished with her confidence, though, and reclaiming either has proved…difficult. So when the star of The Festival of Masks is nixed and Trix is unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight, it’s exactly the push she needs. But the joy over her sudden elevation in status is cut short by a new hire on the makeup team.
Leo Magasiva: disgraced wizard of special effects. He of the beautiful voice and impressive beard. Complete dickhead and—in an unexpected twist—an enragingly good kisser.
To Leo, something about Trix is…different. Lovely. Beautiful, even though the pint-size, pink-haired former bane of his existence still spends most of her waking hours working to annoy him. They’ve barely been able to spend two minutes together for years, and now he can’t get enough of her. On stage. At home. In his bed.
When it comes to commitment, Trix has been there, done that, never wants to do it again. Leo’s this close to the job of a lifetime, which would take him away from London—and from Trix. Their past is a constant barrier between them.
It seems hopeless.
Utterly impossible.
And yet…
My Thoughts:
Trix Lane unexpectedly lands the lead role in The Festival
of Masks, a kind of circus/play, and normally she’d be over the moon, but self-doubt
creeps in thanks to a bad breakup with a toxic man. Add to that Leo Magasiva will now be working on
the production, and they have a long history of hating each other. Well, they didn’t always hate each other.
There was a time in school they were quite close, but that went horribly wrong.
Yet, now when Trix is having problems with performing the one who seems to help
the most is Leo.
I really enjoyed the past two books in this series, Ms.
Parker is such a clever writer. Making
Up did not disappoint, and once again I was treated to witty and funny exchanges.
The sparring back and forth between Trix
and Leo was a laugh, but there was also serious depth as we’re shown the
history between them. Trix and Leo discover things in the past may not have
been as they thought. Of course, you can’t
have such strong emotions such as hate without passion and hurt at the bottom
of it, and it’s as they say there’s a fine line between love and hate. Trix and Leo have a sweet and HOT journey back
to love, and it was a pleasure to experience with them.

Connect with Lucy Parker:
I thought this was such a wonderful second chance romance, and I loved how Leo was able to help Trixie find her way back to herself. I love Parker and I love this series.
ReplyDeleteThis is new to me! I love when two people can share a "HOT journey back to love," haha. It sounds like something I'd really enjoy.
