NEW RELEASE
California Dreamers - Belinda Jones (2011)
Stella is a make-up artist in England who has grown tired of her life making pouty models look good on film. So when she becomes friends with an A-list actress named Marina, Stella hopes that this is her chance to have a change in scenery. Soon, Marina whisks Stella off to a picturesque movie set in California, where she meets the gorgeous actor Milo, who is the world's hottest superstar. Shockingly, Milo actually seems to show an interest in Stella, though she can't understand why. But, are Marina's intentions that of a true friend, or does she have another plan up her sleeve? With characters that are both likeable and relatable, this is another great read from Belinda Jones. Though it's not set in an exotic foreign locale, it still glows in the California sunshine. This is a great read for anyone who wants to escape their own lives for a bit and step into the life of someone a bit more glamorous. (AS)
Belinda Jones is heading back to the Pacific coast for her 2011 release, California Dreamers, which is about a make-up artist who gets a job on a movie set. The summary says: "Ever wished you could make-over your life? Make-up artist Stella is an expert at helping other people change their images, but when it comes to transforming herself, she doesn't even know where to start. So when her new friend, glamorous Hollywood actress Marina Ray, summons her to a movie set in California, Stella can't resist the chance to start afresh - it is the land of sunshine and opportunity after all! But are they really friends or does Marina have an ulterior motive? What is the secret that both women are hiding about the nautical (but nice) men in their lives? And what will it take to really make both of their California dreams come true?" California Dreamers is out in July. You can read an extract on the publisher's website.
