About this ebook

“You want me to fake date the star?”

Becket loathes the potboiler legal drama he stars in, Nothing But The Truth, but the money is too good to pass up. Thanks to a back-stabbing director, he’s known in the tabloids as being a cutthroat diva on set as well as off of it. What he wants most is to break into serious films, but the likelihood of that happening is slim to none with his reputation for being difficult. Out of the blue he’s offered the role of a lifetime, but there’s a catch. The closeted actor has to fake date his younger co-star, or no deal.

Hugo Zepeda, a child star now struggling to break into adult roles, is a clumsy mess... or at least that’s what his famous co-star Becket Grant believes. He’s from a show-biz family, and underneath his teen star good looks he’s a seriously talented actor. He also drops things, runs into walls, and makes a fool of himself on a regular basis. When a tabloid is tipped off that he’s dating Becket, he’s furious, because it’s not true. But, would it be so bad if they were?

The Big One is the first novel in the Hollywood Hearts series. It’s a celebrity gay romance between two actors who are total opposites, but thanks to money and fame are thrust together. Can our actors overcome their egos and an age-gap to find their happy ever after? The Big One is a perfect fit for fans of Felice Stevens, Lauren Blakely, Andrew Gray, and Sarina Bowen. Throw in a dash of David Sedaris's comedic prose and you will fall in love with this romantic comedy!

Ratings and reviews

Hugo came from a family in the show business, father a dancer and actor, mother fixing messed up scripts, and his sister was his manager after seeing Becket preform he decided to become an actor too. But was a klutz he fell once and Becket caught him before Hugo hit the ground and the picture was all over father’s best friend a producer had them both star in his blockbuster movie. They admitted their feelings for each other. Good book!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am

Hugo and Becket are both in the closet because they think it will hurt their acting career. They both have a chance to be in a movie together about a couple who find love with each other. I really enjoyed this book.
