Is she making the right decision…for her career and her heart?

Following a near-death experience, Selena Hudson is finally going after the career she wants. And since casting directors won’t see her as anything but a rom-com queen, Selena signs on to produce and star in her own movie—an edgy psychological thriller. But just as the cast and crew arrive on location in Wild River, Alaska, the leading man drops out of the production.

Reporter Gus Orosco is not hiding out in Wild River—he’s waiting for the dust to settle after his on-camera “overreaction” triggered by watching his ex-fiancee get engaged to a superstar hockey player. Gus doesn’t want to be anywhere near the film crew shooting at his family’s campgrounds, but Selena makes him an offer he can’t refuse: she’ll snag Gus an interview with Sports Beat if he’ll be her leading man. All Gus has to do is learn his lines, hit his marks and somehow ignore the sparks flying between them…even though they’re hot enough to melt the Alaskan snow.

Actress Selena is going for a new start career after firing her team and taking on an indie project so different from her usual roles. Gus is a sports reporter licking his wounds after seeing his ex get engaged so quickly and making fool of himself on live tv. Unfortunately for Gus his quiet stay at his family's campground is going to get eventful with Selena's film crew shows up claiming that the area is the film location for the new upcoming movie. On top of that Selena's actor boyfriend bailed and need needs a replacement so she convinces Gus to take up the role. 

This was a  pretty fun read. I really enjoyed Selena's character, she was a strong and independent and wasn't about to take crap from anyone. I loved that she was pretty strong in her choices to and when her mind was made up she went for it. I loved how sweet but also that when he set his mind on something he was in wholeheartedly. Gus could've just half ashed things when it came to getting sucked into the film project but he did things well and if he wasn't sure he looked things up to get into character. Then there was the simmering attraction and romance that was going through with the character. There was just so much to love and enjoy about this book.
