For Jewel Blaine, the spotlight and her fans are all the family she'll ever need. She is the star of the popular daytime soapie The Proud and the Passionate, after all. After a high-profile breakup, Jewel has come up with her own call sheet: no romantic entanglements with cast members, producers and especially directors. But when the stage lights dim, Jewel secretly yearns for a sexy leading man to costar in her real life. Rugged, handsome Taye Elliott is new on set at P&P -- this time behind the camera. Trained as a stuntman, but always with an eye on directing, Taye knows this is his big break. And he needs P&P 's leading lady to trust him. But Jewel thinks he's better off pretending to break legs than really calling the shots. Taye's never shied away from a challenge and he's certainly not going to now. He's perfecting the scene of a lifetime--to direct Jewel on-screen...and love her off of it.
I really liked this book, at the end I wanted more... I would really recommend this book for a Good Read. I Love Reading books written by Anita Richmond-Bunkley. The books are always full of electric charge and I can't put the books down, so I end up reading to the finish and sorry when it ends. Thank You for all of your insight and positive energy.

Anita Bunkley is one of my favorite authors. Her latest release does not disappoint! From the first pages, I was drawn into Jewel's diva attitude and lavish lifestyle. As the story progressed, I could not wait to see what happened next with Jewel and Taye. Bunkley creates characters that draw the reader in and the storylines are current and entertaining. She writes for the mature reader who enjoys true romance, passion and a great story. This is a great book for the beach or summer relaxing!

If you use to watch soap opera back in the day or if you still watch your favorite soap then you know everybody has a favorite and the Proud and the Passionate is no different. Jewel Blaine is the leading lady and the star of the soap opera P & P and we get to meet Jewel after all the lights are off and she live the studio. Jewel has made the decision not to date any of her co-worker, producer or directors because of a high profile break where everybody can see and after that Jewel went into hiding. Now you have to read the book to find out how all of this came about..............it is just to good. Then walk in Taye Elliott a former stuntman who got hurt on the job but instead of given up he decided to give directing a try and is very successful at it. Taye comes from a family of Doctors who all went into the family business "The Elliott Cosmetic Surgery Center" his father & 3 brothers. Now Taye went to medical school and was almost finish when he decided medical school is not for him his path is different from the rest of the family and needly to say they was not happy when he decided he wanted to do something else. Taye & Jewel first meeting was a little intense because since Jewel is the star of the show and she has been on the show the longer she felt she could give Taye more of inside look of the show and she also wanted to make sure not to many changes was going to come about. Taye is coming after the last director died very suddenly of a heart attack so the case and crew are still grieving so Jewel is like the mother to the case and crew to keep everything the same. Taye is in agreement with that but what they don't count on is the attraction between them. They try to fight it but in the end the heart knows what and who they want. This is the first book I have read by Anita Buckley and it was good. I recommend reading and enjoy being apart of the Taye & Jewel lives plus it give you kind of a inside look into doing a soap opera. You know back in the day I was so bad with looking a soap opera I would have 3 VCR going taping all the soaps on channel 2, 5, & 11 so you know what I was doing after all of my household stuff was done. Soap Opera heaven that was back in the day. Now day I see them every now and then cause I tell if you have been away from soap for some year and start back to watch you have miss a beat. The only thing that might change is the kids you remember as children and grown up............smiling. If you had favorite like Erica Kane-AMC, or Marlena Evans--DOL then you will enjoy this book.
