Yet another sweet, wish-fulfillment romantic story by the amazing writing duo Christina Lauren! There’s not much of a shred of realism in the plot, but it’s oh so fun to just kick back and go with the flow. As their relationship evolves and Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway-in the middle of the theatrics and the acting-not-acting-will Holland and Calvin to realize that they both stopped pretending a long time ago? My Thoughts: Impulsively, she marries the Irishman, her infatuation a secret only to him. Seeing that her uncle needs Calvin as much as Calvin needs him, a wild idea takes hold of her. When the tryout goes better than even Holland could have imagined, Calvin is set for a great entry into Broadway-until his reason for disappearing earlier becomes clear: he’s in the country illegally, his student visa having expired years ago. Using the only resource she has to pay the brilliant musician back, Holland gets Calvin an audition with her uncle, Broadway’s hottest musical director. Calvin Mcloughlin rescues her, but quickly disappears when the police start asking questions. Lacking the nerve to actually talk to the gorgeous stranger, fate steps in one night in the form of a drunken attacker.

Marriages of convenience are so…inconvenient.įor months Holland Bakker has invented excuses to descend into the subway station near her apartment, drawn to the captivating music performed by her street musician crush. “Take a Peek” book reviews are short and (possibly) sweet, keeping the commentary brief and providing a little peek at what the book’s about and what I thought.
