Confessions of a Hollywood Matchmaker

2018

Lights, camera, fall in love. Hollywood’s sweetheart Emma Woods is perfectly content without a boyfriend, thank you very much. But what’s a girl to do when she’s a romantic at heart? Play Cupid, of course! She’ll do whatever it takes to set her makeup artist up on a date with the studio’s gorgeous set designer. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. But when her swoony perma-friend Jaxson Knightly disapproves, her matchmaking scheme comes at a higher price than she’d bargained for. He may be the nicest man in showbiz, but he’s about to get downright icy if Emma can’t prove her antics won’t end in disaster. Again. How can she win other people’s happily-ever-after without losing the friendship of the one man that matters most? Confessions of a Hollywood Matchmaker is a contemporary Austen-Inspired romantic comedy and a prequel to the Backstage Romance Book Series.

Love and Loathing

2019

A spunky chorus girl. A hotshot movie star. An unforgettable stage kiss. Beth Bennet can’t keep her mind off of Will Darcy—but only because he’s infuriatingly arrogant just like every other Hollywood type she’s known. It’s definitely not because he’s drop-dead gorgeous. If she didn’t need this job so badly, their choreography would be more like stage combat—toe-curling kiss notwithstanding. And since she swore to loathe him for all eternity, falling for him would be an extreme inconvenience. Will Darcy is only doing this musical as a favor to a friend, and he certainly could do without the distraction from the sassy and spirited Beth Bennet—even if she invades his daydreams like an over-zealous photo bomber. As sparks fly, riotous drama ensues when they can no longer fight the attraction on and off stage. But when the curtain falls and the lights dim, is their on-stage romance more than just a fantastic performance? Love and Loathing is a clean romantic comedy and a standalone in the Backstage Romance Book Series. If you like enemies to lovers chemistry, witty banter, and giggle-inducing humor, you’ll love Gigi Blume’s hilarious retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
