Star Crossed (Silhouette Special Edition No. 266)

Summary: I like Ruth Langan but this book was not her best.
Review: B.J. knew the arrogant Adam London thought she was just another reporter searching for glory. But his mother, the reclusive screen star, wanted her story told and hired B. J. to write her biography. Convincing Adam that she had found glory in his arms was an irresistible challenge that seemed to compromise her professionalism.

This book was written in 1985 and it shows. Nora, the screen star is the only one who knows who Adam's father is. She left the business when she became pregnant. She has chosen B.J. to write her story and her son, her secretary, and her cook think it will only bring Nora more pain in her life. Nora raised Adam, is independently wealthy, and they think they know better. Then there is the lame, I hate you but am attracted to you story line. I'm sorry, but it's not B.J.'s fault. She was not trying to write the story without approval. Then there is B.J.'s anger at her father for leaving and dying in war. I just could not get sympathy for any of the characters. The only surprise was Adam's father's identity. There were plenty of red herrings and it was not who I suspected.

I'll keep Ms. Langan's other books but not this one.
