In Development

A music star and a movie star have to fake a romance, the problem is one is a lesbian and the other is a heterosexual who has only dated men.

Lila Wilder is a music star who is always changing her music and image to keep ahead of what the public wants and right now she is stumped. She does not know where to go with her next album and she is not sure what to change to create a stir and draw interest from the media and the public to keep them interested while she figures it out. Cobie Galloway is America's teen sweetheart, even though she came out of the closet over a decade ago. She only gets offered the sweet ingenue roles. She wants to play a role completely opposite of that and does not know how to change the industry's view of her so she can get the role she wants and has been training for. Their managers (married partners) have an idea: Cobie and Lila should faux date for six months. Lila will roughen Cobie's image up and Lila coming out as “bisexual” will create the interest she needs. They both agree to the faux romance and before long, they are both fighting their mutual sexual attraction.

I have to preface this by saying that I love Rachel Spangler, she is fast becoming one of my favorite lesbian romance authors. The characters are complex and sometimes in their arguments I had to pause and take a breath myself because I was reading so fast and the words were spinning as if I was right there. Spangler shows all of the turmoil of falling in love in the book In Development, then adds the drama of being young. These women are not exactly young (mid-twenties), but their experiences make them young and old at the same time which is exactly what youth is. One minute you are on one person's side and then you are on another's person's side because they are right too (laugh). The sex is not what I usually expect from Spangler as I have read more graphic and gratuitous sex in her other books. I am rating this book as R-rated, but it is the usual sex scene you find in romance books. I really liked this book and cannot wait to talk about in book club this month!
