Wonderstruck (Starstruck Love Stories #5) by Dana LeCheminant, Book Review

 Book Summary:

He’s Hollywood’s golden boy. She’s determined to stay invisible. When their lives—and their secrets—collide, neither is ready for what comes next.

After years of living for the cameras, Derek Riley needs an escape. Training for a movie role on a remote river sounds perfect, until his whitewater guide, Donovan, treats him like he’s just another tourist. For the first time in his career, Derek doesn’t know his lines…or how to uncover the person beneath Donovan’s armor.

Donovan left her old life behind for good reason, but Derek’s kindness and warmth make him far too easy to fall for, even if he threatens the careful walls she’s built. Letting him in means facing a past she swore to forget, but she can’t help but be drawn to the flawed man beneath the perfect veneer.

When the tabloids close in and old wounds resurface on both sides, Derek and Donovan have to choose between the safety of silence and the risk of something real. Because sometimes, love is the most dangerous truth of all.

Wonderstruck is a closed door celebrity romance that’s a standalone story with character connections to the other books in the series. Full of witty banter, mutual respect, and sizzling chemistry, it’s perfect for fans of protective heroes, confident women, and love that heals.

My Review:

This installment in the Starstruck Love Stories series is off the charts amazing! LeCheminant does not disappoint with Derek’s story, and we have been waiting so long for it! We finally get to understand Derek and his deepest, darkest secrets and everything about what makes him, him. I enjoyed the banter between Derek and Donovan, the emotional depth, the romance, the twist I didn’t see coming, and the friendships that are more like family. Everything about this story makes me want to read it all over again! This series is one of my favorite romcoms  and I highly recommend it!!!

Happy Reading!!!
