Review of Starstruck (Bluewater Bay #1) by L. A. Witt
With Starstruck, a twenty-three-book series begins, Bluewater Bay. All the books take place in the fictional town of Bluewater Bay on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State where the filming of a television show has brought the town back to life.
Warning: gay romance with explicit erotic scenes.
Carter Samuels is the star of the wildly popular show Wolf's Landing, based on a novel series. A new character must be cast that will have a minor role at first but will grow into a major one.
Much to Carter's shock, Levi Pritchard, the actor who made him realize he was gay, is being cast opposite him. Many of Carter's fantasies over the years involved Levi, and he owed his career to the man for also making him realize he wanted to be an actor.
But Levi in real life is very different from watching him in movies.
It's far better.
After an impulsive kiss, a hard discussion produces a conundrum: Levi is closeted and Carter won't be his dirty secret. But the chemistry between them is too intense to deny.
In order to have Carter, Levi must come out, risking his fragile relationship with his parents and his comeback career as an actor.
L. A. Witt's writing is a good balance between character study and plot heavy. I thoroughly enjoyed the will-they-won't-they push and pull of the novel. Levi and Carter have undeniable romantic chemistry that I couldn't get enough of. I felt their frustration, desire, anger, longing, hope, and despair at different points in the novel. I rooted for them in a way that made me so emotionally invested that Levi's periodic idiocy had me wanting to knock some sense into him.
For fans of LGBTQ romance, I highly recommend this book.
