Hollywood Comes Home picks up immediately after the end of Just Business. Chance is miserable and as a result makes stupid decisions which ended up hurting Amber. Amber is trying to move on from Chance, but with him being constantly in the media coupled with memories and her feelings for him, moving on isn't possible.
Chance eventually came to his senses and initiated a reunion. However, the reunion came under threat from a source seeking revenge. The events in book one shares a connection with the incidents occurring n Hollywood Comes Home. At the first the connection appeared blurry, but as the story evolved the murkiness disappeared.
The action and the suspense kept me entertained. I kept reading as the events piqued my interest. I had to know the outcome. The development of the characters could have done with some more work. While background information was provided as it relates to chance, there were still some chunks of his past missing. With regard to Amber, I had difficulty connecting to her as sufficient background information was not provided about her.
The romance failed to wow me. There was a lot of spice, but it lacked an emotional connection. Once again, there were more telling than showing, which seems to be the author's signature style of writing. A style of which I am not a fan.
The story in this instalment flowed better than that in the previous book. However, the tragic scene involving Chance's bodyguard threw me for a loop. There was no connection between that incident to the rest of the story.
This instalment wrapped up nicely, with the threat being neutralized and Chance and Amber's getting their HEA.
