Capture by Rachel Van Dyken

Capture (Seaside Pictures, #1)

by Rachel Van Dyken

For the last year I've lived my life via text.

It's not because I don't want to talk, it's because trauma prevents me from getting any words out. We all have our things don't we?

It worked for me.

Until my Hollywood friends decide that I need a little bit of adventure by way of forcing me to become Lincoln Greene's new assistant. They're filming in my hometown. Waiting on him hand and foot is suddenly the least of my worries.

Because Lincoln? He's not a texter.

He's a talker.

And he may just talk his way right into my heart before I have time to put up any sort of boundaries.

He's my enemy.

And then he's my best friend.

And now I want to talk more than ever, say the words that don't mean as much when you type them out on your phone.

But I'm broken.

And even Hollywood's newest heartthrob can't fix me, no matter how hard he believes he can.

This was a cute YA/NA book. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this one, but it was surprisingly fun.

Seventeen year old Dani had her share of tragedy. Mute due to the after effects of her parents death, she's surrounded by family and best friends who are determined to keep her in their own version of a protective bubble. It's not until she meets Lincoln Green, one of the hot Hollywood stars working on her brother-in-laws latest film, that she finds someone who doesn't treat her with kidd gloves.

Lincoln isn't looking for romantic entanglements, but when he meets Dani there was someone about her that he was drawn too. She was sassy, sarcastic and didn't bow to his Hollywood greatness. She made him feel normal, which he liked. Even more, the liked that out of everyone that looks out for Dani, it was with him that she finally found her voice.

These two were cute together. Their banter, whether over text or in person, was fun. She was awed by his fame and he treated her like she was normal. They each appreciated how the other treated them, even when they were shooting nasty barbs at each other, because they say past what everyone else saw to the real person. It made them fight for their relationship. To understand what they have and know it was something to grasp onto.

My first Rachel VanDyken book was fun. I look forward to more in this series.
