The romantic story of a girl who gets plucked from obscurity to star in the next major feature film franchise based on a book and the ensuing love triangles she gets entangled in on—-and off screen.

Meet Paige Townsen, Rainer Devon, and Jordan Wilder…

When Paige Townsen, a young unknown, gets cast in the movie adaptation of a blockbuster book series, her life changes practically overnight. Within a month, Paige has traded the quiet streets of her hometown for a crowded movie set on the shores of Maui, and is spending quality time with her co-star Rainer Devon, one of People’s Sexiest Men Alive. But when troubled star Jordan Wilder lands the role of the other point in the movie’s famous love triangle, Paige’s crazy new life gets even crazier.

In this coming-of-age romance inspired by the kind of celeb hookups that get clever nicknames and a million page views, Paige must figure out who she is – and who she wants – while the whole world watches.

This book was really good from the beginning to the very end. I have never read a book by this author ever and I would read another book by her in the future. Hopefully it will be the sequel to this book.

This book reminded me of the Twilight Series minus the vampires and werewolves. This book is about a series called Locked that is going to turn into a movie. You will meet the main character Paige Townsen. She is just a normal teenager going to school and working at a part time job. If she isn't working or at school she is hanging out with her best friends Cassandra and Jake. Well Paige wants to be an actress so she tries out for the leading lady in the movie Locked. Well she ends up getting the part and is flown to Hawaii where they will be filming it. She meets the hot leading man Rainer. She has seen him in magazines and movies. She thinks he is so hot and can't concentrate on the movie set. Then in walks the other leading man of the movie Jordan. She is attracted to both of the men that are filming the movie with her and she can't decide who she wants to be because they both have feelings for her.

I really would love to keep rambling on about this really great book by this author. I really hope there is a sequel to this book. When your reading this book and you get to the part where she has both men loving her. It will remind you of Bella, Jacob, and Edwards love triangle. That's probably why I loved it so much.

A Saturday Moment with Deitre

Where has winter gone? Spring is here full blast. The pollen has many people, like myself in total melt down mode. If you are in grade school, standardized testing is upon us. In college, you are now out for the summer. All others find time to read, when there really isn’t much time left because life calls.

Where am I right now? I’m in “I can’t believe my oldest son is graduating from high school” mode. We had a little guessing game awhile back to see where Josh would decide to go. Many of you thought Clemson. Well I just knew he would be a Clemson Tiger as well, but he has decided to be a College of Charleston Cougar. Which is just fine with me! I see more trips to the beach in store for us. :)

I’m hoping that he will continue to read and review for Once Upon a Twilight and A Leisure Moment, but we’ll see. Just in case you didn't know, this week is National Teacher Appreciation Week. This Youtube video is for all those that chose to teach.

A Saturday Moment with Deitre and Giveway

I feel that I have fallen quickly off of the face of the earth away from the world of books and blogging. One week I'm in New York chaperoning a middle school field trip with my daughter's orchestra and Group Travel Consultants. Let me just say that the tour guide John, had us moving through New York for 4 days straight seeing everything we could possibly see. It was my first visit and yes, I felt very small in this huge and grand city. I've got to be honest. I thought I would truly sneak in some great reading time. But really, how could you when you are seeing sights like these:

After very long hours of being on a charter bus, I jumped off and went straight to a plane in route to another location I've never been, Detroit Michigan. Where I faced many eager and soon to be teachers looking for job opportunities in the warm state of SC. It seems like yesterday that I was sitting in my first classroom assignment, scared and not really sure where to begin. But that's another story. :)

It's 8:00 am, I'm up way too early. Getting ready to enjoy my first cup of coffee at home in two weeks. My first "none" continental breakfast experience at home. But above all a Saturday full of catching up on all things books and an official start to my Spring Break. It doesn't get any better than this. I'm finishing up The Edge of Falling by Rebecca Serle. A Leisure Moment had a casual conversation with Rebecca, that we can't wait to share. What are you reading this weekend?
