Blurb
Life has gotten too much lately for journalist and blogger, Christian Miller. The assignments are piling up, he’s just been dumped and he’s never seen so much red in his bank account. When his best friend offers him keys to his family’s lake house, it’s the perfect chance to escape the city and get some peace and quiet so he can finally catch up on his deadlines.
A-list Hollywood heart-throb, Jonah McGregor wants to get away from it all. The fake girlfriends. The constant nagging from his manager. The paparazzi following his every move. He decides to make a trip back to Kentucky - to the lake house he spent summers at while growing up. When he arrives, he’s surprised to find he won’t be having the place all to himself.
Christian and Jonah have a lot to catch up on, but most of all, it’s Christian’s unrequited childhood crush that becomes the topic of conversation. Jonah is all too happy to fulfill Christian’s longtime fantasy and before the two know it, they’re sharing beds. By the time the week is over, it’s clear the men have feelings for each other but their different worlds mean it can never work.
Christian was happy just to have slept with Jonah. One blissful week where every one of Christian’s fantasies was fulfilled. The last thing he was going to do was out him to the world. His secret was safe with Christian. Until he got stupid drunk and wrote a blog post about it. And then said blog post went viral before Christian even had the chance to nurse away his hangover. Luckily, he was smart enough not to mention names. But speculation is rife and there’s a chance people will put two and two together.
With the media in a frenzy over Christian's mystery man and the story behind it, the job offers start rolling in. Christian soon finds himself in LA and the latest Hollywood gossip journalist. Now that he and Jonah are in the same city, there's hope they might finally be able to give their relationship a shot. Except nothing is ever that simple...

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
For Immediate Release by Lucy Hawkins is a fantastic Hollywood romance.
This story has everything I love in a story. A longtime crush, years passed, a Hollywood star, and a cabin getaway. Heck yes, sign me up!
Jonah needs a break from his Hollywood life, as he's sick of the pressure of being closeted and all the lies that come with it. When he arrives at his friend's cabin, he's reunited with the younger Christian.
A chance to "get off" leads to more. Their sex is hot, and I love the way Jonah deals with his bisexuality. Of course, this is at the cabin. Returning back to his Hollywood life makes things much more difficult.
Jonah's fears and desires are well written. As we know, coming out is extra difficult for actors. This is all portrayed well and in a fun way.
For Immediate Release is one of those books that I enjoyed every second of and will definitely add to my feel-good re-read list.
