Not Until Noah (Star Crossed #1) by Lisa Henry

 



Amazon Link - Available in KU

Carter Westlake is on the brink of being Hollywood gold. Cast as the lead in a highly-anticipated sci-fi trilogy filming in Australia, he’s primed to be the next A-list action hero: all-American, hot as hell, and straight. The problem is, Carter can only check off two of those boxes. But that’s okay—his bisexuality can remain a secret until these movies are behind him.

Childhood educator Noah Jones has a plan. Work as a nanny for six months, make some extra cash, and move to the UK to teach. He doesn’t expect his new boss to be a Hollywood star. And he certainly isn’t prepared to fall for the guy.

One kiss sends them tumbling into a secret relationship, even though they both agree it can be nothing more than a fling. Carter needs to stay in the closet for the sake of his career, and Noah’s leaving. But when their feelings continue to grow into something deeper, Carter has a decision to make. Knowing that exposing his sexuality could cost him his career, would he rather carry on living a lie, or risk it all to stand tall in his truth?

Not Until Noah is the first book in the Star Crossed series, where regular guys meet famous ones, and sparks fly.




My Rating - 5 Stars!

Not Until Noah is a wonderfully sweet romance. I love this book. Everything about it had me swooning and charmed throughout. 

Emerson is an adorable child who adds plenty of delightful moments to the story. And, omg, I'm so upset by the way the press forces themselves until the children of public figures. As a fan, I am fully guilty of wanting to see famous people with their children. But the author fully reminded me why this is so horrible. Not only are the famous people affected, but their poor, innocent children aren't allowed any privacy. 

This is a story of Carter, an actor who's firmly in the closet. As he falls for the manny, Noah, he can't help but to deal with the demands of his profession. 

Ugh. This book made me so mad about the demands on people to stay closeted. We all know why the industry wants actors to stay closeted, but it's maddening. There's so many forced dates, situations, photo ops. And all the while, Carter is saddened and frustrated by not being able to be open with Noah. 

Now, as for Carter and Noah, swoon, just Swoon! I love every moment of them together. The attraction is there from the start. And the way everything develops between them had me swooning throughout. 

Not Until Noah is one of those easy to fall in love with stories. This Lisa Henry book is wonderfully addictive, keeping me up late into the night. I love it all!
