Literature & Fiction
Will star-bound Casey Singer trade “finally famous” for “love at last”? Casey Singer is a self-proclaimed brat who trusts no one. This B-list actress and model uses her body and brains to obtain superstar-status. Casey is far from an overnight success and has become skilled at covering up her hard-fought scars with makeup and stage lights in order to claim her place in the spotlight. After a walk-off stint as a TV weather girl in Kansas, Casey is struck by love when a handsome record executive with soulful eyes accidentally hits her with his car on an icy pavement. Casey literally falls for him, but in addition to having a heart-stopping smile, he appears to have a secret life that keeps him just out of reach. No matter. Casey has zero room in her life for anything as unpredictable as romance. And, as luck would have it—is now slated for the job of her dreams as the millennial chosen to co-host a new cutting-edge network talk show. When the ultimate moment of truth arrives, Casey is forced to make a crucial and impossible choice—her career, or the toughest role of her life? Blonde Up! is a fast-paced, indulgent read where love and lust for fame compete for Hollywood gold. This book is the first in the four-part “Secrets and Stilettos” series by Jamie Collins, author of must-read women’s fiction.

What would you do for fame?
Grab your stilettos and journey back to where it all began with the gripping and often cut-throat rise to fame for the four women hosts of the newest day time talk show, starting with this starlet's quest for the spotlight at all costs. Casey's moxie and determination deliver her dreams, seemingly on cue, but as fate would have it -- at a price. Casey is the millennial in the series and kicks it off with a bang. I enjoyed sharing her unique perspective through the eyes of a twenty-something with much to offer and much to lose. Casey's wild-child ways are only the beginning as she strives to overcome life's perils, the pitfalls of fame, and her own personal demons in order to find her way. We all start with a dream. Maybe Casey's is not all that different from our own.
