Review "Renowned London actor Richard Troy's reputation has taken a beating. Given Richard's stoic, icy, some might even say rude demeanour, combined with rumors of his temper and rich-boy status, the British tabloids are having a field day that only his stage presence can repel. Even his talents can't stop the gossip, and when his agent suggests a solution to his sullied reputation--a fake relationship with the theater world's sweetheart Lainie Graham--Richard reluctantly agrees. Lainie wants no part of this ploy and certainly no extra time with ornery Richard Troy, but then she's offered a deal she can't resist, and they'll both be in for the most difficult roles of their careers--acting like they're in love. Yet when real affection and a fragile closeness grow, Lainie and Richard understand a grain of truth in their ruse and must decide whether their tempestuous love is worth the fight... Well written, with very human characters and an entertaining plot, this debut novel is highly recommended for romance lovers who enjoy gratifying, hilarious stories... - Library Journal."ACT LIKE IT combines some of my favorite elements in a chick-lit novel: sharp, relevant humor, celebrity gossip and a couple of complex characters that grow into a relationship instead of sharing insta-love... I absolutely adored the biting and sometimes snarky humor; it was both relevant and hysterical... Bottom Line: Funny, sexy and plain ole' terrific chick-lit read!" - The Romance Reviews
About the Author Lucy Parker lives in the gorgeous Central Otago region of New Zealand, where she feels lucky every day to look out at mountains, lakes, and vineyards. She has a degree in Art History, loves museums and art galleries, and doodles unrecognizable flowers when she has writer's block. When she's not writing, working or sleeping, she happily tackles the towering pile of to-be-read books that never gets any smaller. Thankfully, there's always another story waiting. Her interest in romantic fiction began with a pre-teen viewing of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Firth-style), which prompted her to read the book as well. A family friend introduced her to Georgette Heyer, and the rest was history.You can find her on Twitter @_LucyParker, or on her website: lucyparkerfiction.com.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A great read By Fiona Wilson This was a brilliant read with so much humour in its pages. The basis of the story is similar to ones I have read before, but it is written so much better.Richard Troy's public image needs a boost, and his agent thinks up a brilliant plan. Well, brilliant from everyone else's point of view, but not Richard's. He has to appear to be romantically involved with Lainie Graham, a fellow theatrical actress who has previously been romantically linked to yet another of her co-stars.Richard is best described as a grumpy git who fancies himself as a bit of a ladies man. But therein lies the problem. His previous liaisons, combined with the fallout from his bad temper, have led to him having a very poor image in the public eye. Lainie doesn't expect much from him, and that is proved to be right as they begin the charade.Being theatrical people the language the characters use is absolutely brilliant throughout the story. The author, I believe, has either had a theatrical background herself, or is more than familiar with those working within the theatre. The language used makes for some hilarious moments throughout.I really enjoyed this story and found myself laughing out loud on more than a few occasions.

The hero’s image gets cleaned up, and the heroine gets to have some money donated to her charity, which would be a win-win for all. The author’s voice is authentic and fresh. I like the light-hearted banter and how the characters grow on each other. There aren’t any of those “I’m pretending but I’m not and I’m so confused” thoughts that we usually see in these tropes. They are honest from the moment they stop pretending and really begin seeing each other romantically. The hero is a redeemable alpha-asshole.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Perfect British Rom Com By Amazon Customer What a delightful read! It was British romantic chick lit at it's FINEST!!! I had no idea how much I was missing that artfully smart/dry British humor until I read this little beauty.This was the type of slow burn read that makes the brush of an arm leave you REELING for pages!!! Seriously, the amount of squealing butterflies Lucy Parker's writing gave me is kind of pathetic (on my part...not hers).Okay favorite things about this book:1. The Characters!!! Richard....R.I.C.H.A.R.D. I've never read a more hot, owly, opinionated, smart alec of a hero that I wanted to make my own. And Lanie...just the perfect contrast to his crassness. They were exquisite together.2. The Writing!!! Skillful, highly talented and gorgeously executed. Not to mention super smart. Several references I didn't even understand, which I LOVE. I like being pushed!3. The Setting!!! Set in the London backdrop of the West end theater district, I loved all the stage/acting references. They weren't over-done or forced, they were light, perfect, and beautifully executed.Loved this book. It would make the best romantic comedy. So original with the theater backdrop and storyline. Truly a fun, fun read and I look forward to more from the exceedingly talented Lucy Parker5 Beautifully British STARS!!!
