The Accidental Actress

The Actress Duet, Book 1

By: Amber Eve

Narrated by: Angela Cleland

When Hollywood needs a love story, sometimes they have to fake it.

Small-town outcast Lexie Steele gets caught in a tabloid scandal with Hollywood’s golden boy, Jett Carter. A paparazzi photo gone viral, a desperate need for damage control, and suddenly Lexie is thrust into the spotlight as Jett’s “girlfriend.”

For Jett, it’s a career-saving PR stunt. For Lexie, it’s the perfect chance to prove to her small Scottish town that she’s more than her mistakes. But as their “love” story takes them from Los Angeles parties to Lexie’s small Scottish hometown, the lines between acting and reality blur in ways neither of them saw coming. Jett is charming, infuriating, and way too tempting. And Lexie? She might just be falling for a man she was never meant to love.

Perfect for fans of fake dating gone wrong, The Accidental Actress is a laugh-out-loud, feel-good romance about two people who discover that the most genuine love stories can't be scripted

Saving the passed out actor

This is the book 1 of The Actress Duet and a standalone story. It is a laugh out loud comedy, romance with a happy ending. It is told from a single point of view, and I love the character, Lexia. One single good deed leads to the experience of a lifetime. This is the first book I have listened to by this author, and I cannot wait to see what other books she has written.

pretty privilege thrown on it's head

Lexie is the pretty girl in tiny Heather Bay but she feels pretty average in Hollywood where everyone is beautiful. She's left Scotland to escape her mother and scandal but she finds herself in the spotlight after trying to do a good deed and accidentally spending the night at actor Jett Carter's house. Flaws and all, you can't help but root for Lexie as she tries to navigate her new found fame and the trolls that come with it. This book is really funny with its broken heroine and quirky characters. And it only gets better once they get to Scotland and characters get quirkier. The voice chosen for the audiobook was spot on. I couldn't stop listening as Lexie's life spins further and further out of control.

Excellent narrative to a fun story

This was a fun book to listen to. I was drawn into the story and the narrator did an excellent job of bringing “life” to all of the characters. The overall story of Lexi and Jett brought two people who had grown up with trust issues into a relationship of learning to not only trust but to also forgive.

loved it

I really enjoyed the story. Lexie Steele ends up in a Fake relationship with her crush actor Jett Carter. While they are putting on a "show" for the paparazzi they both develop real feelings for each other, but both are oblivious to it. I really enjoyed Lexie's Scottish accent throughout the story and the clear distinction between the characters.

I love me some Scottish Accents!

4.5* - Rounded up to 5...

Angela Cleland does a phenomenal job voicing Lexie and Jett, and really brings their story to life!

Poor Lexie! lol... She's having a REALLY rough go of things in her life lately! And then things just get more and more complicated with Jett as well. I couldn't believe her mother's antics! And I REALLY didn't like Scarlett Scott for most of the book!

So many funny dialogues and antics throughout the book, and the various side characters really added a lot to the story as well.

The scenes in Scotland were hilarious! And had me laughing out loud while listening.

And I absolutely adored the ending! I'm excited to see more of this world...
