Party Girl by Rachel Hollis
Genre: New Adult
Kindle Edition, 360 pages
Publication Date: February 14th 2014 by Chic PublishingPG Cover 5x8 (1)
Landon Brinkley is making her dreams come true. After years of poring over glossy photos of celebrity parties in People and US Weekly, she�s landed her Holy Grail: an internship with the fabulous Selah Smith, event planner to the Hollywood elite.
Moving from small town Texas to Los Angeles, Landon finds herself in a world in which spending a million dollars on an event � even for kids� birthdays � is de rigueur. The thrill of working on A-list parties and celeb weddings is enough to get her through the 75-hour workweeks, the nightmare of a multi-day film festival, and abuse at the hands of a mercurial boss. LA is full of opportunity for fame, fortune and even love. But confronted with the seamy realities of the business, she is forced to make a choice: do whatever it takes to get ahead, or stay true to herself.
A roman a clef in the vein of The Devil Wears Prada, PARTY GIRL draws on the author�s real life experience for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the celebrity-obsessed world of event planning. From the party habits of America�s favorite underage singer to the worst Bridezilla of all (the kind that graces the cover of your favorite magazine), PARTY GIRL reveals the ugly side of Hollywood�s prettiest parties.

Dream Cast

Rachel has stopped by to tell us who she pictured for each of her characters. I love dream casts and I think her picks are awesome! Check it out

This is SUCH a tough question for me because some of the characters are
based on celebrities (obviously, easy to cast) and some of them seem like very
real people to me so I have no idea who should play them. For what it�s worth,
here are my best guesses�

imageLandon Brinkley � I wish I knew! It�s really tough for me
to come up with someone who�s the right age and also,
having the ability to play southern is really, really important
for her. I just saw Anna Sophia Robb in The Way Way
Back and I wondered if she might be a good Landon.
image





Selah Smith � Selah was always based on Rose Byrne in
my mind, so that�s an easy one for me.



image
Miko � The girls are definitely toughest for me because
they�re the most �real� in my mind� forced to make a
decision? I�m not even sure if she is an actress or just a
TV host but Jeannie Mai could totally pull off Miko�s style.
image





McKenna � This is another character who was always
someone very specific in my mind. Darren Criss.

image


 

Taylor � Half way through writing this book I saw Dave
Franco in Now You See Me and I loved that he was sort of
a punk but totally charming at the same time� that�s
utterly Taylor. From that point on I always saw Dave
Franco when I was writing his character.

image


 

Brody Ashton � Physically he�s based on a model
named Devon Paisley� because if you get to dream up
any guy in a story, why not dream up male models?



 

Max is, for some reason, the toughest for me to come up with. Besides Landon, she�s my favorite character in this book and if I was going to write a sequel it
would be Max�s story. She�s so tough and grouchy but buried under 18 layers of
mean-girl is a really good heart. I�ll leave you to who imagine who might play her
because I have no idea.

As for all the celebrities in the book� those are based on very real celebrity
clients, I�ll leave you to wonder who each one is based on. My lips are sealed. ;)

Collaboration by Michelle Lynn ft. Nevaeh Lee
Published January 26th 2014
Age Group: New AdultPageflex Persona [document: PRS0000039_00004]
Summary:

This is not your typical rock star romance. For one, the �rock star� is a rapper. And not just any rapper. Trace is the hottest ticket in the music industry right now, regardless of which definition of �hot� you choose.

Taryn Starr is not the girl-next-door who unknowingly meets a celebrity. Known as �America�s Sweetheart,� the reigning country music princess and world-renowned superstar knows exactly who Trace is�or does she?

Their worlds collide when the musicians whose paths were never destined to cross are forced by their joint record label to collaborate on a song. The sparks fly and ignite a fire that blazes hotter with every minute they spend together�for better or worse. One thing�s for certain, the two media magnets can�t deny their explosive chemistry, but will life in the spotlight ultimately bring Trace and Taryn together or force them apart?

***This contemporary romance new adult novel is for mature audiences. The language alone would make a sailor blush (the guy�s a rapper, remember?) so 18+ only, please.

Dream Cast: Main Characters Trace and Taryn
Taryn-Trace Dream CastExcerpt

The limo driver opens my door and just as I�m about to swing my legs out, I catch a glimpse of the guy who snaked my award. He and his entourage are working the carpet, though instead of keeping their distance from the masses who are screaming his name, they�re actually hugging and kissing everyone they come in contact with. You have got to be kidding me. �Ridiculous,� my mom says, the distaste evident in her voice. �Couldn�t they have more class?�
Ignoring her, I continue to carefully exit the vehicle, and soon the crowd collectively starts to holler my name. After waving, I start my walk and can�t help but notice he stops just outside the doors and turns around. Obviously disappointed the crowd is no longer all about him. I happily sign a few autographs while feeling his gaze on me from the corner of my eyes. Trying to ignore it, I continue signing, waiting for him to make his way inside. �That�s enough,� my mom tells the young girl holding her paper and pen to me. Shooing her hand off the paper, I smile and sign anyway, handing it back to the girl. Her ecstatic yelling and jumping is enough to make me giggle.
My mom, not willing to take any chance of me disobeying her again, firmly places her hand on my elbow and leads me back up the carpeted walkway. My laughter quickly quiets and my smile turns down when I spot him still standing there, staring directly at me. Other than his two bodyguards standing at either side of him, no one else is around. Those mesmerizing blue eyes bore into me the closer I get. Swallowing hard, I will my heart to calm down before I reach him.
He places his hand on the door handle and opens it for me. I quietly give him my thanks and enter with my mom following close behind. When the doors shut, he comes alongside me. �I just wanted to say congratulations on the award.� He holds his hand out for me to shake and when I place my hand in his, I�m amazed how soft his hands feel. I guess if I wasn�t plucking guitar strings all day, that�s how my hands would feel too. Unexpectedly, he pulls me into him and his lips brush against my cheek as he whispers, �But it should have been mine.� With a chuckle, he walks away, once again leaving before I have a chance to respond.

About the Author
Michelle Lynn Bio:
Michelle moved around the Midwest most of her life, transferring from school to school before settling down in the outskirts of Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides with her husband and two kids. She developed a love of reading at a young age, which helped lay the foundation for her passion to write. With the encouragement of her family, she finally sat down and wrote one of the many stories that have been floating around in her head. When she isn�t reading or writing, she can be found playing with her kids, talking to her mom on the phone, or hanging out with her family and friends. But after chasing around twin preschoolers all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after putting the kids to bed.
Nevaeh Lee Bio:
Nevaeh�s first exposure to writing began in a middle school creative writing class. She was reprimanded for composing a politically incorrect story and forced to re-write about a �safer� topic. Being the writing rebel that she is, Nevaeh always likes to push the envelope a bit and never re-writes, unless her editor insists on it.
When she�s not writing, Nevaeh is a freelance book editor ;). She also adores her really big dog who frequently takes her for walks while enduring her many story ideas and rambling dialogue, which sometimes occurs in multiple languages. After many years of this, she finally decided to start writing out some of these stories and her first book, a joint effort called Collaboration, will be self-published on January 26, 2014.
