From Goodreads:
From
Entertainment Weekly writer Maureen Lee Lenker comes a swoony
romantic comedy set in the world of 1930s film.
Joan
Davis is a movie star, and a damned good actor, too. Unfortunately,
Hollywood only seems to care when she stars alongside Dash Howard,
Tinseltown's favorite leading man and a perpetual thorn in Joan's
side. She's sick of his hotshot attitude, his never-ending attempts
to get a rise out of her―especially after the night he sold her out
to the press on a studio-arranged date. She'll turn her career around
without him. She's engaged to Hollywood's next rising star, after
all, and preparing to make the film that could finally get her taken
seriously. Then, a bombshell drops: thanks to one of his on-set
pranks gone wrong, Dash and Joan are legally married.
Reputation
on the line, Joan agrees to star alongside Dash one last time and
move production to Reno, where divorce is legal after a six-week
residency. But between on-set shenanigans, fishing competitions at
Lake Tahoe, and intimate moments leaked to the press, Joan begins to
see another side to the man she thought she had all figured out, and
it becomes harder and harder to convince the public―and
herself―that her marriage to Dash is the joke it started out as.
The 1930s and this cover (!!) – how can you go wrong?
