Elisabeth Grace

Rumor Has It (Limelight #1)

"Rumor Has It is quite possibly one of the best New Adult debuts I've read-ever. I loved every hip-hop minute of it and can't wait to read the rest of the series! I devoured it, from laugh out loud funny moments to hot Mason scenes, I was begging for more by the time I finished reading. I can't wait to see what more this talented author has up her sleeve."-Rachel Van Dyken, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author "Sexy and sweet, Mason and Ellie are a couple you want to root for."-Monica Murphy, NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author All publicity is good publicity, right? Unless you're recent college grad Ellie Wagner and an embarrassing video of you and your boyfriend goes viral. Every man in your life abandons you, but who knew a one-minute clip of your latest doomed relationship would brand you a slut, prevent you from getting your perfect job, and force you to keep doing the one thing you swore you'd never do again...live with your mother. But staying with mom and her latest boy-toy (is this husband number four or five?) until your life turns around might not be all bad. Especially when you fall - literally - at the feet of a sexy, green-eyed stranger who offers you freedom and a life of luxury on a gold-rimmed platter. There's only one little problem - the man of your dreams is none other than Mason Nash, the latest hip-hop star busting up the music charts. Fame and fortune are his calling cards and he's vying to steal the show on a new reality TV series that will catapult him into mainstream stardom. Hello spotlight. The man behind the famous persona is perfect for Ellie in every way, but can she overcome the ugly pitfalls that come with Mason's celebrity status? Or will she be forced to choose between the man she loves and the independent life she longs for? After all, fame and fortune aren't always what they seem and not all publicity is good publicity...

I still can't believe I was lucky enough to get my hands on this ARC. Debut author Elisabeth Grace has proven she deserves to be in the Limelight! And why?? Two words....MASON NASH!

A refreshing take on the NA genre. Ellie, a strong female lead and Mason...oh Mason. The man of my dreams!

Ellie and Mason meet in an unusual way. She has no idea who he is...though she should. Mason's interest is immediately piqued by this...such a refreshing change for him.

As they get to know each other, it becomes apparent they come from two different walks of life...but are they really all that different?

Now Ellie must choose between hiding from the spotlight or being thrust into it. The spotlight has burned her before after all.

This author not only held my interest, but she had me laughing out loud numerous times through this novel! I had more than one odd look from my husband while reading this! Haha! The perfect blend of romance and humour and of course sex....

Pour yourself a glass of wine (leave the bottle within arms reach!) and cozy up....because you won't be able to put this one down!

I am already counting down the days until I can get my hands on this authors next release!

Elisabeth Grace's Rumor Has It was a sweet and fairly uncomplicated romance between a famous guy and a not-quite-so-famous girl. Ellie and Mason meet in a very unconventional – and rather amusing – way and have an immediate connection. They come from vastly different worlds, but can't fight their mutual attraction and wind up giving in to their desires. What's supposed to be a fling with an expiration date begins to feel a little more like something real and they have to decide whether or not it's worth fighting for. 
Ellie was an interesting character. When I read the blurb for the book and saw that it mentioned an embarrassing video of her and her boyfriend, I immediately thought "sex tape." I was wrong. I can see how it was embarrassing, but I truly felt like it was all blown a little out of proportion. But, regardless, she was likable. Mason was sexy and exactly the opposite of what I picture when I learned he was a rapper. He was a good guy. They had a ton of chemistry and their sexy scenes were blazing hot. 

I breezed right through this book. I really enjoyed Elisabeth Grace's writing style. Rumor Has It was told through Ellie and Mason's POV and each had a distinct voice, which I always appreciate. This book had humor, heart and enough miscommunications and secrets to keep things interesting without venturing too far into angsty. This wasn't a book that made me "feel all the feels," but it held my attention, kept me guessing and left me smiling at the end. I'm looking forward to reading Elisabeth's next book, Picture Perfect.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
