This was the book I have be waiting on, the other two seemed to be the slow burners but finally this one lit the fire and I was completely engaged.

Both Andrew and Andria have had to fight for their relationship, the whole time they have been up against external forces that just never seemed to want them to be happy but now they’re married they face the toughest battle, the battle to be left in peace to start their married life without the interference of others but I know, get real, it was never going to be that simple.

I loved the fact that Andrew in many ways was oblivious to the effect that he had on women, no, not that he didn’t know he was a drop dead gorgeous movie star- I know he knew that but in his head he was just Andrew and to him no-one else mattered because he only had eyes for Andria, so he was effectively blinkered, he paid no heed but that didn’t stop them trying.

Andria on the other hand could see the dangers and it was up to her to make sure that what they had didn’t fall victim to the skulduggery of the unscrupulous women that seemed determined to pray on her man.

The story centred on the fact that they had a relationship that they wanted to work and that they were both willing to work hard at giving themselves the best opportunity to succeed.

They loved, they laughed, they communicated, they lived but it was that normalcy that made their story all the more believable despite the fact that it was set in a realm that I could never understand, I understood their desire and their passion and their love for each other.

The Trouble with being a Movie Star’s wife (The Red Carpet #3) by Z.N. Willett

This book was well written with plenty of hot sex!!!!

It’s sad to say we have come to the conclusion of Andrew’s and Andria’s story but hopefully we can get to see them in other stories that Ms. Willet might write. I would love to see a story about Conner. This story was great I just simply loved it loved it!!!! I couldn’t put it down. . I laughed so hard a few times that my husband asked me to share of course I had him laughing also.

Alexandria Moore’s fantasy became her reality when she married her movie star Andrew Hughes. Now we get to watch Andrew and Andria fight their way through the minefield of a celebrity marriage.

They say Hollywood marriages don’t last. But we have watched them overcome the distance, adversity, jealousy and misunderstandings. We have also watched as they overcame the public scrutiny, old flames, and insecurities and deception and it made their relationship stronger?

Will they finally reach their happily ever after or will the pressures of Hollywood tear them apart?

Andrew and Andria just pulled me in from the beginning. What I j really should say Is I just loved all the characters especially the secondary characters like Taylor and Wade, Erin and Miles I loved Andria’s dad Dan and Andrews Mother Rebecca they helped bring this series alive.

Ms. Willet has done an outstanding job with this series and I can’t wait for what she has in-stored for us with her next book. I will definitely be looking out for her.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series and book 3 shows us the trials and tribulations of being married to someone well loved in the public eye.

Andrew and Andria are recently married and their hectic schedules don't allow for them to spend too much time together which they both find difficult. She is off to London to oversee filming of her newest novel and he's filming a movie in California. His co-star Jennifer is a flirtatious actress who makes the most of filming sex scenes with the great Andrew Hughes.

I saw Andrew's pants drop and it looked as if he was wearing a cocksock and nothing else. Now his ass was hanging out while her legs were wrapped around him on the desk.

No words could accurately describe how I felt at that moment. My hands tingled, my head throbbed, and everything hurt as I stood there and watch my husband perform a mock sex act with Jennifer. And Andrew had told me that I had nothing to worry about.


Add in the problems with the paparazzi, relatives they don't get along with and the everyday trials of a new marriage and it's a rollercoaster of a story.

I really enjoyed this series and have to say it made me think about what it would be like to be married to someone so famous.

I received this copy in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely fell in love with this series, and the author did not disappoint with the final book. Alexandria Moore's long time fantasy has come true. She's the wife of Hollywood's sexy leading man, Andrew Hughes. Nothing is simple though in a Hollywood marriage though, and they have gone through their share of dangerous minefields. With the love of their families, they are able to wade through the shark infested waters, but just as they thought things would calm down, will the new bigger pressures of Hollywood tear them apart?

WOW! I was captivated cover to cover. The character development continues to be amazing, with the awesome secondaries that only added to the awesomeness of this story. A highly addicting, beautiful, and well written story line flows effortlessly. ZN Willett does a fantastic job in writing, in my opinion, a realistically Hollywood relationship story, and not Disney happily ever after with cute forest creatures. The hot sexy scenes are awesome, and well placed humor had me laughing hard. Twists and turns are everywhere, and the all consuming love is magnificent while making me sigh in longing. I CANNOT WAIT to read more by this author in the future, so I happily HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Andrew and Andria has been through so much since the moment they first met. And now that they are husband and wife, more challenges will come their way. Andria needs to understand more of her husband’s job and how it will affect more of their lives and the future of their family.

Andrew is still the same naive guy when it comes to manipulative, conniving women. He just won’t listen to Andria when she calls it. But inspite of this flaw, she really loves Andria and worships the ground she walks on. I love how very down to earth Andrew is. How he only has eyes for Andria even if other girls are throwing themselves at him. Andria is learning on being a celebrity herself as one of the best authors out there.

I love that this book shows issues that are experienced not just by celebrities but by normal people. Communication is one of the most important keys that strengthen relationships, without it, the relationship will just fall. The author did an amazing writing on these series. I’ll be looking forward to her next books!

This is my first time reading anything by Z.N.Willett and I must say that I thoroughly liked this story. The author has given us a great story with a balance of good sex scenes and funny humor , and love. It's a journey through the power of love happiness and passion ,that shows us the readers the up and downs after the wedding ,it's hard work that takes both people to make the marriage thrive. This is Andria and Andrew's story. Andria and Andrew are married and love each other a lot but a still learning to deal with the many challenges of being married and famous. Andrew is really blind with the women who is trying to influence him in some way or other. But Andrew is totally devoted to his beautiful wife Andria and loves her totally. But poor Andria sees what these women are doing to him and tells him what she sees . Andria loves him dearly and worships the ground he walks on .I could go on and tell you much more about this touching story but that would spoil it for you. I highly recommend that you read this sweet story you won't be disappointed.

The Trouble With being a Movie Stars Wife is the third book in The Red Carpet Series.

Finally back with the Hughes...get ready for more trials and tribulations and a rollercoaster of a ride as Andria and Andrew try to overcome the daily struggles of being in the public eye and everything that comes with the territory of a celebrity marriage. Will they overcome the pressures put on them or will it finally tear them a part.

I've really enjoyed getting to know Andria and Andrew throughout all three books of the Red Carpet Series. I enjoyed their witty banter, chemistry and journey. I easily connected with certain issues that they had to overcome as I think most couples experience these too. Hopefully it won't be the end of their story...

Would recommend.

This book was my favorite of the series. I found it to be a fast read. Even though Andria and Andrew are married now they still have to deal with the many challenges of being famous. Andrew is still oblivious in some ways to women trying to manipulate him. Luckily he is devoted and completely in love with Andria. And she sees what other women are trying to do. This book feels like a more authentic Hollywood relationship with its ups and downs- in fact like any relationship. Communication is so key to success. The book has a great balance of sex scenes, humor, and love. It's a great book about the power of love and passion and that it's not rosy after the wedding. It takes a lot of work for both people for it to thrive and get your HEA.

This was the perfect ending to this amazing series! It was over-flowing with passion that was so tastefully written you got caught up in the flames yourself!

I couldn't put it down and basically read it start to finish. Nothing else has captured the every day struggles between husband and wife better especially when amplified by Hollywood. Hopefully every woman can see a little bit of Andria in herself and if only we could all be so blessed to have a best friend Erin and amazing lover Andrew in our lives!

Ok

It was okay that's it the characters I like but the way the story was written it felt rushed. I wanted to see Andrew's point of view also Andria is great but she didn't sound like a real person which is problem for me. The sex scenes were bland and the way it was written was clinical.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. At times I was a bit frustrated by them because the acted like young teenagers without a clue at times not adults in love. I love that they worked through everything in their way and finally became stronger and more mature as a couple
