The palatial estate housing the endeavor is now run by the rude (brilliant) critic who's consistently slammed her performances of late. James \"Griff\" Ford-Griffin has a penchant for sarcasm, a majestic nose and all the sensitivity of a sledgehammer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e She can't take her eyes off him.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Griff can hardly focus with a contagious joy fairy flitting about near him, especially when Freddy looks at him like that. His only concern right now should be on shutting down his younger brother's well-intentioned (disastrous) schemes--or at the very least on the production (not this one) that might save his family home from the banks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Instead all he can think of is soft skin and vibrant curls.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As he's reluctantly dragged into her quest to rediscover her passion for the stage and Freddy is drawn into his research on a legendary theater star, the adage about appearances being deceiving proves abundantly true. It's the unlikely start of something enormous...but a single revelation about the past could derail it all.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e London Celebrities\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Book 1: Act Like It\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Book 2: Pretty Face\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Book 3: Making Up\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Book 4: The Austen Playbook\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Book 5: Headliners","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49579156898065,"sku":"GOR013524264","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50045731471633,"sku":"CIN1335006893G","price":5.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1335006893.jpg?v=1750890006","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/austen-playbook-book-lucy-parker-9781335006899","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
