review 1: Alice finds a passed out movie star in her living room. He was so out of it that he had no idea where he was at the time. When he does come out of it Holden stays with her and they get to know each other. Well as much as Alice lets him as she is keeping a secret. One that could change everything between them. I loved this story of two people who are lost finding themselves in each other. For the first time Holden didn't have to worry that this was all about him being famous and Alice could be with someone who wasn't feeling sorry for her. Alice not being able to share her story was definitely going to put a hold on them going forward together though. I really enjoyed their sweet love story.I give Beyond Repair 4 hearts!
review 2: I don't want this story to be o
... morever - I want more of Alice and Bernie!!! Throughout the whole book, you're thinking one thing, then another, but everything just totally shocks you at the end - wow! Alice wakes up to find a strange man on her floor, in her house ... Not just any strange man, but Holden Freakin' Stark! A famous actor whom she knows very well on screen. At first she didn't know what to do - once she thought through her own fears, she discovered that he wasn't going to be waking up anytime soon. Struggling with her own demons, she gets him to the bathroom and turns on the shower - lol and you get to see HOW she does it. Not just by flicking the screen from her living room to the bathroom. But she makes sure you know she is a 5.5 girl and he is a 6.4 strong man - lol When Holden wakes with a start from the icy water, he doesn't know why, but he seems to be ok with where he is. These two have a great chemistry. Not just physical chemistry pulling them together, but their friendly barter is hilarious. Holden, aka Bernie is attracted to Alice - not because of her looks, but because she treats him like a regular person. He knows she knows who he is, but she still won’t look at him with eyes of a Fan. She can see him inside and out and know when he needs a hug, or when he needs to change the subject or when he's feeling down. And to him, that is everything he wants from a woman. Someone who cares if he's alive because she generally cares about him, not his next paycheck or appearance that he's supposed to do.. But Alice isn't who she appears to be. she is holding herself back. It's been years since she's been around anyone, let alone a man that makes her feel things that are foreign to her. She's afraid to let him see the real her. the part of her that shy’s away from every look and touch he gives her. The story is really touching - the fear she has is real, and for the longest time, you can't fully understand her fear until you know what she's going through. I really enjoyed this book - because it was about a famous actor wanting to be a regular guy, and a regular girl wanting to hide from herself and everyone around her. The way these two connect is just sweet and innocent. And Holden/Bernie is just a great guy. He sees that she's afraid of something, and he sees that she's a lot more innocent, just from the little things she does, and she's blown away by the feelings she finds herself having. Really hot steamy scenes are so innocent, but they are anything but :) really wish the story didn't end there. It would be exciting to see how their HEA plans out :) less
