Sedmadvacetiletá scenáristka Elle získá šanci napsat velkofilm zasazený do New Yorku, jenže ji trápí těžká tvůrčí krize. Vrací se proto do města, z něhož před rokem utekla, aby načerpala inspiraci přímo na místech, která musí do scénáře zapracovat. Jejím dočasným sousedem je ale miliardář Parker Warren, s nímž sice kdysi sdílela žhavou chvilku na schodišti, ale od té doby jí leží v žaludku. Nakonec spolu uzavřou oboustranně výhodnou dohodu: on potřebuje falešný vztah, aby působil solidněji během chystané akvizice, a ona potřebuje svou „zvrácenou múzu“, aby scénář zvládla dopsat. Je to celé jenom jako. Dokud najednou není…

Twenty-seven-year-old screenwriter, Elle, has the chance of a lifetime to write a big-budget movie set in New York City. The only problem? She's had writer's block for months, and her screenplay is due at the end of the summer.In a desperate attempt at inspiration, Elle ends up back in the city she swore she would never return to, in an apartment she could never afford (floor-to-ceiling windows, skyline views, and a new coffee shop to haunt included). It's the perfect place to write her screenplay . . . until she realizes her new neighbor is tech 'Billionaire Bachelor' Parker Warren, her stairwell hookup from two years ago. It's been a lovers-to-enemies situation ever since.When seeing him again turns into a full night of hate-fueled writing, Elle realizes her enemy/twisted muse might just be the key to finishing her screenplay . . .if she can stand being around her polar opposite. She writes anonymously, and he's on the cover of every business magazine. He frequents fancy red-carpeted events, and she doesn't like leaving her emotional support five block radius.One summer.One wall apart.He needs to fake a buzzy relationship during his company's precarious acquisition. She needs to write a movie around a list of NYC locations.Both need a break from their unrelenting schedules, and a chance to rediscover the skyscraper-glimmering, pizza-crusted, sunlit charms of the city.Summers always end, and so will this agreement. It's all pretend. Promise.Until it isn't.

Série: Storočí

Vítejte na Storočí. Jednou za sto let se na souostroví Světlozory konají smrtelně nebezpečné hry. Vládci šesti říší jsou pozváni, aby proti sobě bojovali a dostali tak šanci zlomit kletbu, která po staletí sužuje jejich kraj. Každou z říší sužuje jiné, zcela jedinečné prokletí. Každý z vladařů něco skrývá. A každá kletba je zlomyslně krutá. Aby je mohli zlomit, musí jeden z vladařů zemřít. Isla je mladou vládkyní. Aby přežila, bude muset podvádět, lhát a zradit. I když jí cestu zkomplikuje láska... Sdílet Jakmile má něco nálepku „pro fanoušky Hunger games“ skočím po tom jako slepice po flusu. Knižní sérii z pera Suzanne Collins naprosto miluju, takže s díky kvituju cokoliv, co se jí podobá. Nicméně hodnotit tento začátek série pouze na základě podobnosti by nebylo úplně fér, knížka si totiž zaslouží mnohem více, než se jen ukrývat ve stínu jiné populární tvorby. Vezmu to tedy pěkně popořádku. Jedno vám však můžu prozradit už nyní, tenhle titul je po všech stránkách vypiplaný do nejmenšího detailu. Mou pozornost hned zkraje přilákala nádherná obálka, která, jak postupně zjistíte, má daleko hlubší význam, barva ořízky také není čistě náhodná, ale ukrývá určitou symboliku. Tyto drobnosti mě hodně potěšily. Celá recenze
