What I Did for Love

Glamour, fame, and fortune: the life of a Hollywood star. Everyone knows your name, who your friends are, your films, family members, life story, personal drama...

In What I Did for Love, by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Georgie York leads this exact life. At first everything is certainly glamorous all around, until the paparazzi captures her heartbreaking divorce with one of the top actors in Hollywood and pastes it on the front cover of every popular entertainment magazine.

Georgie began her career as a star on the sitcom "Skip and Scooter", with her loathed costar, Bram Shepard. Everyone on the set catered to Bram and his dreaminess, while Georgie took a back seat and watched his career slowly go up in flames due to alcohol, drugs, and bad influences.

Now, it is Georgie's career that's going up in flames as the world is shown her every raw emotion and open wounds from her devastating divorce. To top it off, every headline on the entertainment magazines highlights some good deed that her ex-husband's new wife is performing to save the world.

Just as she thinks her life can't get any worse, she wakes up in bed with a strange man. This man just so happens to be Bram Shepard, and he just so happens to have their wedding certificate in the pocket of his pants.

Naturally, this scandal would shoot Georgie's career through the roof and most likely make it disappear forever, so she can't do anything but go along with the show, just like the good little actress she is. Luckily Bram agrees to go along, as well, since he's trying to resurrect his acting career from the dead. Plus, Georgie agrees to pay him.

Flames and fire shoot through Bram's house as the not-so-happy newlyweds try to get along for the paparazzi. As the drama unfolds, Georgie begins to see the bad boy in a new light, and Bram concludes that there's nothing wrong with being a goody-goody. But it's all part of the act, right?

What I Did for Love is an excellent novel full of scandal, deceit, and of course, lots of acting. This book brings the Hollywood life into a new light and places an excellent heroine in the spotlight. With humor and many surprise romances, readers will love following the adventures of Georgie York and Bram Shepard.
