Title: Return To Us
Author: Christy Pastore
Genre: Contemporary Romance
I married the man of every woman’s dreams.
My husband is the leading man in their filthy fantasies. I know because they’ve told me.
Matthew Barber is Tinsel Town’s most sought-after movie star and I’m the girl next door. Tinley Atkinson, the former child star with an Ivy League education, and the daughter of a deceased Broadway legend.
Three short years later, it’s all crashing down.
We were the quintessential celebrity couple—Mattley, Hollywood’s Heartthrob and America’s Sweetheart.
We fell in love, and the whole world watched as our fairytale romance unfolded between the pages of glossy magazine spreads and candid moments splashed online.
The public is fascinated with the rumors swirling around us—I’m the jilted wife and he’s the no-good cheater. I’m infertile and years of drug abuse is to blame. He wants kids and I would rather have a career.
He’s the love of my life.
What am I going to do about that?
Marriage is tough and it’s even tougher in Hollywood, I’m ready to fight . . .
For me.
For him.
For us.

Christy Pastore can write an awesome Hollywood story. The characters are real, the story is believable, you turn the page one after another sucked into the world they live in just like it’s happening in real time. This is the 3rd book in this series. All can be read as standalones. Yet as we all know; the stories work so much better if read as a series.
In Return to Us, we get Matthew and Tinley’s story. Matthew the actor and Tinley the childhood actor who left and has now come back into the acting scene. Having been in the profession for quite some time, they both know that the tabloids are their worst enemy. Stories get fabricated from ex-employees wanting to make a quick dollar, to photos that are clicked at the perfect time to ‘make it appear’ as something it is not.
While these two are so in love, it’s hard to read the headlines, see the photos, listen to programs all spewing stories that are not true. But when your husband and you finally get a break in filming, to spend some alone time, it’s pretty hard to take it when he tells you that he had wanted to ‘cheat’ with his latest co-star. He didn’t but…. hearing those words from the person who promised to love you forever, next to you, in front of you, above the ground and below the ground….it hurts.
What this couple goes through is what so many couples who are not in the ‘spotlight’ go through. It was good to read how real-life struggles happen to the Hollywood Elite and what they do to try to overcome.
Out of the 3 books in this series, Return to Us was my favorite! True love does exist and when you truly love each other like Matthew and Tinsley do, you try to work through your problems instead of immediately throwing in the towel. Or you perfect your ax throwing and truly go for the bullseye!!!
