This Rec League was sent in by Kim. Thanks, Kim!

I’d love to see a Rec League about celebrity crush romances—where one MC is the celeb crush of the other MC, who is just a regular person. Strongly prefer MM, but I know that may be too niche. I’m really interested specifically in preexisting celeb crushes, not just “one character is a celebrity” plots. Open to actor crushes, sports, music, etc.

This request is brought to you by Cait Nary’s LUCKY BOUNCE (I have worn out the virtual spine of my ebook copy re-reading it).

Amanda: Any pairings are welcome!

Shana: Fan Service by Rosie Danan fits but is m/f. The heroine has longtime crush on an actor who turns into a werewolf.

Elyse: Stars in Your Eyes by Karen Callender ( A | BN | K ): Hollywood bad boy and a up and coming star

Darkhearts by James L Sutter. Ex-best friend is now a major pop star.

If This Gets Out by Sophie Gonzales ( A | BN | K | AB ) – members of a boy band (YA).

The Rules of Royalty by Cale Dietrich ( A | BN | K | AB ) (stretching celeb to include Royals).

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun – reality TV. ( A | BN | K )

Tara: I can think of two f/f romances that fit the bill. Tempting Olivia ( A ) is about a very famous actor who needs a divorce lawyer and hires someone who’s had a crush on her for years.

I also recently finished Make or Break by E. J. Noyes ( A | BN | K | AB ), which has one of the lead actors on a police drama and the key makeup artist falling for each other. They’ve had mutual crushes for years and finally act on it.

What celebrity crush romances would you recommend?
