About the Book:
When it comes to love, one thing’s for sure–it doesn’t follow a script!
Athena Pappas is the head writer on Stars Collide, one of the most popular sitcoms in television history. But when Vegas comedian Stephen Cosse is brought in to beef up the show’s suddenly sagging ratings, she starts to worry about her job. Sparks fly as the competition–and attraction–between the two writers heats up. Athena has never had a problem writing the romances of her characters. So why is her own love life so hard to script?
With humor and a Hollywood-insider viewpoint, Hello, Hollywood! delivers lots of laughs as Athena and Stephen discover that not being in control of the plot of their lives might just be the best thing that ever happened to them.

My Review:
Janice Thompson is one of my favorite Christian fiction writes. She blends laugh out loud comedy with sweet romance and inspiration. She packs that with lovable characters and a fun plot line and turns out novels that her readers are sure to get lost in.
Hello Hollywood is book two in the Backstage Pass series. I fell in love with this series when I read Stars Collide. Absolutely LOVED the characters in that one and they are back in full swing in book two, this time, it’s Athena’s whirlwind story.
As the head of writing for the sitcom, Athena has to come up with a new script for Stars Collide. Something to burst the ratings back to the top. But, she’s not having such an easy time of it. In fact, her world crashes when she realizes that there’s a new writer on board…..Stephen Cosse. Oh, is she ever in for a fun lovin’ treat when this comic enters the scene.
But, along with Stephen, Athena deals with his daughter Brooke. Both are quickly taking up residence in heart. Will it be enough? Will Stephen help Athena write the script for her own happy ever after?
Watching Athena and Stephen’s characters come together was a true treat! I LOVED them! Along with them, Thompson mixes up the old gang with the new, and really made a fantabulous second installment. If you are a fan of romance and laughs, inspiration and mishaps, then this is THE book to find all of that and so much more. With 4 Books and high recommendation, this is a book you won’t want to miss. I can’t wait to see what Backstage Pass #3 is like!
