Jasmine and Ashton are the stars of a new telenovela on the biggest streaming service in the United States, something that each of them hopes will help them on their way to bigger and better things, career-wise. Jasmine wants to become a TV leading lady (a la Jennifer Aniston) while telenovela veteran Ashton is hoping this move will help catapult him into more serious work (becoming the next Javier Bardem). While their onscreen chemistry is palpable, the two actors are a bit uncomfortable off-screen. Could that have to do with Ashton's privacy needs and the fact that Jasmine is a paparazzi magnet — and, of course, their mutual attraction?
A romance novel about telenovela stars whose characters are going through similar romantic issues? Um, YES PLEASE! I was initially a bit disappointed that there wasn't a single amnesia- or evil twin-related storyline, but really, that would have been too obvious and cheap for such a fantastic storyline. Daria creates a great, believable couple with real challenges and a perfect slow burn romance. I absolutely loved this, and I'm putting Daria on my "must read" list.
