When Matty Devlin dies, Ruby is devastated. He wasn’t just her employer, he was her best friend, and her father-figure, and so she is determined to honour him by showing films he loved at work, which just happens to be an independent cinema that he owned.
Luke Devlin is Matty’s long lost nephew, who just so happens to look identical to his late father, a very famous actor, and when Luke shows up at the funeral, tongues are wagging.
This is quite a heart warming story, with a fiercely independent female lead in Ruby, and a pretty broody male lead in Luke!
There are a lot of references to films throughout this book, some of which shape the book.
I enjoyed the story, and found the characters to be quite diverse and believable.
I was given this book in exchange of an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley, One More Chapter and Heidi Rice.
