Love Interest #9 (Big Star, Small Town #2) by Mia Summers

 Book #2 in this series follows the story of Lucas Stone, the best friend of Ryan Jones (the famous actor in book #1) and he is also a Hollywood hunk. In book one, Lucas is scouting a film location for the majority of the book and this is the story of what he's doing while Ryan is handcuffed to Olivia. Rachel has recently broken up with her wealthy, cheating ex-boyfriend who has moved back home to Canyon Ridge, WA from New York City after being let go her museum job. After living with her dad and stepmom (who is also her former college roommate) she gets her old high school job back as a wilderness tour guide for a local hotel, which also gives her a room of her own at the hotel. She is an experienced local guide who ends up helping Lucas scout locations for his film and she is not a fan of rich people so you can imagine how spending loads of time together goes for them. 

I really liked the crossover from the first book with Lucas, as we met him in the first book and he was a likable character. The nature descriptions are excellent and make you feel like you're really walking around in Washington state nature. The detail included in the hiking descriptions is exceptional. I like Lucas's character more than the male MC in the first book, he comes off as a very happy and all around nice guy. His character also has some depth, regarding his childhood. I don't know why but it seems like he's softer than the male MC in the last book, which is more appealing to me. The ending was super sweet and I really did enjoy this book. I think I liked it more than the first of the series, actually.
