Genre: romcom Content: makeouts Oh my, there is just so much to say about this sweet story! I loved it; it’s such a great conclusion to the series. Obviously, I was here for Stevens and Alana’s love story but it was so much fun to see all of the other Marbellans (I’m making this a thing 😂) that we already know and love. Some things you can look forward to: 🕵️hidden identity 📸 celebrity romance ⭐️ word games 🏝️time in coves ⛵️boat rides 🌮 tacos (say less!) 🤓 hot marine biologists in glasses I loved the way that Alana & Stevens got to know each other, truly know each other, and how they were both so head over heels for the other one. Alana did all she could to protect Stevens from the ugly side of fame, and Stevens was supportive in all the right ways. And I need a brief shout out to that proposal at the end because it was PERFECTION. Also, Savannah, can Brigitte get a book at some point? She was fabulous! Favorite Quotes: 🤣This is bad. So bad. And amazing. So amazing. But mostly, it's bad. 🧜🏼‍♂️He's like Poseidon, emerging from the depths with a swagger and confidence that belies the fifteen minutes of our first encounter at Joel's boat. This man is not that man—not at all-and yet, he is. 🏃‍♂️ Stevens looks down the finger of boat slips at Henry, then back at me. "You know that guy?" "If I didn't? Are you ready to defend my honor?" "I'm ready to haul you back into this boat and hit the gas. I'm a runner not a fighter." I laugh. "I think that's supposed to be a lover. You're a lover, not a fighter." "Maybe that's some other guys' story. Not me. I'm a runner." He winks. "If you're ever in danger, I'll drive the getaway car—or boat." 🌮 "I want to send her..." Is this crazy? It may be. But it's the best I've got. "Tacos." "Oh. My. Gosh! You want to send her tacos!""It's bad? Right? It's bad. Okay. Okay. Not tacos." "Nooo! It's flipping AWESOME! Where did you come from, you taco-sending merman? Are there others in your species? This is incredible.” 👓 And he's wearing his glasses. Good night. This man will be the death of me in those glasses. And we both know he only wears them for reading, so he's wearing them just to taunt me now. And I am here.for.it. 😍 With me, she can be anyone she needs to be. All her moods, her struggles, her silliness, her silence—I'm here for it all. I can give her a place to relax, to fall apart, to be held. I will never take for granted the privilege of being that man for her as long as she allows me to be. ❤️ "You're not going to tell him?" I ask Stevens. "Later. I'll give him a little while longer to marvel at the fact that a woman like you fell for a guy like me." I chuckle. "It's not that far-fetched." "Did you hit your head? It's totally far-fetched. But you're mine now, and we're not practicing catch and release. Remember?" "I do remember. I'm yours." 🌪️ "I want this life or any life with you. And I don't want a future without you, so I'm here to step into the whirl-wind. We'll face the public criticism, the paparazzi, and your parents, together from now on."

I absolutely loved Stevens & Alana's sweet, caring, funny, loving, protective , swoony story!!!

Oh, this review is going to be difficult to write. Why? Because if you've read a Savannah Scott book, you will understand how difficult it is to put into words just how perfect her books are. And I mean PERFECT! My main genre to read is historical, but I do love a good contemporary. Savannah Scott is one of the greatest writers of the contemporary genre. I love how her books are fun, romantic, and the cause of many smiles and laughs while reading. Reel Love is a celebrity romance with humor, a group of characters that will feel like your second family, and a romance that will steal your heart from page one. This was my third book by this author, and it might be my favorite yet! THE ROMANCE. Savannah Scott knows how to write a swoony romance! Alana and Stevens were a fun couple to read about, and I loved reading how they got to know each other (unknowingly) before they were able to officially meet. Reel Love is THE celebrity romance book. This well-written, humorous story filled with romance and friendship was the perfect feel-good read that I won’t easily forget. I already want to go back to page one and read it again!

You've got Mail and Notting Hill vibes! An adorable Celebrity secret identity romcom, you won't want to miss! You are going to absolutely adore Stephens! I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did! I received an ARC from the author and all opinions are my own.

So sad to see the Love Trippin' series end, but it left with a real bang! I'm gonna need more stars than 5 for this one. Savannah keeps bringing the swooniest stories, and I can't get enough. This is a Closed-Door, Dual POV, starlet, marine biologist, small island living, meddling friends, found family, Scrabble, "You've Got Mail" vibes, and lots of flirty banter. It was so fun to see a final glimpse of all the characters we've come to love from these books. There's even an easter egg linking to the next series! I can't wait to see where Savannah takes us next.

Stevens + Alana = Perfection!!! Y'all, I just can't even tell you how much I adored this book!!! It is another one of those that became an instant favorite book to be on my forever favorites shelf!!! I did not want it to end at all!!! I wanted more and more about these two. All of the You've Got Mail vibes were utterly charming and adorable! And talk about the swoon factor being super high on this one!!! Friends to more is the best ever!!! I'm so sad that this series is over! This is book #5 in the Love Trippin' series and is one I highly recommend you not miss reading! You can read it as a standalone. But it is fun having read all of the previous books, except the first one (which I want to read soon), and being able to see all of those characters together throughout the books of this series and get to know them better and to see them after their book ends. I just love that aspect about series so much! Another fun thing, this author has another book that I absolutely love and is on my forever favorites shelf and there are a couple of scenes where those characters are on Marbella Island and see a couple of characters from this series. So fun!!! This book has so much heart to it that it's hard not to be fully pulled in and immersed and invested in these characters' happiness. All of the family and friend vibes just made my heart so happy. And really had me laughing over some of the antics of the characters, main and secondary ones! I just adore Savannah Scott's writing! She makes me so happy! I love that I know the books will always be clean and wholesome but move me emotionally and have me cheering for these characters to find joy and healing and love! I can't recommend reading this one enough!!! Farewell Marbella Island, until I visit again in rereading these books!!! Content: Clean. Some kisses but nothing further. Happy Reading!!!
