Heather Leigh’s captivating, sexy story about Drew and Sydney continues in ABSOLUTELY FAMOUS. There are four books in the Famous series, this is the second book and continues where RELATIVELY FAMOUS left off.

In this book, Drew and Sydney’s fame causes problems in every facet of their lives, including their relationship. Drew is always concerned about Sydney’s safety and at times, his overprotective nature gets in the way of their relationship. It’s not easy, but Sydney tries her best to fit into the celebrity lifestyle. She must decide if she can handle the paparazzi constantly following them and the lack of anonymity that comes with Drew. Drew is all alpha male, with a wicked temper when he’s angry and in this book, he’s frequently frustrated, but his temper is never directed at Sydney. Drew is endearing and I love how his Boston accent becomes more pronounced when he’s upset. There are great secondary characters that add to this story. Sydney’s best friend Leah continues to be a big part of Sydney’s life and she always makes me laugh. Allie, Drew’s sister also plays a larger role in this book.

Drew and Sydney’s love is put to the test by circumstances beyond their control. Can their feelings for each other endure, while they deal with so many obstacles? I was touched by the deep feelings Drew and Sydney have for each other. They are always sensitive to each other’s needs, have a strong bond, trust each other implicitly and I when they get together, sparks fly. My only disappointment is waiting for the next book, to find out what happens next. There are still unresolved issues and I wonder how everything will turn out. Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down. I found myself immersed in Drew and Sydney’s world and disappointed when the book ended.
