Brent Stark is a falling star. His days in the Hollywood limelight ended when he was in a drug and alcohol induced accident. Now, after spending time behind bars, he is in AA trying to get his life back on track. The others in his AA meetings are very supportive of him, especially when they get wind that complete strangers are asking about Brent and checking into his background.

The strangers turn out to be lawyers from a huge west-coast law firm, and they are making sure that Brent is on the up-and-up before they approach him about a role in a film—which could possibly be the role of a lifetime.

Celia Breach has never forgiven Brent for the hurts in inflicted—and now she is asked to do the unthinkable, and trust Brent again—when she finds herself cast as Brett’s co-star.

Award winning author, Davis Bunn, has penned another page-turner, with MY SOUL TO KEEP. The writing is strong, with an opening paragraph that draws the reader into the story with a lot of questions about Brent Stark. The cast of secondary characters are strong, each with their own distinct personality.

I didn’t really grow to care for Brent—the Hollywood lifestyle is not something I’ve ever really been interested in—but the story is gripping, with an unlikely team, armed with faith and vision fighting the Hollywood bigwigs that want to see their venture fail. Don’t miss MY SOUL TO KEEP. $13.99. 395 pages.
