About the Hot in Hollywood series

Hot in Hollywood is a two-book contemporary romance duology about the fallout from a career-defining scandal, years later. It opens with Ties That Bind, in which Cora Landers -- once a rising Hollywood star until a leaked sex tape ended her acting career and pushed her into a new life as a divorce attorney to A-listers -- is forced back into her ex Jack McArthur's orbit when he needs her legal expertise. Jack's career, unlike Cora's, only took off after the same tape went public, and years of buried resentment collide with old chemistry when he wakes up from his own bachelor party accidentally married to a stranger.

Published in 2017, Hot in Hollywood is a smaller, standalone-adjacent entry in Katee Robert's catalogue compared to her longer mythology- and mafia-based series, trading dark romance and world-building for a glossier industry-insider, celebrity-scandal contemporary romance. Readers who enjoy Robert's blunt, high-heat voice applied to a Hollywood-gossip premise rather than gods, mob families, or academies will find a quick two-book read here.

How to read this series

Publication order: Ties That Bind, then Animal Attraction. Both books are set in the same Hollywood-industry world with overlapping characters, so reading in order is recommended.
