Their characters are madly in love, which adds to the popularity of the show. The on-screen chemistry can not be denied by the two. The two were once a heavy item in real life until it everything crashed. Yes, they are still keeping it going until Lilah realizes she can\u2019t do it any longer.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Lilah leaves the show to venture off for other movie opportunities. Unfortunately, the market is not really looking for her. Television is different from film work, and Lilah decides to go back to her popular show to close out the final season. This time around, everything is different as their characters are forced to face their true feelings as well as Lilah and Shane in real life.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I liked the idea of the tv show being the main storyline to help pull the characters together. Lilah and Shane\u2019s characters are not actually an item on the show, but they love each other. They just haven\u2019t jumped into that relationship status. The irony is that in real life, the two jumped that ship, and it imploded quickly, leaving them both hurt is just the interesting twist.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">The company execs are noticing the tension on the set and nudge them to get therapy together to help iron out issues so they can get that old chemistry back. The problem is that too many emotions are surfacing.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">This is the perfect case of lovers to enemies and back again. I just love the banter and bickering. It adds to the sexual tension and excitement. Shane and Lilah have in tenfold. This was about to be the perfect five-star for me, but Lilah really did push my buttons a lot. I almost wish we could have swapped her as the main character of the actual story. The author does throw in another twist or two, which just pumped up the angst side, but I love how it all worked out in the end for them in real life and on screen.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">The story is light and fun, with just the perfect amount of angst for contemporary romance lovers.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_47bw234 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XtYmsS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3Nt2lRZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/will-they-or-wont-they-ava-wilder\/1142169988?ean=9780593358986\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/will-they-or-won-t-they\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Ava_Wilder_Will_They_or_Won_t_They?id=FYWHEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lilah Hunter and Shane McCarthy are madly in love\u2014at least, their characters are.

As the stars of the hit paranormal TV show\u00a0Intangible,\u00a0Lilah and Shane spent years pining for each other onscreen . . . until Lilah ditched the show at the end of season five in hopes of becoming a movie star. With no such luck, she\u2019s back to film the much-hyped ninth and final season, in which Lilah and Shane\u2019s characters will get together at last.<br \/><br \/>But coming back means facing one of the biggest reasons she left: Shane. Ever since their secret behind-the-scenes fling imploded at the end of season one, the two of them have despised each other.<br \/><br \/>Now reunited on set for the first time in years\u2014with the world\u2019s eyes on them and their post-show careers on the line\u2014they\u2019ll have to grit their teeth and play nice. But under pressure to give\u00a0Intangible\u2019s fans the happy ending they\u2019ve been waiting for, Lilah and Shane are forced to get closer than ever. And if they\u2019re not careful, they might just get blindsided by one final twist: a real-life happy ending of their own.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-top-pick-banner-1-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jun 27, 2023<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Random House<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Dell<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $11.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lilah<\/strong> and<strong> Shane<\/strong> both work on a popular paranormal tv show. Their characters are madly in love, which adds to the popularity of the show. The on-screen chemistry can not be denied by the two. The two were once a heavy item in real life until it everything crashed. Yes, they are still keeping it going until Lilah realizes she can\u2019t do it any longer.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Lilah leaves the show to venture off for other movie opportunities. Unfortunately, the market is not really looking for her. Television is different from film work, and Lilah decides to go back to her popular show to close out the final season. This time around, everything is different as their characters are forced to face their true feelings as well as Lilah and Shane in real life.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I liked the idea of the tv show being the main storyline to help pull the characters together. Lilah and Shane\u2019s characters are not actually an item on the show, but they love each other. They just haven\u2019t jumped into that relationship status. The irony is that in real life, the two jumped that ship, and it imploded quickly, leaving them both hurt is just the interesting twist.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">The company execs are noticing the tension on the set and nudge them to get therapy together to help iron out issues so they can get that old chemistry back. The problem is that too many emotions are surfacing.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">This is the perfect case of lovers to enemies and back again. I just love the banter and bickering. It adds to the sexual tension and excitement. Shane and Lilah have in tenfold. This was about to be the perfect five-star for me, but Lilah really did push my buttons a lot. I almost wish we could have swapped her as the main character of the actual story. The author does throw in another twist or two, which just pumped up the angst side, but I love how it all worked out in the end for them in real life and on screen.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">The story is light and fun, with just the perfect amount of angst for contemporary romance lovers.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XtYmsS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3Nt2lRZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/will-they-or-wont-they-ava-wilder\/1142169988?ean=9780593358986\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/will-they-or-won-t-they\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Ava_Wilder_Will_They_or_Won_t_They?id=FYWHEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30361"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30361\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30371,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30361\/revisions\/30371"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
