I knew Sarah Robinson was going to send us off with a dazzling finale in this series, but never did I imagine I'd be hanging on every word. Incredibly painful at times, sizzling hot and captivated by the story. It's best to climb right in your reader and enjoy the ride. It's nothing short of amazing.
We meet Simone, who is working on a live, music based movie, on the heels of the almost win of a national singing competition while dealing with a heartbreaking tragedy. I loved Simone, she's strong and confident.
Enter Grant who is flying in from his home in New Zealand to pull the score together for the show and he meets Simone. Grant is a grouch, he's got his reasons, but still a grouch! Of course they butt heads, of course he's a bit difficult. His life is up in the air right now and he's got a boatload of very real problems to deal with thanks to his ex-wife. His ex is a real piece of work. He also has plans for the future when he's done with this show. Watching these two knock heads but also embrace what was happening between the two of them was the best part of the book. Seeing the sisters again along with their children was great. I loved their relationship. It's what matters.
The book is flawless, the story flows, the dialogue is stellar and Sarah will pull you right into the story. The dual epilogues were perfection. Fabulous, emotional read.

Wounded hearts get a chance to heal. Robinson takes the broken and makes them whole. The beauty of the Exposed series is that images can be deceiving. There's drama under the surface waiting to bubble over. It's how the people handle the fallout that makes the stories so intriguing. Sheer is the beginning of the end for an unforgettable series. As Grant and Simone find their way in the industry of bright lights and heartache, each tackles hard knocks in their personal lives and insecurities in their professional ones. The fault in our stars is that we all have flaws. It's the lessons we learn and the peace we find from working through them, that helps us become who we're meant to be. Gritty, sensitive and inspiring tale.
I just felt... so meh as I read this. The two MCs read as really flat characters to me, and then I kept feeling like I was missing something. I respect that this is a stand alone, but the 3 in the triology are so connected that I feel it's a misnomer.
All in all, not for me.
Romantically hot and lovingly sexy. A great story and read. You know you want to get to the end, but don't want it to finish.
I really loved this series and enjoyed he Reynolds sisters.
Grant and Simone had a cute but predicable story. I must admit, I wanted more from this story. I felt at times, it left me hanging with details (like where did he ex do with the money). I did really like the extended epilogue.

Better than the second book, but still not as good as the first.
If you've read the first two, you know what tragedy hits the family. Tears. Loved Grant and Simone they were amazing together in the bed, working on the film, and marking off the bucket list. The ex wife was a piece of work. Two great epilogues, one with just Grant and Simone and one five years in the future with all the sisters. Loved the mention of Rory Kavanaugh (hahahaha).
The third and final book in the Hollywood Romance series, Sheer makes it's way on my favorites' list. Even though I'm going to miss these characters, I really like how Sarah brought the Reynolds sister stories to a close.
Sheer is the final book in this series, it was an amazing story with loads of emotions and drama. I loved the chemistry between Simone and Grant, it was burning hot. I loved how they each fought for what they wanted and how very well these two matched. I recommend this one.
Sarah Robinson has become one of my favourite romance writers. With her unique blend of emotional, passionate and steamy love stories she brings to life the most unforgettable stories. Her Hollywood Romance series is a little lighter than her Legends series and tells the story of the three Reynolds sisters. “Sheer” is about the youngest sister, Simone and unfortunately is also the last book of the beloved trilogy. Simone has always come across as the wild child. The one with the tattoos and devil may care attitude. In Sheer we see her without her defences. A vulnerable woman who realises that she has never fallen in love and desperately seeks the soul scorching love that her older sisters have found.
Grant Mercer is one of the premier music composers in the industry. It seems that anything he touches turns to gold. Of course his blonde hair and intense green eyes along with his muscular body and New Zealand accent also help in gaining him female attention. However, he is also battling demons from his past, more specifically, his ex-wife. Having cheated on him with his best friend she has also embezzled money from his charities using his name. Now he is a wanted man and will be arrested the moment he returns to New Zealand. He has no intention of falling in love or starting a relationship. The only thing he wants and needs now is a no-strings attached, fun and hot fling. And Simone Reynolds with her sultry voice and hot body is exactly what he needs.
The only complaint I have is that the book was too short for my liking. I can’t get enough of Sarah’s writing and would have loved to have been able to spend more time with Simone and Grant! Another family saga ends and I can’t wait to discover what Sarah’s next series will be about. I sure hope that it will be a long one!!! Hollywood Romance is a glamorous, glittery series that shouldn’t be missed!!!
This is the first story in this series I've read and let me say I will be reading the first 2 now also. This was a well written story which I devoured.

Grant and Simone are a beautiful disaster!!!
When two broken people realize together is what might just make them whole.
"The writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shocking moments."
Well let me start by saying I have become a huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.
Authors Blurb: Grant Mercer is on the run from his secrets…
This was supposed to be an easy assignment—travel halfway across the globe and compose the musical score for an upcoming Hollywood movie by one of the biggest production companies in Los Angeles. One and done like dozens of times before. I wasn't supposed to have my entire life crumble around me the moment my plane took off. I wasn't supposed to meet her.
Intriguing and covered in ink, Simone enters my life like a storm, leaving only heartbreak in her wake. I should keep my distance. Hell, she should keep hers. Instead, we did the exact opposite.
Simone Reynolds is mending a broken heart…
Just months after finaling in one of television's most watched singing competitions, I should be riding the high of my life. I should be celebrating starring in a musical film predicted to rock the box office. It's hard to bask in my success when my family is suffering a loss we never saw coming. And then there's Grant—brooding and rugged and an absolute pain in my ass as he messes with my movie.
He's as broken as I am, but the perfect harmony is only a leap of faith away.
I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.
Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕
4.25⭐
Sheer was a very endearing, absorbing romance. That pulled me in from the start and was extremely hard to put down. Thanks to the characters and a story that was not only fast paced, but mixed heat, angst and sweetness really well. And I really liked the double epilogue. That not only perfectly rounded off Simone and Grant's story. But the story of these three sisters who have supported each other through thick and thin and found happiness along the way.
And I would happily recommend this story and series to others.
