Grateful to Taryn for giving him time to be himself and be at peace, Ryan looks at her and her bar as havens. She’s the perfect friend for Ryan, someone who won’t pursue him, scream her love for him, or act like the hordes of fans who throw themselves at him.

Ryan is a solid guy, who is trying to cope to the best of his ability with his fame while Taryn, having recently caught her fiancé having sex with another woman, is not looking for another relationship.

Ryan is harried and a little frightened which makes Taryn want to give him respite before she must open the bar to the public. She hasn’t seen his most recent popular film, or any of his movies at all for that matter, although she does recognize him. When Seaport, RI bar owner Taryn Mitchell opens her doors and gives shelter to super popular A-list movie star Ryan Christensen, he is being chased by fans and paparazzi. Reber takes the modern fairytale and using incredible detail shows how a dream come true might not be for everyone and might be much more work at greater cost than most of us want in our personal romances. Isn’t it a universal dream of most girls to grow up and have the handsome prince fall in love with them? And doesn’t the modern corollary change the prince into either a mega-popular film or rock star?
