One of her new clients--a gorgeous, well-connected, uber-rich widow--comes in search of a new lease on life in the form of no less than a social and sexual reawakening.

The Kirkus Review for Starstruck Romance and Other Hollywood Tails says: "A sexy romp through glamorous modern Hollywood as seen through the eyes of a self-possessed matchmaker who cannot find her own match.
