This was a good book! Lead Me Back is a standalone book and is Justin and Kayla's story. After a disastrous job situation in the fashion industry in NYC, Kayla leaves for LA to live near her sister and reacquaint herself with her estranged father. On her first day in town, she gets a new, local cell phone number. Her first call is from a older woman looking for her grandson, Justin, to do her a favor. Kayla doesn't know who Justin is, but she decides to do the favor for the older lady herself. When she arrives at the lady's house, she meets her grandson, who is actually Justin Beckett, the famous bad boy, boy band hottie. His band has recently broken up after some major drama and tabloid news. Justin changed his number to try to keep from being dragged in the band's drama and to clean up his reputation by distancing himself from the members. But he decides he still wants his messages from his old number and he is attracted to Kayla. So he hires her to give him his messages. So begins a fun flirtation between them. They both like each other and eventually begin a relationship. The two have to deal with Justin's drama and Kayla's past, but they come out together strong and in love in the end.
I really liked Justin and Kayla. Justin was a different kind of hero. He was part Justin Beiber and part Justin Timberlake to me. He was a modern guy and a star, but was really a doll and a sweetheart. He only had eyes for Kayla. Kayla herself was a sweet and snarky, take no stuff from others, kind of girl. She wasn't blinded by Justin's star power. But once she got to know him, she only had eyes for Justin too and was good at standing up for herself and not letting herself get walked all over. The two of them made a great match and had lots of fun banter. This was a safe, "low angst between the couple", witty read. Even though Justin was a star, I never felt a power imbalance between the couple. The story was good and the writing as well. I really enjoyed this one.
Overall, this was an entertaining, sexy and sweet read! I enjoyed seeing Justin and Kayla's relationship develop. I look forward to more from Ms. Reiss in the future.

About CD Reiss
CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up she's at the well hauling buckets.
Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.
She's frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn't ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood.
If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
