About this ebook
From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Gemma Halliday comes a female reporter with a stalker, a hot bodyguard with a problem, a dead body, a little romance, and a lot of laughs!
Tina Bender is the gossip columnist at the infamous L.A. Informer tabloid. She knows everything about everyone who's anyone. And she's not afraid to print it. That is, until she receives a threatening note, promising, "If you don't stop writing about me, you're dead." Suddenly finding out who's who in Hollywood has become a dangerous game of cat and mouse—one that Tina can't afford to lose!
Now not only is Tina being benched by her managing editor (Felix Dunn from the High Heels Mysteries) and saddled with a hot bodyguard crimping her style, but she's also fighting a bubbly blonde newbie reporter for her own story! Add in a crew of eclectic tabloid reporters, an adventurous octogenarian aunt, one hilariously hapless trip to the "happiest place on earth," and an online romance heating up her life, and Tina has her work cut out for her uncovering which tabloid darling wants her cancelled for good. Is it the spoiled tween TV show starlet with secret, Pippi Mississippi? The raging rock star in rehab with a temper? Or the movie producer on trial for inappropriate advances? All Tina knows is that when the threats turn into an actual dead body, the clock is ticking to find out which juicy piece of Hollywood gossip is worth killing over...before she becomes its next victim!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fluffy. Take 1 paparazza, one scandal rag, a lot of testosterone, and a boatload of snarks and humor and you have a nice beach read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read. While I was completely thrown by who the murderer actually was, I was able to nail who the mystery guy online was right away. Although I knew who the mystery guy was I did enjoy trying to find out who the murderer was.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received this book in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This book had me laughing literally out loud. Tina Bender is unapologetically true to herself and shows the gumption most of us only dream about. The author includes Aunt Sue and Aunt Millie who are hysterical and make me want to be just like them when I'm in my 80s. Tina is a writer for a gossip column that focuses on celebrity lives. She taunts the wrong person and unwittingly becomes a target for one person who is offended by Tina's column. Let the humor begin!!!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hollywood Scandals (Hollywood Headlines, #1) by Gemma HallidayTina is a writer for a "Gossip Magazine". She is feisty, fun and loves her job, life is good. Then she gets a death threat, unless she stops writing about someone. She teams up with a body guard and a few other writers to try to solve this mystery.A fast paced story with likable characters, humor, mystery and murder. A classic "who-done-it" writing style, set in Hollywood, keeping you guessing until the end. Overall I found Hollywood Scandals quite enjoyable and feel those who enjoy a cozy murder/mystery will enjoy as well.
