It is not an angsty, drama-filled plot that I sometimes find annoyingly heavy, especially when my main goal when I buy and read books is to enjoy myself. This book, like Ms Ewens' other stories, is faithful to the tagline on her website her books truly are smart romances with happy endings. My only wish about this book is that I wish it had a longer epilogue. That little snippet was not enough to satisfy my hunger for more of Meg and West.
I am not related to Ms Ewens. This is not a paid review. I do not know her.
I am just a fan of her writing. But if you haven't heard about Tracy Ewens before, do check out her other books too. The characters in them are all connected somehow, though you don't have to read them in any particular order. Each book works as a stand alone, but I ended up purchasing the other books because I wanted to learn more about the secondary characters that popped up in the different books.
Kenna from Reserved is Logan's sister. Logan's love story is the first book I read Taste Taste is one of my favorites. That being said, I hope the next books are about West's brothers! Oct 04, Kimberly rated it really liked it. Such a great story of opposites attract.

When she comes home for a family visit, she finds out that her sister Anna is getting married and her other 3 sisters lay on the guilt so heavily that it makes Meg realize that she's missed out on so much of their lives. So after a lot of thinking, she goes on indefinite leave from National Geographic and starts to build roots in San Francisco. Only her creative side is stumped.

When he meets the Meg before he introduces her and realizes that she's panicking, he talks her down enough that she's able to go on stage and give her speech. West has never met anyone like Meg; she's not impressed by his celebrity nor how famous he is. That's a rarity for him. Besides the fact that she's beautiful and she doesn't even know it, is mind boggling to him.
It's also very refreshing. When they are both asked to do 3 public appearances together, Meg is pushed into the job by her agent, as is West. They start spending a lot of time together in between appearances. He knows that he should stay away from her other than appearing for the events, his world will crush her spirit, but he can't seem to stop himself.
Will their crazy chemistry take over and decide for them? How will Meg handle the constant paparazzi that follows West wherever he goes? And the endless autographs that interrupt every outing and meal they attempt to have? Is Meg be strong enough to endure it all? Or will he walk away first?

Exposure : A Love Story by Tracy Ewens (, Paperback) | eBay
As my first Ewens book I started reading without prejudice and found myself sucked into this very private relationship and I couldn't stop reading. This is the eighth book in the series and from what I figure each is a standalone but the last few have Meg's sisters.
Wes has three brothers so I'm hoping for more from them. My review was written voluntarily after reading an advanced copy from Netgalley. I got this paperback from bookworm box and is honestly not one I would usually pick up for myself. With that said, I did enjoy this read. Anyway, lately, my reading preferences and choices were frustrating and very much not satisfying. So back to my self-interrupted review, I def adored this read, these characters and the whole theme.
Perhaps it served almost like a palate c I got this paperback from bookworm box and is honestly not one I would usually pick up for myself. Perhaps it served almost like a palate cleanser regarding my worse-than-dead slump? But that's not to say I had reduced this one as some kind of a neutral taste. Just something different than usual, something refreshing in my opinion and in my case. I def really liked Meg and Wes.
Two different people with two similar cores. I mean, outwardly, they seemed worlds away with one another. But underneath said surface, peeling of their layers, they were pretty much the same where it mattered. Oct 11, Tayahlou rated it liked it Shelves: The to and fro between the two main characters was entertaining and I fell in love with West and Meg in their moments together. The two had an fun dynamic because of the differences in personalities but these really complimented each other and I loved how Meg understood and supported West.

Just a fantastic romance Looking forward to reading others in this series, but it can be read as a standalone. Oct 15, Traci Cauthen rated it liked it. I got this in my bookworm box. I just feel like I have read the story before. Through the whole book I kept thinking the same thing. Read the summary, you may love it. Jun 11, Jill rated it it was ok. I didnt realize this book was part of a series when i started reading.
I recieved the book in a monthly subscription. Obviously none of the books in the series are linked together because I had no problem following along. The story did end abruptly for me but over all it was an okay read for me. Mar 27, Jaime rated it really liked it. The wildlife photographer and the pretty boy actor.
I really liked getting to know them. Meg and West were elusive to their families - - they both hard some hard exteriors. Armor yet Meg and West saw past that. It was wonderful to what them knock walls down. I can't wait for more Foghorn brothers stories!! ARC received from NetGalley for an honest review. Aug 05, Pascale Poitras rated it it was amazing. They are all similar- strong women fall in love Can't wait for her next book. Time somehow stands still when I read a Tracy Ewens story. Jun 20, Debbie Clark rated it it was amazing.
This is a love story with all the clumsiness and intimacy you could imagine. I love West, the action star, who is really down to earth. Meg, a photographer, used to being out in nature is great experiencing life in the city. The two of them together are awesome. Oct 29, Deb rated it it was ok. I found this to be a very slow read for me, even though it was a simple enough book..

Meg, especially, I could find no common ground with, at all. I loved the story line and the twists of this novel. The only issue I had was the amount of typos. It really causes me to lose my connection.

Each book has new jobs, and perspectives on life that pull you in. May 11, Bungluna rated it really liked it Shelves: Solid friends to lovers, slow burn romance. I can't remember how I found my way to this author, but I sure will be looking up her back list to read the entire series! Mar 28, LJT rated it liked it. So when Exposure became available, I requested it. Unfortunately, the wording was choppy at times and the plot was missing some zing. On a more positive note, the cover is appealing and the character's are well-developed.
This is the eighth book in the series and it can be read as a standalone. This is the love story between Meg Jeffries, an award-winning wildlife photographer, and Westin Drake, a 3.

They hit it off immediately, and over a very short period of time they fall in love. The premise of this book is good and the emotional scenes are quite meaningful. The plot becomes less believable when Meg has a makeover, goes out for a run, and then comes home to redo her hair and make-up because she has to attend an event in the late afternoon. Family plays an important role in this novel, and the author does a nice job of introducing and bringing about the many facets of the secondary characters. Overall, a fair read. Complimentary copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley.
Sharni rated it liked it Apr 08, Lynette rated it really liked it Apr 22, Angie rated it it was amazing Jan 02, There are no discussion topics on this book yet. Tracy Ewens is a recovered theatre major who writes smart contemporary romance from a beautiful piece of Arizona desert. When not working on her next book, she drinks copious amounts of tea, prefers an exit row seat, and reads well past her bedtime. The characters are fine. The romance is fine. If you want anything better than fine, well this isn't the book for you. There is nothing new or innovative about the plot, which honestly felt forced.
Meg and West meet and he kisses her on the cheek -- in no world is a chaste kiss on the cheek something that gets the tongues wagging. Not in the present-day, anyway. Maybe if this book was supposed to take place in the 's, this would have been believable, but it didn't and it wasn't. The fact that this is the catalyst for the whole book is ridiculous.
Exposure - A Love Story
I also had an issue with the pacing, which was a bit all over the place. This would have been alright had the relationship developed evenly over that time period, but it didn't. For the most part, the romance was all in the final third. Personally, I hate it when authors do this because it makes me think of the real person, and it always makes me wonder if that is the point.
This type of thing feels like lazy writing -- as if the author is relying on the readers' feeling for the real person that the character represents to create feelings for their character. For Meg, she was trying to figure out how to go back to living in one place instead of traveling from place to place, looking for the next great picture.
Buying a toaster is a big thing for her. Her entire story arc is basically an ode to "adulting". I also enjoyed the romance, once it actually showed up, and how Ms. Ewens used San Francisco and its cultural history as a backdrop.
In fact, my favorite scene involved West dragging Meg out of bed at 4 in the morning to take a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. I am not a bridge person and I hated my own experience walking across that bridge when I was a kid, but I enjoyed their fog-filled adventure.
Exposure : A Love Story by Tracy Ewens (2017, Paperback)
Another part of this was the fact that West lived in the Fairmont Hotel, which is you know your San Francisco history is kind of iconic. The original hotel was built in and was supposed to open right around the time of the earthquake. Unfortunately, things didn't work out for the original structure and it had to be rebuilt -- by Julia Morgan, the first female architect in the US! This was a little odd for me, considering my grandfather actually knew Tony Bennett they served together in WWII , but it was also sweet. Finally, the relationship between West and Towner, an employee at the hotel I'm not quite sure what her job actually was , was awesome.
West needed someone who was going to tell him what he needed to hear instead of what they wanted him to do or what they thought he wanted to hear. Their relationship was very maternal and you could tell that she wanted what was best for him. Hopefully, one of her other books will be more my speed.
