My Hero’s A Sexy Movie
Star – Basically the kind of man that makes women drool as they spend time pouring
over the latest tabloids to find out what he’s up to. “Julia’s Star” is
where the lifestyles of the rich and famous meets small-town girl. In case
you’re wondering, culture shock sets in as the two work to find a way to meld
their two worlds into one satisfying whole. Thankfully, Jason MacKenzie, is a
man of many layers – sex appeal by the boat load, money and fame galore but
also has a definite soft spot for a sexy widow and her three amazing children
who live in rural California. Instead of me extoling his virtues, let’s let Jason
answer some of our questions in his own words:
Age:
38 – old enough to have learned the hard way that it’s
a bad idea to hook up with a woman who is not right for me.
Physical
Description:
A woman’s pirate-fantasy come to life. Think Errol
Flynn only better looking, my face more chiseled, with greater muscle
definition and hot six-pack abs included – basically, women don’t seem to have
any complaints about my appearance.
People’s
First Impression of You:
Playboy all the way, awe-inspiring but for the life of
me I can’t figure out why. Guys want to be me and women throw themselves at me.
I’m just a man who puts his pants on one leg at a time like everyone else.
Likes:
I love my job, can’t wait for the next great script,
spending time with my family – even my quirky Mom who can’t understand why I’m
not married and giving her grandchildren – and yes someday I’d like to give her
those grandkids. Oh, and before I forget, I love the fact that I can pick and
choose my parts now that I’m considered a ‘somebody.’
Dislikes:
People who pretend they like me but really want to be
with me so I can do something for them. I hate being used. Unfortunately it
goes with the territory. I’ve learned to live with it and the suspicion about
people’s motives that creates.
Relationship
Status:
Divorced – man that took me down a few notches. Apparently
I’m not every woman’s dream. The
experience made me cautious. I definitely plan to look before I leap the next
time – and I’m sure there will be a next time, especially after I met that
luscious, adorable, little redhead the other day.
Best Memory
to date:
The day I got my first
acting job. What a trip that was! It was just a bit part but it was my chance
to prove I had what it takes to be a star. Of course, in those days, I thought
it was all about being a star, hitting the big time. Luckily my family and my
best friend, Pete, never let my head get too big and kept me grounded.
Worst
Memory:
The day I realized that I was hurting Barbara, my ex,
and knew she could never live in my world and I couldn’t live in hers. I don’t
like failing and you can’t fail bigger than having your marriage end in
divorce. I believe in ‘till death do us part’ and I really messed it up.
Typical
Friday Night:
Attending a charity or industry function with a
gorgeous woman on my arm – maybe on each arm since I need to keep up
appearances. But if you really want the truth, I prefer a quiet evening at home
with a few friends – no fans, no paparazzi – just being a regular guy.
Drink of
Choice:
Tequila, straight up – no salt, no lime but I tend to
drink wine when I’m with the ladies.
Favorite
Food:
I was born and raised in Boston so I still crave a
steaming bowl of clam chowder and if I’m anywhere near fresh-cooked fish &
chips, I’m in heaven.
Favorite
Song:
I know this is going to surprise people but I like
jazz. Put on a Miles Davis or John Coltrane album and let me soar. Although I
can also get lost listening to Billie Holiday or Sarah Vaughn.
Your
Favorite Past time:
The sea has always fascinated my so I like long walks
along the beach. Never got into sailing – it just wasn’t something a poor boy
from Southie ever dreamed of doing – but walking along the shore or fishing off
the pier – that I could do.
Your first
impression of Julia:
I think what I said when I first met Julia sums it up
best:
“Lady, if I
were wearing socks, you would have just knocked them right off." He ended with a formal bow, bringing her hand
to his lips for a soft, brushing kiss.
On impulse, he reached for one of the soft, auburn strands that caught
the fire of the sun as she moved from the shade of the trees. “Spun gold,” he
murmured softly.

Synopsis
You chug along life’s highway,
minding your own business, and all of a sudden - wham - something smacks you
upside the head. For smart and sassy
widow, Julia Marlowe, it was something as simple as a flat tire that landed her
squarely in the path of swashbuckling film star, Jason MacKenzie, who slams
into her life with the force of an 18-wheeler.
She doesn’t want to like the
guy. The lifestyle he represents stands
contrary to everything she believes in.
He has that Hollywood ‘love-them-and-leave-them’ attitude written all
over him – but despite her best intentions, he has a way of getting under her
skin. Besides, her kids like him and so
far he hasn’t flinched at tarantulas, errant goats, space aliens and the chaos
an active household creates.
Then again, there is the
little matter of his ex-wife, Barbara, who clings to Jason like plastic wrap on
steroids. Further complicating the
situation is the 200 mile distance between the places they call home. She has no desire to live in his world but
can he possibly live the country life after the bright lights of the big
city? Can she trust a man who only has
to smile to make millions of women’s hearts go pitter-pat to give her the
happily ever after ending she seeks?
Sit back and enjoy the
fireworks in this smart, contemporary romance as Jason and Julia laugh, argue
and circle each other as they try to figure out if this unlikely couple can
make a go of it.
