Kyle Harrison Movie Star

In the glittering chaos of Hollywood, where egos often outshine talent, a new hero emerges who’s as refreshing as a cool breeze on a Tinseltown summer day. Kyle Harrison Movie Star, the debut novel in Robertson Tait’s irresistible romcom series, introduces readers to Kyle Harrison—a tall, handsome, and thoroughly un-Hollywood Scottish newcomer who stumbles into stardom with a heart as big as his charisma. With its sparkling wit, heartfelt romance, and light-hearted narrative, this book is the perfect escape for anyone craving a feel-good read without the usual Hollywood cynicism.

Written by former British swimming champion Gordon Black, now penning under the name Robertson Tait, Kyle Harrison Movie Star draws on the author’s own experiences as a British Actors’ Equity member to craft a story that’s both a love letter to La La Land and a playful jab at its absurdities.
Discovered by chance in a Roman café on the Via Veneto, Kyle is plucked from obscurity and thrust into the spotlight before he’s even learned his lines. His photo splashes across tabloids the day after he lands in Hollywood, hailed as a movie star without a single screen test. A top director sees him as the next action hero, but Kyle, with his trademark slouch and boyish charm, is delightfully clueless about the industry’s ruthless star-making machinery.
What sets Kyle apart from the typical Hollywood protagonist is his lack of ego and abundance of heart. He’s perfect—handsome, clever, witty, kind—but never insufferable. Tait masterfully crafts a character who could easily feel like an over-the-top wish-fulfillment fantasy, surrounded by gorgeous women, luxury cars, glamorous hotels, and kickass fight scenes. Yet Kyle’s genuine kindness and attention to the “little people” around him—remembering names, smoothing paths, and noticing others’ dreams—make him impossible to dislike.”
The novel’s plot is a well-crafted blend of humor, romance, and Hollywood hijinks, with vivid scenes that pull readers right into the action. Tait’s dry wit and keen eye for detail create a narrative that’s both compelling and comforting, turning potentially anxiety-inducing situations into a story that keeps you smiling from start to finish. It’s the kind of book that feels like a cinematic blend of Notting Hill and a classic underdog tale, wrapped in a glossy, feel-good package.
For those already smitten with Kyle, there’s more to celebrate: Kyle Harrison Movie Star is the first in a trilogy, with Scot Free in Hollywood and Just Cause It’s Kyle already available, ensuring this golden boy’s adventures continue to charm. Whether you’re packing for a summer holiday or just craving a light-hearted escape, Kyle Harrison is the ideal travel companion. He’s tall, he’s handsome, and he doesn’t fit any mold—making him the perfect hero for a romcom romp that’s as irresistible as he is.
Pick up Kyle Harrison Movie Star for a witty, romantic dive into Hollywood’s glitzy madness. It’s a decision you’ll be glad you made.
