I loved this book! Loved the dialogue between the two main characters Jay and Kate and liked the minor characters Fred, Peter and Barbara. I'm an animal person and I like how the characters related to Fred. I wish I had a love like Jay and Kate's, they were so romantic! I like that they had a past together and they believe in true love and finding that special someone. I read this book in 1 day. I just ordered the sequel 'Cost of Commitment' yesterday and when I realized it was a three part series, I ordered 'the Value of Valor' today!

Lynn Ames writes in her acknowledgements, "I have always maintained that the best fiction contains elements of truth; as a reader, it's that believability that keeps you turning the pages." The author, a Golden Crown Literary Society Finalist for The Price of Fame, has exceeded her goals in the very first installment of the action-packed romance of news anchor Katherine "Kate" Kyle and Time magazine reporter Jamison "Jay" Parker. The Price of Fame is not only convincing but it is hard to put down.
The highly acclaimed anchorwoman for the New York State Capitol based news station WCAP-TV is the vivacious, self-assured, drop-dead gorgeous Katherine Kyle. Not only is she brilliant, but her strong work ethic, professionalism, honesty, compassion, and commitment to the greater good including humanity towards fellow humans, has set her way above her peers. She has earned the respect of her coworkers and the love and admiration of her viewers as well. Add the fact that this woman has no idea how attractive she is, how deliciously romantic she can be to the woman who captures her heart, and you have an admirable character you would love to know personally - if not intimately.
Jay Parker is an extremely talented aspiring writer for Time Magazine who lives in New York City. Avoiding any thoughts about her painful past, the career-oriented author submerges herself in her work producing astounding human-interest stories. Sent to Albany to write a piece on the popular governor with possible presidential candidate written all over him, Jay spots the woman who has "dominated her dreams and fueled her imagination" [p. 12] on television. Having met Kate on more than one occasion, Jay is awestruck when she catches the local Albany news flash depicting the bravery of the newscaster, the one person she always thought of as her savoir and the other part of her soul. Fate brings these two women together again thereby ensuing a strong attraction and a powerful love affair.
Kate is romantic - she makes Jay do more than just blush. Is there any woman on the planet who wouldn't like to hear her lover say, "That's okay, love, because if Michelangelo had had you to use as a model, he could've retired a wealthy man" [p. 142]? Katherine Kyle and Jamison Parker is a match made in heaven in every way.
Lynn Ames is proficient at weaving current affairs with flashbacks in this compelling love story where the action never ceases. The author is an award-wining former broadcast journalist, which adds insider information thereby lending itself even further to authenticity and a depth that captures every nuance of the business. Include politics, intrigue, bombings, homophobia, trust issues, etc., and you have a novel that will leave you breathless and hungering for more. Every scene is absorbing and full of energy in the exciting world of Kate and Jay. Falling in love along with the characters is easy when they would go to any lengths, even self-sacrifice, for each other. Can the love between them withstand the forces that endeavor to drive them apart?
The clever hook near the end of The Price of Fame has this reader happy the sequels The Cost of Commitment and The Value of Valour are readily available. Once you pick up a novel by Lynn Ames, you will want to read them all. The Price of Fame is a five-star novel that you will want to read from beginning to end, as you won't want to miss a single word.

Katherine Kyle (Xena character) is a small town news celebrity who hits the big time after skillfully covering a terrorist attack at the New York Governor's mansion. While on the air, she is spotted by Jamison Parker(Gabby), a journalist with whom Kate had several pleutonic encounters while in college.
Jamison is sent on assignment by her magazine to do a cover story on a "new breed of journalist," using Kathryn as her muse. While doing so, the two women share a home and their lives for one eye opening week.
Jamison comes from a sexually abusive home and has low self esteem, especially where relationships are concerned. Kathryn has never loved anyone before. Both felt they were missing something undefinable until they were reunited. After discovering their mutual attraction, the tabloids aren't too far behind. Kate is fired from her job and leaves town before anyone can figure out the identify of the mysterious blonde woman in the picture with her. Jamison can't reconcile the woman she knows with the woman who left her, and they both discover the price of fame.
This was a good book with a lot of substance. There were several components that never seemed closed (i.e., who caused the explosion, why, what happened with that story?). It's promising that there are two sequels to this book, so hopefully they address some of the loose ends.
At the end of the day, this book is a winner.

I loved the writing and was delighted to read a romance with such strong women. They are wonderfully unique personalities with interesting careers and hobbies.
The author used terrific locales to enhance the novel. I have read this book many times.
Don't miss the sequel 'The Cost of Commitment' and 'The Value of Valor'

I went crazy with the credit card before my recent vacation and bought this book, along with a bunch of others. It wasn't the best buck I've spent. I posted reviews for most of the books I just bought - a couple were really great, and most were not bad. The Price of Fame left a lot to be desired, and reading the other reviews on this page I am wondering if we all read the same book! Kate and Jay were way obvious versions of Xena and Gabrielle and even if you like fanfic, the superficial cutout characters are getting old. The author only seemed to get with the program in the second half of the book and then it became faster moving and quite entertaining, which shows that one day Ms. Ames might get it all together and write a really good romance. This wasn't it. The writing was below average and too cliched and the way the plot and characters were developed in the very first half bored the pants off me. In my humble opinion, The Price of Fame was undercooked and overpriced for what it delivered.
