The Plot (from Goodreads):
Hollywood darling Emmy Harper is considered the queen of writing romantic comedies. That is, until tragedy struck and she swore she’d never write another happy ending again. After some time away, and lots of encouragement from family and friends, Emmy is finally ready to dive back into the genre with her latest project. But more is riding on this movie than just her return to the big screen. This time, Emmy’s also been convinced to star as the lead, dusting off acting skills she hasn’t used in over a decade.
Emmy’s nervous, yet excited, to give performing another shot, until a last-minute injury benches her trusted co-star. With filming about to start, there’s only one other actor available on such short Grayson West. A blockbuster action star known for his mega-watt smile and impossible abs, Grayson is anyone’s dream of a romantic lead. Anyone except Emmy that is, who still blames him for her disastrous first movie and the early end to her acting career.
As filming begins, the friction between Emmy and Grayson is palpable and it’s anyone’s guess if it’s unresolved awkwardness or simmering sexual tension. The two are pushed to get their acts together—and quickly—or they risk tanking the entire movie, but if working things out leads to sizzling chemistry on screen, what might happen when the cameras stop rolling?
My Review:
Right on Cue by Falon Ballard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thank you to Putnam for this gifted copy and to PRH Audio for the ALC!
I quickly fell in love with Falon Ballard after her first two romances, so I couldn’t wait to read Right On Cue. This time we’re on the set of a Hollywood movie, with a reluctant actress who can’t help but fall for the man she blames for the previous downfall of her career.
This one has so much angst, and the forced proximity pushes it to even more of a head. Readers aren’t kept waiting for the steam, either.
Overall I didn’t love this one quite as much as Ballard’s first two, but I’m still a big fan of her writing and am looking forward to what she gives us next!
