In broad strokes:
- I get why people would like this but it wasn't for me
- Every romance trope including the kitchen sink was thrown into this book and not in a fun way
- Sterling wasn't great as his very real mood swings weren't fun to read about especially when he lashed out at people
- Reese felt a little hypocritical in a bunch of places
- Also where I really gave up was when Reese doesn't answer Sterling's calls at the climax of the book, doesn't reach out to him either, just sits in her house and broods about missing him - okay!
- Kind of boring, felt longer than it needed to be
And that's it, that's why this is two stars for me. Obviously a fan of St Clair but yes not all her books work for me.

Enjoyed this new novel from St. Clair! Reese makes a fool of herself in front of her favorite celebrity, and ends up as his new social media strategist, traveling on his tour bus, the next day. She's a super sweet character to read about and it's fun to watch her fall in love.
I received an advance reader copy of this novel from the author--all opinions are my own.

This is the first book I have read by Emma St. Clair with faith elements. She beautifully crafted a story with faith, stellar characters, real-world problems, and romance. This is a must-read, and I highly recommend it.

I've mostly read this author's more recent books and this is absolutely a different feel from them. There's a definite Christian faith element (prayers, thoughts about decisions based on Bible teaching, etc) that's pretty inescapable in the plot trajectory. It wasn't a bad read, but probably not one I would reread. The Love Cliches and Sheet Cake series are fantastic, though <3

I really enjoyed this story. I especially loves the characters. At one point, I had to put down the book for awhile because the characters' unwise decisions were stressing me out. But everything worked out better than I expected.

Finally finished this book. Seemed like it took forever. It’s sort of an enemy to lover story. He doesn’t like her right away but slowly feelings get involved. It’s also a workplace relationship. If you enjoy a good clean sweet romance this is one you should read.

It got Christian real fast
I Enjoyed the first half of the book but then it became all about god. Don't get me wrong I love a good wholesome story but this and out of left field and didn't jive with the story to me.

This book wasn’t what I expected. I be read the authors series “Love Cliche” which I loved and I was hoping for something different. If you do not like books that mention faith, prayer and God this might not be the one for you. I don’t have a problem with them as long as they don’t feel preachy. This came close but didn’t pass that line.
Sterling and Reese were good characters. Reese fangirling like she did left a bad taste in my mouth. It was a little much to plan your wedding to a celebrity (even if you were 14) and then announce it to them. It made me worry about the book and the characters. Happily the author handled it well and I ended up liking Reese. She turned out to be strong and put her love for Sterling above her own job and reputation. It showed the kind of woman she was.
Sterling had a rough relationship with his family that really affected the story line and characters. I appreciated the seriousness of addiction and how it affects those around them. The scene with the intervention was probably my favorite one because of how Sterling handled it and the emotion behind it.
As much as I ended up enjoying the book I don’t know if I will be continuing the series.

This book was good. I was afraid it would be cheesy or too heavy on Christianese, and I’ve been really avoiding a lot of faith based books, but this was lovely and perfect. I could identify a lot with Sterling and his wrestling with faith, and with Reese and her prayer life picking up in the midst of her turmoil. That being said, the author is not heavy handed with the religious aspect. The writing was done well, and there is not anything I could think of that could be done to improve the story.
