What’s a romance writer to do when her celebrity crush signs on to play the hero in her book’s movie adaptation? Obviously, fake date him for the sake of PR (and, you know, maybe for other reasons too). Emmy is determined to boost her career, and Jason, Hollywood’s resident bad boy, could use a little reputation rehab. But when the cameras stop rolling, their chemistry doesn’t.

This audiobook was an absolute rom-com dream! Forbidden romance ? Check. Single parents? Check. Banter so good I was cackling? Check. And let’s talk about the pop culture references, including some niche sci-fi goodness, perfection!  The descriptive language was also bang on and fitted the vibe. When Jason’s vampire smile was mentioned, you know which Salvatore brother I pictured. (And if you don’t, we can’t be friends.)

The narration? Flawless. Dual POV audiobooks are always superior, and this one was cast perfectly. The performances made the chemistry sizzle, the humour land, and the emotional moments hit just right. No awkward pickups, no weird pacing, just pure audiobook magic. My only gripe? The overuse of “hashtag” (some things should’ve stayed in 2012).
