Publisher's summary

"Guarantees characters that glow with equal parts wit, sass, and sensuality." Library Journal (Starred Review)

The first in a fun, flirty series from Mia Sosa!

After a very public breakup with a media-hungry politician, fitness trainer Tori Alvarez escapes to Aruba for rest, relaxation, and copious amounts of sex on the beach—the cocktail, that is. She vows to keep her vacation a man-free zone but when a cute guy is seated next to her on the plane, Tori can’t resist a little harmless flirting.

Hollywood heartthrob Carter Stone underwent a dramatic physical transformation for his latest role and it’s clear his stunning seat mate doesn’t recognize the man beneath the shaggy beard and extra lean frame. Now Carter needs help rebuilding his buff physique and Tori is perfect for the job. It doesn’t hurt that she makes his pulse pound in more ways than one.

Sparks are flying, until a pesky paparazzo reveals Carter’s identity. Tori is hurt and pissed. She wants nothing to do with another man in the limelight, but she’s still got to whip him into shape. Can Carter convince Tori he’s worth the threat to her privacy that comes with dating a famous actor, or will Tori chisel him down to nothing before he even gets the chance?

Grab the popcorn…

Critic reviews

"Combine Sosa's gift for creating easily relatable characters and her engaging, witty prose with some off-the-charts sensual love scenes and you have a knockout start to the author's new Love on Cue series." (Booklist)

"The first installment in the Love on Cue series is charming, witty, and consistently funny.... [A] sharp romance that begs to be savored." (Kirkus Reviews)

"A fresh, sexy, laugh out loud funny rom com with characters you can't help but root for and a love story that will leave you smiling well after the book is finished." (Alyssa Cole, award-winning author)

Loved It!

Since I was born and raised in Philadelphia, I'm probably a little on the biased side, but I'll deal with it. I haven't lived in Philadelphia for many decades, but some of the descriptions took me back. I love the characters and the performances were top-notch. It was a fun "read" and with a suitable happy ending. I liked the snippets of reviews in between chapters.

Good job, and worth a second listen!

I love love stories.

I appreciated the simplicity of complex emotions that evolved through the storyline. Those instant moments revealing opportunities for growth and willingness for vulnerability. Well done!

A Perfect Insta-Love Rom-com

Carter, Hollywood”s popular heartthrob is not quite himself. The method actor dedicated to his craft is no longer a muscular hunk, but incognito as an emaciated version of Grizzly Adams. On his flight to Aruba, Carter eyes Tori, the alluring and buff personal trainer and immediate object of his affection.

I love Tori, but Carter, who I found endearing, entertaining, sweet, and absolutely hysterical, is the star in my eyes. The poor man is struck by insta-lust and convinced Tori is the one. His initial standards for life-long matrimony is shallow and far from being high, yet Tori, a sweet, smart, & hard working goddess is a good choice. What I truly love about her is the fact that she’s drawn to a scrawny and bearded lightweight drinker because he’s funny and evokes a *depth* through his eyes. Does she act like a groupie when she discovers Carter’s fame? This is the conflict and the fun. I loved this romp. Mia Sosa never fails. A definite re-read for me.

Fun Characters

It’s so easy to fall in love with Mia Sosa’s characters. The narrators did a great job in bringing the text to life, and I finished this book in less than 36 hours. Once I started I wanted to know where the character would go next. After reading The Worst Best Man, I’ve become a loyal fan of Sosa and this Rom-Com genre.

I loved the narrators

Good pace. Cute story with lovable characters. Loved the spice! Had a HEA.

I was hoping carter would have revealed to tori how he felt about her the moment he saw her.

Another Hit by Mia Sosa!

I enjoyed this book very much, each chapter kept me wanting more and more , performed well

Cute story

The male narrator sounds like a newscaster , but the story overall was cute and short . Great book to listen to while cleaning or doing other tasks

Sassy latina
