Publisher's summary

Fans of Abby Jimenez and Meryl Wilsner will fall in love with this hilarious and refreshingly authentic novel about second chances, pugs, and finding the perfect muse . . .

Business consultant Rose Josten might not have officially reached “pug lady” middle age, but she’s already got the pugs—along with their little Gucci coats and trash-lovin’ appetites. Still, life is good, with her work, her sisters, and a secret hobby creating incredibly tactile (if surprisingly sexy) mindfulness videos. So why does it feel like it’s not quite enough? Which is exactly when former filmmaker Ash Stewart enters camera left, and Rose’s world suddenly goes full technicolor . . .

Ash never looks at anyone. Not since her ex ripped her heart from her chest in Spielberg-esque style, crushing Ash’s reputation, dreams, and directorial career in one brutal blow. But Rose is altogether different. She’s curvy, beautiful, and just so damn put together. And her business expertise might be Ash’s best bet for getting her last film—and her last chance—financed. Now if they can just keep their attraction under wraps, Ash’s lost dream could finally come true. But are they creating movie magic . . . or setting the stage for disaster?

Dear Listener,

What is my favorite part of writing a romance novel?
"I love writing romance because every word brings my characters closer to the happy ending they deserve. I loved doing this for Rose and Ash in Behind the Scenes because they are both such GOOD people. You’re rooting for them from the moment they meet-cute outside Ash’s studio. They’re kind, funny, creative, and hardworking, as well as strong, vulnerable, and tender to each other even when they’re hurt or angry. I wish I could be like a fairy godmother to all the good people in the world, wave my wand and give everyone a real-life happily-ever-after. If only it were that easy. But at least I can write those happy endings for my characters and bring joy to my readers. I hope Rose and Ash's love story (and Rose's adorable pugs) put a smile on your face." - Karelia Stetz-Waters, writer of Behind the Scenes

Couldn't love it more..unless there's a sequel!

In one word, brilliant. The story was wonderful with just the right amount of low key angst. As for the narration, Lori was extraordinary.
Perfect voices for the characters and pure silk for the ASMR element. Can't love this enough. it was nice to have the visit with the Satisfaction Guaranteed characters too.

A Remarkable Love Story

The author has created two strong female characters in Rose and Ash, an unflappable business consultant and an extremely talented but hurting film director. The Story of Ash’s catastrophic accident and resulting inability to work and residual sexual dysfunction is sensitively and grippingly handled. Rose’s private life as an ASMR Artist is fully erotically realized with Lori Prince’s talented narration. The dialogue is delicious and the plot suspenseful. Rose’s three nutty sisters and Ash’s sidekick, Emma, add To the enjoyment. Each chapter ends with a punch and you wish i the were just a little longer so you could savor them more.

Throughly Enjoyable

I truly enjoyed this romantic comedy and will be listening to it again and again . It’s very low angst and the conflicts were resolved quickly with communication, How refreshing! As always, Lori Prince did a phenomenal job narrating.

Fantastic Listen!

I thought this book was very well done. I love the contrast in character and their willingness to go after what they want. I'm also happy that in times of conflict, they actually let each other speak instead of running away and sulking. Overall, you won't be disappointed.
