Publisher's summary

"A man is going to treat you how you treat yourself. So please, for the love of God, act like a queen."

I was expecting a ring on my thirtieth birthday. What I didn't see coming was my boyfriend and business partner dumping me because he couldn't bear the idea of our bland sex life for the rest of our lives.

When an opportunity arises to spend my summer in Las Vegas, I stumble upon my hot new neighbor and his photography studio. We strike a simple deal.

He's the teacher, and I'm his student. My lesson is learning to love the body I have. In exchange, I'm going to save his business. I have exactly one summer to unearth the most confident version of myself before I go home and return to reality.

But after a passion-fueled summer, I'm not sure of who I am anymore, and it's clear that the worst heartbreak of my life might still be yet to come.

Camera Shy is a spicy contemporary, bedroom lessons, neighbors-to-lovers standalone romance that ends in a happily ever after. Intended for mature listeners.

Beautiful story with an outstanding narration!!

Kay Cove has come highly recommended so I hit play on this and went into it blind...WOW, I absolutely loved everything about this storyline and audio narration!!! It’s just an incredibly beautiful story that is so relatable as it deals with body insecurities, confidence and truly loving yourself. At the same time it is also so swoony and sexy with all the fantastic spicy lessons! On top of all that, you also have a top tier man, Finn who is genuine, supportive, and the biggest hype man for women!

The way I just loved Finn and Avery in this story!!! They are both overcoming toxic relationships and while Finn is helping her know her worth, they grow together and find the love that they both truly deserve in each other. Just an outstanding storyline that was so much more than I expected but I am now hooked on Kay Cove!!!

🎧AUDIO REVIEW:
What an incredible performance by Lee Samuels & Heather Firth in this audiobook!!! I already loved both of their voices individually but as a duo their voices blended together so incredibly well they completely fit the description of their characters! It made it so easy to fly through the audio as they just embodied Finn & Avery with their delivery of the story!! I did not want to hit pause!

First you have Lee Samuels who has a deep, sexy, and seductive tone which completely matched Finn’s character. He has this caring yet commanding edge to his voice, which played so well into the narrative so well as Finn is teaching spicy lessons in this story. Then there is Heather Firth, whose voice I just adore!! She put so much emotion, feeling and passion into performance which just made Avery feel so realistic. Just superb acting skills as she did everything from pretending to cry to chuckling at certain moments.

Overall, this audiobook is just an amazing casting as Lee & Heather completely hit out of the park delivering Kay’s incredibly story!

Wanted more....

Got frustrated with Avery being so.....hard on herself and refusing to believe her amazing man. Finn was a KING! Palmer was a fucking bitch and I literally couldn't stand her and Avery keeping her in her life. Overall a frustrating read/listen that could've been so much better!

Good story line

I liked it. It had a good amount of spice to it. It did drag on a bit. But all in all it was good.

Perfection in Audio

I loved this book but the audio is another level good. I’ll listen to this over and over again!

Good characters, slow story.

I enjoyed the characters and concept of the story. The MMC was the most enjoyable part, specifically because he had depth and complexity to him.

The book hyper focuses on the FMCs body image issues. At 16.5 hours long, that device gets really, old really fast. It makes the FMC less enjoyable and more annoying. As someone who’s struggled with their weight, I can understand why the author might want to write a story with a plus size FMC. This was a swing and a miss for me. The hyper-fixation on weight/size and the FMCs poor self worth for 16 hours of the story was really aggravating.

The culmination of the story’s plot was also not super satisfying. It seemed like the author may have been trying to make it a victory scene, but I honestly kind of wanted more time in the story dedicated to the downfall of the FMC ex boyfriend.

All that said, the steamy scenes were decent. I’m not sure that’s enough to make me re-listen to this book.

fantastic book

I love the gradual incline of the story. at one point u actually jaw dropped and rewond 30 seconds to make sure I heard what I thought I heard! I loved it♡ 10 out of 10♡

Loved it.

loved the story and how mc's didn't magically over come their hang ups.the twist was a great change of pace since the foreshadowing was not super obvious. the narrators did great bringing the overall experience a captivating one.

Wonderfully empowering and sexy

This is one of the best books I've read. I would highly recommend for any woman needing to learn how to love themselves!

Loved this

I devoured this book, I personally loved the entire storyline and the character development. I hope you write more Kay!

Loved it!!

Great spice! Loved the mmc, fmc was almost annoying in her insecurities but that’s the point.
