Story4.5 out of 5 stars 121
Hayley Carpenter has always dreamed of being a famous screenwriter, but dreams don’t pay bills and LA living isn’t cheap. So when a temp position at a celebrity gossip magazine becomes available, she goes after it. Emerson Sterling has been acting since she was little, but a rough patch as a teenager has given her a bad rap in Hollywood. Just when she thinks her dream role can turn around the public’s image of her, a conflict with her co-star and America’s Sweetheart, Rachel Blanche, puts her on the front cover of every magazine, the villain once again.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 191
Susanne Wolff isn't thrilled when her mother sends her all the way across the country to Freiburg to save her uncle's stationery store from bankruptcy. Freiburg is too provincial for her taste, and besides, pen and paper are outdated anyway. Anja Lamm, Paper Love's only full-time employee, takes an instant dislike to the arrogant, digital-loving snob who's supposed to be her temporary boss. But thanks to a meddling cat, a business trip to a stationery fair, and an armada of origami boats, Anja soon starts to see beneath Susanne's aloof exterior.

Personal trainer Rebecca McCall is furious when her coworker is sidelined and she's forced to teach the “Be Your Best Bride” class. As if being a size two for your wedding photos is all for which exercise is good. Could the whole thing get more vain and sexist? The class is full of preening, giggling bridezillas, but one woman stands out: the one who confesses she's only there because her fiancée signed her up. Who does that to someone about whom they care? And why can't Rebecca take her eyes off her?

Accountant and financial advisor Lacey Chamberlain doesn't consider herself a control freak. She's merely a planner-orderly, neat, and content in her tidy little life. When a marketing firm moves into the empty office next door, the loud-music-playing, stinky-food-ordering, kickball-in-the-hall staff make Lacey crazy. Marketing expert Alicia Wright is spontaneous, flies by the seat of her pants, and lives in the moment-all the things Lacey is not. She's also gorgeous, thoughtful, and seems determined to make Lacey like her. They say opposites attract, but for how long? And is that really a good idea?

A prominent figure amongst New York City's fashion elite, Elena Vega is a successful businesswoman and single mother to an adorable three-year-old son, Lucas. Her love life, however, is lacking, as those closest to her keep pointing out. At the persistent urging of her closest friend, Elena reluctantly agrees to a string of blind dates if she can find a suitable babysitter for Lucas. Enter Allison Sawyer, a free-spirited senior at New York University. Elena is intrigued by Allison's ability to push her out of her element, and the young woman's instant and easy connection with a normally shy Lucas quickly earns Allison the job. After each blind date, Elena returns home to complain to Allison about her lacking suitors. As they bond, Elena begins to realize that the person possessing all the qualities she most desires might just be the woman who has been in front of her the entire time.

Good, but not my fav Brayden book
Isabel and Taylor were good characters and very likeable. the narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life . the thing that bothered me with this book was how long the ex-girlfriend caused drama for everybody.. I am looking forward to the follow up books from the series.

Too predictable.
After listening to Kiss the Girl by this Author and enjoying it I thought I would give this one a try. I was disappointed that it was practically the same story, just the names and places changed. The writing seemed to be more elementary. Narration was fine.

Struggled to finish
There were two main things with this story that made it hard for me to connect with it and enjoy:
Lack of diversity. The story takes place in LA and yet POC seem to be non existent but every type of thin white woman you can think of exists in this story. Also, can someone point me in the direction of an apartment complex made up almost exclusively of queer women? Thanks.
Laissez-faire treatment of mental illness. The main character has a major anxiety disorder to the point of having crippling anxiety attacks and the possibility of therapy isn't mentioned until the 11th hour of the story. It felt as if she turned the story into her editor and they told her she needed to mention it so she tacked it onto the end.
There were other things (Isabel isn't as funny as she thinks she is/she's kinda a Mary Sue) I didn't mesh with either.
Not for me.

Could have been more
I have rated this four, but in reality, the story didn't grip me the way other Melissa Brayden stories did. Although, the narration from Melissa Sternenberg was very good. I think the reason I struggled with this one was because it was based on Hollywood, from the angle of writers and successful producers. The conflict, in the form of a jaded ex-lover also felt a bit one sided and it felt shallow of Tyler Andrews not to just confront her nemesis. There are reasons why she doesn't, but they didn't paint Tyler in a good light, ethically. Maybe I'm struggling to say why I didn't like this story so much, but I guess it was - the setting, I'm not a big Hollywood fan. But also, the unit of friends around Isabel Chase which are normally charming in Brayden novels, for whatever reason, seemed a bit forced, in that they became passionate friends too instantly and without this being earned. In addition, Chase suffers from anxiety, and I see this portrayed well, but as someone who suffers from GAD, Chase's anxiety was a bit too convenient and not as crippling as it is in reality; Chase didn't come across as the broken heroine who needed help, but rather someone with a minor problem which caused issues from time to time, meaning I didn't feel sympathy for her - she seemed to have everything she needed and was getting everything she wanted.
I realise this is a new set of characters Melissa is developing for future novels (and audiobooks). I hope I can somehow engage with this new Californian crew.

First encounter
This is my first encounter with Melissa Brayden and I enjoyed it. It was a light read and very well suited to audio. I will be buying the other books in this series.

Not Melissa's best
I was a little disappointed with this book after being so excited when it released on Audible. The Soho Loft series was excellent and I expected more of the same. I found the romance a little rushed which made it hard to believe and connect with. Because of this the romantic scenes felt too mushy and dare I say it a bit too Mills & Boon for me. Sorry Melissa.
Narration was good, despite me hoping desperately for narration by Felicity Munroe, who manages to make you get lost in a book.
I'll buy the next in the series in the hope that her previous style of writing, which has kept me gripped and made me listen to her books again and again, returns.

Enjoyable
I really enjoyed this one, it was fun to listen to and had just enough drama without going over the top The characters were very likeable and the friends also had just enough to them to spark my interest in their stories as well. The narrator was great too.
