Publisher's summary

Whitney Ainsworth has had a very tough year. First up was the very public divorce from an A-list actress, and then, the third book in her popular suspense series bombed. She’s got a chronic case of writer’s block and feels like a fraud getting paid to give speeches about achieving success. After a particularly disastrous event, Whitney’s manager suggests a romantic distraction might be in order.

Gabriela Talbot never expected to hear back when she requested an interview with her favorite author - certainly not after the scathing review she’d given Whitney’s latest book. She’s thrilled when the opportunity arises.

What happens next isn’t what either expected, and although passions flare, Whitney is furious when she learns she’s slept with the enemy. Their already rocky road to friendship - or something more - is complicated by a pair of Hollywood handlers who don’t particularly care what’s best for either of them. Will they find their way to love, or will insecurities and outsiders prove too much to overcome?

Deliciously smart and sexy.

The headline says it all. This book has *everything* going for it. Blonde and brunette love interest, an age difference, both women’s perspectives, witty laugh out loud dialogue, and a story to boot. There were multiple instances where I though the story was going one direction and it didn’t or thought it wouldn’t, but it did - in the best ways possible. Love the little moments that capture the budding romance and reconcile a past one. The narration is absolutely perfect and at no time did I question what the performance was going for. Elle Spencer and Melissa Sternenberg were splendid, absolutely splendid. Adding this one to the favorites and will absolutely listen again.

Loved it!

I’m usually not a romance type of person but this one kept me laughing and tugged at my heart strings. Highly recommend!

Sorry but this is boring

Flat MC slow story with no action. Even Melissa Sternberg that I usually like very much as a narrator, was bored this time, and I got this book because of her.
If you see this review DON”T BUY THIS BOOK…

😊 Elle Spencer does it again!

Elle Spencer is one of the lesfic authors I will read/listen to no matter what their new release is... this book was so great though! I enjoyed all of it. The dialogue and banter were perfection and I definitely laughed out loud. I loved all the characters! At first I was hoping for a different narrator (Abby Craden or Lori Prince or Brittni Pope) because Melissa Sternenberg sometimes hurts my ears with high pitched voices and that's definitely not sexy... but she didn't sound like a mouse in this book. Excellent work from author and narrator.

Aunti Wiz

A story to die for in laughter and a little bit of falling in love. A great story to have a few " easter eggs" to carry on. A perfect narrating by M. Sternenberg. A hope to begin and a screen writ to fall in an ex wife to say yes let's be friends with my lover script. A story to keep entertained and intralled.

Wasted potential

The narration is horrible and it kills any chance this book had after a slow start.

Not up to par

Was looking forward to this book as I have enjoyed other novels by author but this one came up lacking. One issue is the narrator’s one note performance and shrill voice which did little to enhance the plot.

listened to better ones

Th story line is a bit boring... Elle has much better ones. it does make you keep listening until the end. the narrator is ok

Great story!

This was a wonderful story with depth and a lot of humor although I wanted to kick Whitney’s ass for being such an insensitive boob there at the tail end of the story. It was necessary for the lesson learned but still! The character of Liz with her handbag addiction was hysterical.

The narration of the story was wonderful!

fun

I really enjoyed the pace of the story and the witty banter. Narrator was excellent
