Love, Camera, Action

By: Noel Stark

Narrated by: Maxine Mitchell

A scrappy TV director lands her big break only to go head-to-head with the surly yet sexy director of photography, in this contemporary romance perfect fans of Ava Wilder and Tessa Bailey.

Up-and-coming TV director Cali Daniels knows sex. Well, okay, she knows how to shoot sex scenes, and she’s been hired to direct a highly anticipated steamy episode of the popular series The Demon. This job is her chance at a big-time career in the film and television industry—all she has to do is deliver an unparalleled show using her hard-knocks know-how and ample creativity.

If only the director of photography—effortlessly sexy Jory Blair—would stop shutting her ideas down at every turn. Jory has spent years cultivating his career as an A-list director of photography, but a recent health scare has him rethinking his life and craving the director spot. Now this creative newbie, who he can’t get out of his mind, wants to change the look of his show. Even worse, the friction between them is sparking into blistering chemistry.

As collaborating takes on a whole new meaning, and the show’s producer not-so-subtly suggests that Jory sabotage Cali in order to achieve his own goals, they’ll have to decide if chasing their dream jobs is worth losing the dream of a future together.

Fans of How to Fake It in Hollywood and Plot Twist will devour this steamy, enemies to lovers, workplace, debut romance.

What a ride!

I loved this book! On surface level, it was a really fun view into the Film/tv Iindustry with a great romance, but at a deeper level, the author’s ability to bring to life the intricate workings of the female mind and how we think and overcome insecurities, and still step out as strong, independent women is incredible!

Incredible story and performance

Noël has a beautiful gem. It is romcom with a lot of heart. I’d be laughing one minute and tearing up the next. Maxine Mitchell‘s performance showcase all her talent in playing multiple characters, as well as showing she can play the comedy as well as emotional tearjerkers.
