It is always good to see perspectives of a Hollywood romance come to life through a book

The chemistry between the two leads were absolutely amazing. I loved hearing both leads perspectives, it was truly a sexy and beautiful story.

Ehh. Just ok

I’m kinda disappointed with this story. I was frustrated with quellcrist. He just let his ex and his fear drive him through this whole book. The romance wasn’t as hot but they were dealing with fear. It just didn’t do it for me in MHO. The narration sucked. Why bring in John solo? He’s horrible and Joel Leslie could’ve carried this book alone as he always did. So yeah it was a disappointment for me. I guess I’m discouraged as nobody is coming up with new original story’s. They’re all the same repetitive storylines. It’s either an actor,a body guard,a nanny,a fake boyfriend for a wedding , a billionaire , shape shifters, vampires ......etc. I guess I’m going through a real book funk waiting for someone with something incredible and new. Maybe historical m/m???

Unscripted

Both narrators did an amazing job bringing
this book to life.
I’ve never read anything from this author and never read a book like this. I usually don’t like slow burn I usually get bored and frustrated. I did not want to put this book down! I was interested from page one. I loved the two characters, they become friends first, it did take a while for them to get together. Right when I was starting to get restless they finally admitted wanting each other. This book was amazing keeps you interested the entire way, I do wish it was longer since the first 74% of the book is built up to then coming together. I feel there wasn’t enough of them as a couple. But there is a second book out and I can’t wait to see where there story takes them.

Loved it!!!

Loved it!
The story,the narration-everything
Can’t wait for the next book in this series!

when change comes

how do you prepare when your force to change. it's crazy but some changes is needs to better yourself.

A wonderful tale of two actors who fall in love.

I used to be a theatre kid, so I really enjoyed being immersed in the world of acting and cinema.

I was pulling for these characters….

…but honestly, this was one of my least favorite options from this author—who I usually love. The story had every trope in the book right down to the single bed in the only room left in a fully booked hotel. The writing just was not up to her usual standard. Sorry. I just wanted it to be over. Great narration though.

Frustrating

It wasn’t a cute or happy love story. It seemed more sad and pathetic. Hale getting involved with someone who he believed to be in a solid marriage was so icky even if they didn’t physically do anything they were both wrong. Quell was annoyingly spineless throughout and Hale definitely deserved better. Maybe they are meant for each other seeing as Hale was okay with the emotional cheating and Quell wasn’t treating Hale with the respect he deserved and still giving in to his spouse’s selfish demands. It was so frustrating to see how it played out. The narration was great though! Love these narrators.

A must read

This is my first time reading J.R. Gray and I’m pleasantly impressed. This story though a bit heavy, was very well written and developed. I love how J.R. tackled the taboo topic of mental illness without overselling it or dismissing how serious and dangerous it an be. I wanted to hug Quell so badly. He didn’t deserve the BS his ex put him through and I’m glad he found someone like Hale who understood what he was going through without making him feel worthless. Definitely loved this story.

awesome story i love these books.

it is a great story and keeps u on the edge definitely a great read.
