This book had the potential to be a really great story, but unfortunately, the female main character’s pettiness made it difficult to enjoy. The plot itself is well-crafted—she writes a novel that she’s ashamed of because it’s a bit spicier than usual. Despite her success, earning tons of money from it, she’s too embarrassed to tell her publishing family that she’s the author. The mother would never accept her daughter wrote a romance , she is too good and to choose such a worthless genre.
At 70% no one still has a clue she is the real author and she is still firm in the decision not to tell anyone.
At some point, the younger sister nearly outs her secret, which really bothered me. Why would anyone want to expose someone’s pen name so much? That felt so wrong to me. I understand what the author was trying to do with this plot point, but instead of adding tension or depth, it just dragged the story down due to the main character’s pettiness.
Another issue is the lack of a dual POV. We only get the FMC’s perspective, so we never really know what the MMC is thinking, and that feels like a missed opportunity. Because of this, I struggled to finish the book. Despite the voice actress doing a fantastic job with the narration, the story was difficult to get through.
I feel like the author wanted to make a tribute to all our beloved romance books and the amazing people that are behind it, but she did it by exposing and using one of the worst stigma there is on this genre.
Overall, I’m disappointed. While the main concept is positive, the execution is poor. I found very few redeeming qualities in the story, and more than once, I considered not finishing it.
The voice actress did an amazing job with it, the problem definitely wasn’t hers or the production. ...more

Addie is focused on work and being a woman in a men´s world she cannot be distracted by anything or anyone. But Duncan, the guy she had a secret story four years ago, and captain of the hockey team seems bend to conquer her back. And when for PR reasons the two are thrown together it´s difficult to resist something that was so good. I love when the MMC is caring and I oved Duncan, not just with Addie, but also with his niece. He truly is the perfect book boyfriend. Also I related a lot to Addie, she wanted to make it and was scared of loosing everything she worked for because she is a woman. Unfortunately working every day in a men´s world I feel all her insecurities really close to me and it wasn´t always easy to process them (even though this is a rom-com, Pippa Gant approaches this topic splendidly). I really liked the narration of this ALC, Duncan voice was so hot!!! (and wait for the spice, it will get even better)...more
