Sparks fly when two feuding TV presenters are thrown together to host a live morning show in Lucy Parker’s latest enemies-to-lovers contemporary romance.

“A superb contemporary romance. Parker’s readers, new and returning, are sure to find this one hard to put down.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

He might be the sexiest man in London, according to his fan site (which he definitely writes himself), but he’s also the most arrogant man she’s ever met.

She might have the longest legs he’s ever seen, but she also has the sharpest tongue.

For years, rival TV presenters Sabrina Carlton and Nick Davenport have traded barbs on their respective shows. The public can’t get enough of their feud, but after Nick airs Sabrina’s family scandals to all of Britain, the gloves are off. They can barely be in the same room together—but these longtime enemies are about to become the unlikeliest of cohosts.

With their reputations on the rocks, Sabrina and Nick have one last chance to save their careers. If they can resurrect a sinking morning show, they’ll still have a future in television. But with ratings at an all-time low and a Christmas Eve deadline to win back the nation’s favor, the clock is ticking—and someone on their staff doesn’t want them to succeed.

Small mishaps on set start adding up, and Sabrina and Nick find themselves—quelle horreur—working together to hunt down the saboteur…and discovering they might have more in common than they thought. When a fiery encounter is caught on camera, the public is convinced that the reluctant cohosts are secretly lusting after one another.

The public might not be wrong.

Their chemistry has always been explosive, but with hate turning to love, the stakes are rising and everything is on the line. Neither is sure if they can trust these new feelings…or if they’ll still have a job in the New Year.

Product description

Review

"This is an enemies-to-lovers plot at its best--with sparks flying, banter that's fiery but never mean, and a palpable sexual tension." --NPR

"Headliners delivered everything I wanted and expected. It's warm, funny and gorgeously romantic, the characters are rounded and engaging, the writing is terrific and everything about it works on every level. It's the sort of book that wraps you up in a big cuddle and leaves you smiling." -All About Romance

"Romance fans will root for this sweet, saucy relationship." -Publishers Weekly

"I can't remember the last time I got this sucked in to a contemporary romance series. Sharp dialogue, a close-up view of work--actual work!--in entertainment media, sizzling chemistry, gasp-worthy drama, and at the center of everything a great, warm, welcoming heart." -The Seattle Review of Books

"I can't recommend Headliners highly enough...Parker's books are unforgettable." -Frolic

"Lucy Parker encapsulates just what I want in contemporary romances - witty banter, likable characters, swoonworthy moments and real emotional substance." --All About Romance

"Once again, Parker does a wonderful job of building a relationship in a believable way. [...] I continue to appreciate Parker's skill in drawing characters who feel like real people I would want to spend time with." --Cannonball Read

About the Author

Lucy Parker lives in the gorgeous Central Otago region of New Zealand, where she feels lucky every day to look out at mountains, lakes and vineyards. She has a degree in Art History, loves museums and galleries, and doodles unrecognisable flowers when she has writer's block.

Her interest in romantic fiction began with a pre-teen viewing of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Firth-style), which prompted her to read the book as well, and the rest was history.

Lucy Parker is an absolute fave of mine. She can do no wrong, she just writes the best books. And she didn't disappoint with this one either.

Sabrina and Nick were introduced in the last book and those pair had some history going on. I mean, Nick was a no-good dirty dog airing Sabrina’s family’s dirty laundry on his show for ratings and to give him a boost for a job he was competing against Sabrina for. He had a lot of work to do to redeem himself in my eyes, and Sabrina’s. Luckily for him, from the very start, you just know he had deep regrets about the events of the last book. It was a mistake, someone was going to do it but he shouldn’t have aired the story for a step up. He knew he had done wrong and his guilt about that was obvious. It didn’t redeem him but it meant I was willing to let him work for my forgiveness.

And Sabrina? She’s overcoming heartbreak, family drama, and now she’s fighting for her job. She’s in luck, though, because Nick opens his big mouth at the wrong time and gets in the bosses bad books so they end up having to work together on a morning breakfast show competing to stay on their network and stay employed.

At first, they hate one another and I loved that snarky banter. Hate was probably a strong word, I don’t think Nick ever hated Sabrina, but she’s certainly had a little bit of a grudge. We all know where snarky banter and hate goes in a good romance book, don’t we? These two had sparks flying all over the place and I was so ready for them to get together they were just the best. If I had been in this world I would have been all over social media shipping them hard.

And this book was funny! I was smiling so much when reading and that is definitely the kind of book we all need in our lives right now, isn’t it?

Sabrina and Nick have long disliked each other but this is no typical enemies to lovers romance because when Lucy Parker writes a book it is witty, funny (I laughed several times), above all entertaining with real depth to the characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Swoony goodness
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2020
How damn adorable is that cover? It gave me vibes before I started the book, but it gives me serious heart eyes on finishing. HEADLINERS took me a little while to get into, but once I did (about 20%), I was hook, line and sinker for this story and these characters.

This interconnected standalone in the London Celebrities series was a enemies to more trope but I want to impress that this gave so much more than that phrasing suggests. There was a longish standing dislike between Nick and Sabrina but events in the previous book led to an all-out hatred between these two that was not comedic at all, it was real. This was no fakey-hate. No, I believed their lines in the sand when they were thrust together to present a new show.

All that said, there was total tangibility in Lucy Parker’s ability to move this pair from presenting couple to real-life couple. As co-presenters, they spent a lot of time together having to seem to be on the same team. It was amusing, almost slapstick at times and I loved reading about them. What I loved even more was the trickle of real connection and feelings that evolved. The chemistry went from non-existent, to subtle to sizzle and I was glued to my kindle.

"She was beautiful – she was ... gorgeous, but he couldn’t even objectively see her physical features anymore. He just saw her, which was something that only happened with the people he cared about the most."

There was a bit of banter, some fun dialogue but generally, I think this might have been a tad more serious than some of Lucy Parker’s others in the series. I didn’t enjoy it any the less for this fact. Not all couples are super funny, some are just who they are and these two captured your attention and kept it.

This was another fabulous read in one of the most consistently good contemporary romance series I’ve enjoyed in years. You can’t go wrong with a bit of Lucy Parker.

Thank you to Carina Press and Netgalley for this early review copy.

Wonderful romance with enough fascinating glimpses of the workings of a tv talk show to make it great. Loved both characters and already loved most of the supporting cast from the earlier books in this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great characters, dialog, and heat!
Reviewed in the United States on 24 January 2020

If you’re a fan of this series then you’ll remember that Sabrina Carlton and Nick Davenport are rival anchors on competing networks in London and at the end of the previous book Nick had reported news that tore Sabrina’s family apart. So, at the beginning of Headliners when they are both told they would be anchoring a morning show together for one month I knew that the sparks would be flying! When they start the show and realize someone is out to sabotage their chances at making this show a success they band together to find the culprit and all of a sudden there are other kinds of sparks flying.

Just as with the previous novels in this series Lucy Parker really knows how to write great dialog, characters who are not perfect but that a reader can care about, and sizzling romance. I loved that Sabrina and Nick were an interracial pair yet all of the issues they had stemmed from non racial issues. In fact, despite the saboteur at work, this was a “normal” romance…and that is how it should be. Maybe it’s not realistic to talk about issues others may have with their pairing, but truthfully? All I cared about after starting to read was that they were interesting characters and had some great dialog, and most importantly HEAT. Enough said.

So, despite seeing Nick as the bad guy in the previous novel, that one act was all we knew about him. This book allowed us to see his regrets over how that story played out. That insight totally helped me get past him screwing Sabrina and her sister Freddy over. I moved on from dislike to enamored rather quickly, exactly as the author intended. It also helped that in this novel Sabrina and Nick had a common enemy to fight. There’s nothing like banding together to fight evil that makes you think of sex! LOL.

Headliners was a ton of fun to read and I hated that it had to end. I’m trying to think of someone that this series could continue with, maybe Nick’s brother Iain? A single dad who is slightly gruff, but loves his daughter? Hmm. From my lips to the book gods (ok authors) ears in New Zealand… fingers crossed! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley and the publisher for my honest review and it was honest!

Lucy Parker is definitely my favourite contemporary romance writer.
This new story is a complete delight. A perfect balance between snarky, sexy, sweet, and touching. Nobody writes enemies-to-lovers like Parker. The path from antipathy to incredible chemistry and actual affection feels natural, and frankly swoony.

You know when you read a book and you don’t want it to end because you’re loving it so much? This book was that for me. I kept looking at my read percentage going up thinking no!! I’m not ready to leave this world and characters! Sabrina and Nick sizzle all through the book. I laughed and giggled and fell in love with them along the way. It’s a tale of redemption, forgiveness and love all woven into a wonderfully delightful story.

I love this series so much. This installment finds two people who were competing hosts of night time interview shows. Both of their careers have taken a hit from events in the last book. They don't like one another and Nick recently blew up one of Sabrina's family secrets. He lost his best friend and pissed off a lot of his viewers. Now they are having to work together on a morning show and neither of them is happy about it. Throw in a show saboteur and unexpected sparks and you have an excellent book filled with lots of adjusting and learning. I adore that all of the couples in this series are adults. They face real issues and although some seem insurmountable, they talk and listen and think about the other person.
I loved the crazy things that happened on the set and how they had to team up to figure out what was going on. I loved how they started to see one another in different ways.
This series is so well written. It's full of laughter and wit and sexy times. Each character is different and interesting.
