Blogger/artist Kayla meets film director Ren at a press junket, & there‘s a connection, they ‘get‘ each other. But there‘s a world between them, they‘re unlikely to meet again, & both have stuff going on...

This steamy romance is completely out of my normal reading (if anyone‘s seen my normal reading, please send it home!), but I enjoyed it. The characters are well-drawn, the conversations felt real, the complications weren‘t overly-contrived 👇

rockpools and the steamy bits were steamy! I also enjoyed the love/hate relationship Kayla had with her sister. And can we talk about just how stunning that cover is?!

This may never be my go-to genre, but I‘d certainly read more by Sareeta Domingo.

This is part of publisher Jacaranda‘s Twenty in 2020 initiative, publishing 20 Black British authors throughout the year. Thank you to #NetGalley and #Jacaranda for an eARC to review. 4y

rockpools Ren‘s world of blockbuster movies is #setinhollywood, and he‘s there, sending postcards, for a couple of key scenes in the book (kind of tenuous but...) #Booked2020 Kayla spends a fair amount of time #greenwithenvy , especially where her sister‘s concerned. #BBRC #yeahbaby . Book 3 (I think) for #NetGalleyReviewathon @sprainedbrain @LibrarianRyan @Sarahreadstoomuch @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft @Cinfhen 4y

Cinfhen Woohoo 🎉 an exciting new ARC and it ticks off lots of challenge prompts 🙌🏻💕 (edited) 4y

CarolynM I like the sound of this (I'm always up for romance recs, especially from people who don't read them much). I've stacked it and I'm going to see what its price looks like🙂 4y

rockpools @Cinfhen I‘m up to 75%, even with a bail this week 🎉🎉🎉 (little things!) 4y

rockpools @CarolynM I think I‘ve read a year‘s worth of romance in the last month - it‘s most odd! Hope you enjoy it if you find it. Definitely NSFW, mind! 4y

Sarahreadstoomuch I love that cover 😍 4y

rockpools @Sarahreadstoomuch The cover artist has *definitely* read the book! 4y

ReadingEnvy @Zelma !!! The first word that stalked me is thrum so what would that tattoo look like? Jacaranda would be a neat one. 5y

Zelma Maybe some word art instead of a picture. You could keep adding for every word that stalk you in life. 😆 5y
