A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy

Though it all becomes worthwhile when she discovers her co-star is none other than childhood crush Nolan Shaw, an ex-boy band member in desperate need of career rehab. But when Bee's favorite producer casts her to star in a Christmas movie he's making for the squeaky-clean Hope Channel, Bee's career is about to take a more family-friendly direction.įorced to keep her work as Bianca under wraps, Bee quickly learns this is a task a lot easier said than done.

With a huge following and two supportive moms, Bee couldn't ask for more. This was a living history type show with contestants entering as pairs (not necessarily couples) and competing in teams to win the typical Big Prize.Cowritten by #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone-a steamy plus-size holiday rom-com about an adult film star who is semi-accidentally cast as a lead in a family-friendly Christmas movie, and the former bad-boy pop star she falls in love with.īee Hobbes (aka Bianca Von Honey) has a successful career as a plus-size adult film star. The other reality show themed romance I enjoyed was Rosalind James’s Welcome to Paradise, book 1 in her Kincaids series. The heroine is a reluctant participant in a quasi-romance themed show with her fiance–less said about him the better–and the hero is a former figure skater with a bad boy reputation. Most of the series is focused on figure skating, but you don’t need to read book 1 to enjoy Turning It on. Also, can I just say that I adored Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade.įor those who are into reality show romances, I enjoyed Elizabeth Harmon’s Turning It On, book 2 in the Red Hot Russians series.

There’s lots of period detail and reality checks on the glamor. Barbara Hambly’s 2 Silver Screen Historical Mysteries are a great take on Silent Screen era Hollywood from the pov of a really likeable couple who aren’t “stars” or power players.

I want to second Mayberry’s Secret Diaries of Daytime Divas it’s the first thing I thought of.
