After years of working her way up at TV&#8217;s top outdoor travel channel, she gets the green light from network executives to bring her dream project to life: produce a series about Utah&#8217;s national parks. It&#8217;s a touching tribute to her late apong, who sparked Alia&#8217;s passion for travel and the outdoors as a kid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Alia is thrilled\u2014until she meets her newest crew member, Drew Irons. The same Drew she had the most amazing first date with two weeks ago\u2014who then ghosted her. The same Drew who has the most deliciously thick forearms and who loves second-guessing her every move on set in front of the entire crew. It&#8217;s not long before the tension between them turns hotter than the Utah desert in the dead of summer, and their steamy encounters lead to major feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">But when the series host goes rogue one too many times, jeopardizing the entire shoot, Alia realizes that she&#8217;ll need to organize one hell of a coup to save her show\u2014and she&#8217;ll need Drew&#8217;s help to do it. It&#8217;s the riskiest move she&#8217;s ever made. If she pulls it off, she&#8217;ll end up with a hit series and her dream guy . . . but if it all goes wrong, she could lose both.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_23787e9 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_2d1ea91  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16466 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts.jpg?resize=135%2C44\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> Sep 21, 2021<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $9.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><br \/><br \/><br \/>Alia\u2019s<\/strong> luck has finally turned around. She had a brief encounter with <strong>Drew<\/strong>, a man she meets on the subway. All is good until he ghosts her. Alia doesn\u2019t focus on that too long because she got news, she is finally able to produce a show that she has pitched a while ago. She is finally ready to prove to everyone she has what it takes to be in this industry.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The crew is ready to go. The only problem is that her brief fling is part of the team. Now the two of them are constantly bickering. Alia can\u2019t let anything stand in her way of achieving her goal but when things doesn\u2019t go as plan, she starts to rely on Drew to help her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of my favorite tropes is enemies-to-lovers. The constant pull and fight between characters as they fall in love just seems to draw me in. It is a fine line though between the tension and the unnecessary drama. Very few authors execute it perfectly. While I did enjoy this story the constant arguing and lack of communication bothered me. There is no real solid conflict after that.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once miscommunication is the only form of conflict the story becomes repetitive. At times, I wanted to shout out at them to just speak. They were arguing or upset with one another for no reason. A conversation could have cleared up a lot of misunderstandings early on. It makes the characters appear immature.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite my frustration, I like how the author still remain true to her humorous dialogue like previous books. The romance is kind of stilted because I didn\u2019t feel the connection between the two characters. However, I liked how author used Alia\u2019s problems in the industry to highlight the way females are treated in certain industries. I loved the female bond in the story.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, this is a very light and quick read. I am still a fan of this author and look forward to other books by her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EFqZJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/on-location\/id1548615574?itsct=books_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;ls=1&amp;at=11l88k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/on-location-stephen-smith\/1127974908?ean=9780593201664\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/on-location-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sarah_Echavarre_Smith_On_Location?id=QI4TEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing like a rocky start between enemy coworkers stuck together on location to prove that love isn&#8217;t just a ploy for ratings\u2014it&#8217;s a force of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,128,48,50],"tags":[146,216,238],"class_list":["post-27653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-berkley","category-penguin-group","category-reviews","category-samantha","tag-3-stars","tag-contemporary","tag-diverse-romance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -

After years of working her way up at TV's top outdoor travel channel, she gets the green light from network executives to bring her dream project to life: produce a series about Utah's national parks. It's a touching tribute to her late apong, who sparked Alia's passion for travel and the outdoors as a kid.<\/p> <p>Alia is thrilled\u2014until she meets her newest crew member, Drew Irons. The same Drew she had the most amazing first date with two weeks ago\u2014who then ghosted her. The same Drew who has the most deliciously thick forearms and who loves second-guessing her every move on set in front of the entire crew. It's not long before the tension between them turns hotter than the Utah desert in the dead of summer, and their steamy encounters lead to major feelings.<\/p> <p>But when the series host goes rogue one too many times, jeopardizing the entire shoot, Alia realizes that she'll need to organize one hell of a coup to save her show\u2014and she'll need Drew's help to do it. It's the riskiest move she's ever made. If she pulls it off, she'll end up with a hit series and her dream guy . . . but if it all goes wrong, she could lose both.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> Sep 21, 2021<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $9.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><br \/><br \/><br \/>Alia\u2019s<\/strong> luck has finally turned around. She had a brief encounter with <strong>Drew<\/strong>, a man she meets on the subway. All is good until he ghosts her. Alia doesn\u2019t focus on that too long because she got news, she is finally able to produce a show that she has pitched a while ago. She is finally ready to prove to everyone she has what it takes to be in this industry.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The crew is ready to go. The only problem is that her brief fling is part of the team. Now the two of them are constantly bickering. Alia can\u2019t let anything stand in her way of achieving her goal but when things doesn\u2019t go as plan, she starts to rely on Drew to help her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of my favorite tropes is enemies-to-lovers. The constant pull and fight between characters as they fall in love just seems to draw me in. It is a fine line though between the tension and the unnecessary drama. Very few authors execute it perfectly. While I did enjoy this story the constant arguing and lack of communication bothered me. There is no real solid conflict after that.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once miscommunication is the only form of conflict the story becomes repetitive. At times, I wanted to shout out at them to just speak. They were arguing or upset with one another for no reason. A conversation could have cleared up a lot of misunderstandings early on. It makes the characters appear immature.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite my frustration, I like how the author still remain true to her humorous dialogue like previous books. The romance is kind of stilted because I didn\u2019t feel the connection between the two characters. However, I liked how author used Alia\u2019s problems in the industry to highlight the way females are treated in certain industries. I loved the female bond in the story.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, this is a very light and quick read. I am still a fan of this author and look forward to other books by her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3EFqZJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/on-location\/id1548615574?itsct=books_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;ls=1&amp;at=11l88k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/on-location-stephen-smith\/1127974908?ean=9780593201664\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/on-location-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sarah_Echavarre_Smith_On_Location?id=QI4TEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27653"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29267,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27653\/revisions\/29267"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
