But her latest project has hit a standstill\u2014unable to find the perfect leading lady, Emmy\u2019s been recruited to take on the role herself, dusting off acting skills she hasn\u2019t used in over a decade.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Things take a turn for the worse when a she&#8217;s left with the one costar she can\u2019t trust: Grayson West. A blockbuster action hero known for his megawatt smile and impossible abs, Grayson is anyone\u2019s dream of a romantic lead. Too bad Emmy still blames him for her disastrous first movie and the early end to her acting career.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">The friction between the two risks tanking the movie, and no one knows if it\u2019s lingering awkwardness from their youth or unresolved sexual tension. But if they want to save the production\u2014and their own careers\u2014they need to get their acts together quickly, both on and off camera.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_ow66178 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_nsxi178  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-25881 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png?resize=296%2C72\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Feb 27, 2024<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Scorching<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> G.P. Putnam&#8217;s Sons <br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $12.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>Unexpected in all the best ways.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is my first Ballard book, and I hope it won\u2019t be my last. For starters, the backdrop is a movie set featuring a comeback of sorts for our FMC (female main character) <strong>Emmy Harper<\/strong>. Daughter of two Hollywood icons and no stranger to being in front of or behind the camera, she\u2019s penned a new script. One that will put her back into making rom-coms, which she hasn\u2019t done in quite a while.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Everything is coming up perfect for Emmy. Her best friend is the director. They have the perfect cast selected. Even the ideal location. Except, no leading lady. She\u2019s got no choice but to take the role, a role she\u2019s crafted with herself in mind. Then another disaster strikes when her male lead is injured. The replacement is none other than the very man who sent her hiding behind the camera more than a decade prior, <strong>Grayson West<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Can I say sparks? Umpteen times. Emmy and Grayson are enemies, and from the start, nothing goes right. But we all know hate is just one step away from love if the pendulum swings hard enough. I will say this book was rougher for me since it was only told from Emmy\u2019s point of view. I hated not knowing what was happening in Grayson\u2019s head. This also stayed at four stars because of Emmy herself. She\u2019s probably the most stubborn person ever, and there are a couple of situations in this book that would have played out a bit differently if she decided not to jump the gun.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But if you like slow burns that turn into scorching romps, this one is definitely for you. There\u2019s this sizzle of buildup between these two that was a joy to read. I also really enjoyed how both Emmy and Grayson have all these stereotypes surrounding them based on their history or the type of actors they are, and it&#8217;s enlightening as those things fall away over the course of the book. The reality is people are always more than just the one thing they may be famous for.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re looking for a Hollywood rom-com, this one definitely fits the bill, though it is more rommy than commy. It is for readers who enjoy <strong>Emily Henry.<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_jdxn179 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\/3TkhA2i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3PnCIDH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/right-on-cue-falon-ballard\/1143455972?ean=9780593712917\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/right-on-cue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Falon_Ballard_Right_on_Cue?id=3XS9EAAAQBAJ\" 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>Emmy Harper is no stranger to Hollywood, having penned some of the most popular movies of the past few years.

But her latest project has hit a standstill\u2014unable to find the perfect leading lady, Emmy\u2019s been recruited to take on the role herself, dusting off acting skills she hasn\u2019t used in over a decade.<br \/><br \/>Things take a turn for the worse when a she's left with the one costar she can\u2019t trust: Grayson West. A blockbuster action hero known for his megawatt smile and impossible abs, Grayson is anyone\u2019s dream of a romantic lead. Too bad Emmy still blames him for her disastrous first movie and the early end to her acting career.<br \/><br \/>The friction between the two risks tanking the movie, and no one knows if it\u2019s lingering awkwardness from their youth or unresolved sexual tension. But if they want to save the production\u2014and their own careers\u2014they need to get their acts together quickly, both on and off camera.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Feb 27, 2024<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Scorching<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> G.P.

For starters, the backdrop is a movie set featuring a comeback of sorts for our FMC (female main character) <strong>Emmy Harper<\/strong>. Daughter of two Hollywood icons and no stranger to being in front of or behind the camera, she\u2019s penned a new script. One that will put her back into making rom-coms, which she hasn\u2019t done in quite a while.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Everything is coming up perfect for Emmy. Her best friend is the director. They have the perfect cast selected. Even the ideal location. Except, no leading lady. She\u2019s got no choice but to take the role, a role she\u2019s crafted with herself in mind. Then another disaster strikes when her male lead is injured. The replacement is none other than the very man who sent her hiding behind the camera more than a decade prior, <strong>Grayson West<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Can I say sparks? Umpteen times. Emmy and Grayson are enemies, and from the start, nothing goes right. But we all know hate is just one step away from love if the pendulum swings hard enough. I will say this book was rougher for me since it was only told from Emmy\u2019s point of view. I hated not knowing what was happening in Grayson\u2019s head. This also stayed at four stars because of Emmy herself. She\u2019s probably the most stubborn person ever, and there are a couple of situations in this book that would have played out a bit differently if she decided not to jump the gun.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But if you like slow burns that turn into scorching romps, this one is definitely for you. There\u2019s this sizzle of buildup between these two that was a joy to read. I also really enjoyed how both Emmy and Grayson have all these stereotypes surrounding them based on their history or the type of actors they are, and it's enlightening as those things fall away over the course of the book. The reality is people are always more than just the one thing they may be famous for.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re looking for a Hollywood rom-com, this one definitely fits the bill, though it is more rommy than commy. It is for readers who enjoy <strong>Emily Henry.<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3TkhA2i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3PnCIDH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/right-on-cue-falon-ballard\/1143455972?ean=9780593712917\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/right-on-cue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Falon_Ballard_Right_on_Cue?id=3XS9EAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31058","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=31058"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31058\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31064,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31058\/revisions\/31064"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
