Listen—as someone who’s never been fully confident in her own body, Camera Shy hit very close to home. Kay Cove didn’t just write a romance; she wrote a feeling. One that wrapped around me and whispered, you’re not alone.
The FFM? So relatable it almost hurt. Her insecurities, her growth, the way she learns to see herself through someone else's eyes—it was empowering and emotional in all the right ways.
You know those books where a single sentence gives you that tingle up your spine, and suddenly you’re holding your breath, completely caught in the moment? Yeah. That was this book. The tension, the intimacy—it was chef's kiss perfect.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wished you could see what others see, this book will resonate. It's sexy, sweet, and surprisingly healing.
5 stars. Easy.

BODY POSITIVITY AND CONFIDENCE ARE THE MAIN MESSAGE IN THIS BOOK!
As someone who is on the bigger side I felt this book hit my deep in my core. I wish I had someone like Finn to help me through the tough times like Avery did.
I absolutely loved this book and would 10/10 recommend

Camera Shy by Kay Cove is a spicy contemporary romance that follows FMC, Avery who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and body positivity after a painful breakup. When she moves to Las Vegas for the summer, she meets her charming neighbor, Finn, who runs a photography studio. They strike a deal: Finn will help Avery learn to love her body through boudoir photography, and in return, Avery will help save his struggling business.
When you read Camera Shy, you can expect:
- Neighbors to Lovers
- Body Positivity - Avery learns to love and appreciate her body
- Praise Kink
- Curvy FMC
- Protective MMC - not quite Touch Her and Die vibes, but close
- Second Chance Romance
- He Falls First
- Found Family
This book is a heartfelt and empowering romance that beautifully blends spice with emotion and personal growth. Avery’s transformation from self-doubt to self-love is inspiring, and Finn’s unwavering support makes him a swoon-worthy book boyfriend. The chemistry between the characters is top notch, and the boudoir photography sessions add a unique and spicy twist to the story.
If this review hasn’t persuaded you yet, check out some of my favorite quotes from the book:
“Confidence starts with you. A man is going to treat you how you treat yourself. So please, for the love of God, act like a fucking queen.”
“This one is for every single woman who feels less than, and is battling insecurity… It’s time to pick up your crown, Queen. Look in the mirror. You’ve been royalty all this time. Act like it.”
“I technically did ask a question, but here’s how the next five minutes are going to go. You’re not going to speak. I’m going to talk to you. I’m going to strip you down and point out all the things I love about your body. For five minutes, you are going to just enjoy a man, who you think fucks like a porn star, worshiping you. How’s that sound?”
I think I’ve made my point. ;-)
