This should have been better than it was. It wasn’t bad, but I kept expecting more.
I really liked that Bee and Nolan were each other’s celebrity crushes. If she was just a fan instead of being famous in her own right, I don’t think this would have worked.

Porn Star and Ex Boy Band Member make a Hallmark style Christmas movie. Chaos and steamy fun ensues.

DNF at PG. 310 This book missed its mark for Me. I will say it was a very interesting concept having a porn star transition into a movie star but this books writing was very different from other authors I've read. I felt like I was dragging through the story, constantly pointing out particularly parts and wording that I just didn't like. Once I got to a certain part of the novel I realized it was just not my type of book and put it down for good.

I liked how the book ended despite it being super quick, I would have loved more details about the aftermath of the love confession interview and how they both managed to make comebacks from that. I did think there were slightly too many spicy scenes that I ended up skimming through, but overall I found myself enjoying this book.

*update on my re-read. And I still love it! Even more the second time through, to be honest. Bee and Nolan are so cute together, and I am glad I gave it another read before I moved on to book 2!
There is so much fun in this book, and Julie and Sierra make a great team writing Christmas Notch, I can't wait to read more from the duo.
I went into this one blindly and enjoyed it quite a bit. Some of the repetitive "fat" comments and "boy bind" BS were a bit too much, but I just let that slip by.
A cute romance, that involves a plus size $ex worker meeting her teen idol by chance, filling in for a Hallmark-type Christmas movie, on the fly. Obviously not really plausible, but it's FICTION so I won't let that bother me.
Cute, steamy holiday read.

Not what I was expecting. Had the premise of being really good but I think the execution fell. The tension of the MC's "adult" employment being kept a secret didn't really feel needed when half the crew was involved in the same field. While there were a lot of spicey seems, they felt as if it was the same spicy motions but just a different background. (There was no build-up to a moment or different aspects despite a "suitcase" of ideas.) I did like the character of Nolan. I felt he was fleshed out more than the others because more of his backstory and troubles were discussed in a way that gave a good sense of who he was. I didn't feel that about the other characters. Lots of representation in this book for the LGBTQ community as well as those who have the diagnosis of being bipolar.

Decent rom com, little bit of spice, and lots of body positive, sex positive non-hetero characters which made it way more special than you’re average in the genre. Sadly I did find it was a really slow start and dragged as well in the middle. I’m honestly think it needed 100 less pages.
