ARC REVIEW! I just want to thank Love Notes PR and Chelsea for allowing me this opportunity to read such a wonderful story. Itโll be one that I adore and will continue to do so for many years to come.

Oh, how I wish it was me that Shawn was saying that to, not Laceyโฆ
This is the second story that I have read by Chelsea and I donโt know how she manages to write stories that are so perfect, but she does. I am in awe of her writing and she is officially a favourite author of mine. It genuinely shocks me that sheโs not been picked up by a traditional publishing company because of how good her stories are!
Caught on Camera is a sequel to Camera Chemistry, however it can be read as a stand alone. The story focuses on NFL Coach Shawn Holmes and paediatrician Lacey Holmes. I am an absolute SUCKER for friends to lovers, itโs one of my favourite tropes and this one did not disappoint. I love that they started off as friends who didnโt have a single bit of attraction to one another, but grew to be best friends after being introduced to one another through their own best friends. They always put their friendship first and the friendship between them was beautiful, itโs a friendship people can only dream of, and only some are lucky to have.
As the fake dating trope came into play, I like that things were communicated to friends anout what they were planning to do. The maturity each of Chelseaโs characters have is wonderful and something to appreciate. I also love that thereโs no miscommunication between Shawn and Lacey, itโs nice to read a story where two adults communicate things well rather than the cliche third break up act which is often communication.
I know that I keep saying I loved something within this book, but I cannot find a single fault apart from the lack of diversity within the book. It wouldโve been nice to see different races, sexualities and more mentioned. I did however love the mental health representation. It played such a big part within the story and warmed my heart massively to be able to relate to Shawn in such a way. It also helped me to reconsider athletes; just because they may have a ton of money doesnโt mean they do not experience the kind of things that we do. They may very well experience anxiety, depression, heartbreak and more like we do. Money doesnโt always make you, that is true.
Finally, the spice in this story was BEAUTIFUL. I think the scenes represented the characters perfectly and while I think it couldโve been a little spicier at times, I really enjoyed that these scenes ended up so romantic and beautiful. The scenes warmed my heart and made me happy to read more, made me want to HAVE more. I am a girly who loves to be praised and let me tell youโฆ Shawn Holmes is the praising kink king. Long shall he rein, I am desperate for him.
If you havenโt realised already, I truly loved this book and I will recommend it to anyone and everyone whoโs in the mood for something that warms their heart and leaves them feeling content. Youโll love this story just as much as I do, if not more.
