LIGHTS CAMERA PASSION was a fantastic romance! Isabel Lucero knows how to write a story, and these characters drew me in immediately. 350 pages went by in a blink! 

Jacoby Hart and Roman Black are cast in a popular queer book to movie adaptation. The pressure is on, and they are both desperate to do a good job. They both think the other hates them, and sometimes they do, but the chemistry is there too. 

This was a feel-good story that left me cheering on Roman and Jacoby. Both scared of coming out because of their careers, their romance was full of missteps and miscommunication. 

I really loved how ACTING was a big part of the story. Who they were behind closed doors, and on screen - especially their chemistry. 

This book had a few sex scenes, but this story was mainly focused on Rome and Jacoby's romance. Which was a perfect way to tell their love story. 

I loved the side characters. Jess reminded me of Anna Kendrick when she was in Twilight. She left me laughing quite a bit. 

I DO feel like folks will think of RW&RB when reading this, and I hope that doesn't take away from the story. Jacoby and Roman aren't Alex and Henry. 

I loved that this took place between two actors on a film set. We don't have enough romances between actors. 

Again, I really enjoyed this story. Isabel did a wonderful job bringing these two characters to life. I hope they both won Oscars.
