Camera Shy by Kay Cove

4.0

This story follows a woman who is dumped and goes to Las Vegas where she meets a man who changes her confidence. I enjoyed this story written by Cove. I really enjoyed the story in the beginning but I have to say that the story did get slow and very repetitive. The story was still entertaining but there weren’t huge conflicts throughout the book. I loved the message behind the book about having confidence and no matter what someone says, you are beautiful. The story nailed it with the message and I loved the plus size representation. This book takes place majority in Las Vegas and I loved exploring it through the MC’s eyes. The story is told from both Avery and Finn’s pov. 

 

Avery is dumped by her boyfriend/business partner of 4 years so when she has an opportunity to go to Las Vegas, she goes. I loved seeing her grow throughout the book and building her confidence. Then we have Finn who is a great guy but his heart has also been broken. I liked his story too and seeing him able to find love again. I do have to say that his story was quickly finished with as he didn’t go through much heartbreak in the beginning. The side characters were well-written and I loved Lennox in this story. I can’t wait to read her book. I did hate Avery’s bff and if you read the book you will see why. This book is very steamy with neighbors to lovers, insta-love and teacher/student romance. The chemistry was great but it was such a slow burn for them to admit they love each other. 

 

The ending was cute and I loved the epilogue we got. They are such a perfect couple for each other. I can’t wait to read the next book in this world as I enjoyed it. I do hope the next book has more conflicts or the book-length is shorter.
