A showrunner and her assistant give the world something to talk about when they accidentally fuel a ridiculous rumor in this debut romance.
Hollywood powerhouse Jo is photographed making her assistant Emma laugh on the red carpet, and just like that, the tabloids declare them a couple. The so-called scandal couldn't come at a worse time—threatening Emma's promotion and Jo's new movie.
As the gossip spreads, it starts to affect all areas of their lives. Paparazzi are following them outside the office, coworkers are treating them differently, and a "source" is feeding information to the media. But their only comment is "no comment".
With the launch of Jo's film project fast approaching, the two women begin to spend even more time together, getting along famously. Emma seems to have a sixth sense for knowing what Jo needs. And Jo, known for being aloof and outwardly cold, opens up to Emma in a way neither of them expects. They begin to realize the rumor might not be so off base after all…but is acting on the spark between them worth fanning the gossip flames?
My Review:
This book was a wonderful read! I heard that this is Berkley's first F/F romance novel, and I was really excited to read it! And it was so easy and short to read, and I just devoured it, it was a really great story and so entertaining to read!
This book deals with one major issue, sexual harassment in Hollywood. It mentions the lack of diversity as well, which is a small part of a bigger problem, but it's an underpinning part of the book, that Jo is Asian, not a active part of the book, like the situation that Emma has to deal with.
I just really enjoyed their relationship, they worked well together, boss and assistant, and that showed in the picture that made people think that they were dating. I was so glad that it didn't show people looking down on them for their supposed romantic relationship. They had to deal with other issues.
Like the fact that people think Emma was sleeping with her boss to get her job. And the complexities of the fact that Emma does work for Jo. And the misunderstandings! Oh, man, the misunderstandings! I loved all the emotional drama, especially since it ultimately ends with a happy ending!
This book was so cute and precious and amazing to read, and I really enjoyed it!
