About this listen

She’s a librarian. He’s a movie star. Someone wants them dead.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions.

Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Caught in a high-stakes cliffhanger, it’s up to the leading man and his unlikely love interest to save the day, defeat the bad guys and maybe—just maybe—earn their own happy ending.

Lights. Camera. Run for your life.

Fun, for thoughtful peeps who feel that they don’t quite fit

Great narration with a surprisingly thoughtful plot for a romance caper. Nice plot twists and artfully drawn characters.

Badass librarian meets Hollywood star and mystery ensues!

This was a really entertaining and thoughtful book, with two well-developed and believable characters. The plot was exciting and beyond the usual "famous person and normie" trope, and I loved the thoughtful parts. I was particularly struck by the bit where Lana says that librarians are the guardians of civil rights. Ain't that the truth.

Rip-off "Romantic Comedy" by Curtis Sittenfeld with added Cops

This was perfectly entertaining for the duration of listening, however I would not be interested enough in any of the characters to wish for a sequel. The was probably a bit too much plot crammed in for the characters to be fully developed. Some interesting insights into the Hollywood machinery.

I enjoyed the story and the narrators

I liked the twist and turns in the story. it was fun to listen to. There has always been scandal in Hollywood, and it was plausible that blackmail was involved. You wanted the two main characters to stay together. The twists and turns in the family stories were good.
