Honestly I don’t know how she does it but I love each book more and more. I literally just finished this and want to read it again already

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

This book was so good! I love a good Hollywood romance book and this book was a great example! I loved the chemistry between Emmy and Grayson, which honestly felt palpable! It felt like they could either kill each other or kiss each other at any moment! And then once they got together, they were adorable! I didn’t totally love the third act conflict, but I can overlook that given how much I loved the rest of the book!

I love Romcoms so when I read the synopsis I was really get excited. First the writing style was easy to read. It was actually promising. I always look for the tension and banters with Enemies to Lovers trope. As well as chemistry. However this book some was missing something. First I am not a fan of miscommunication. The first time Emmy and Grayson can be forgiven because they were teenagers, young and immature. Although I wish that was explored and explained more because it's not an excuse for the two to act like kids when they saw each other again or give no reason for Grayson to act so unprofessional during the first few scenes of the movie. The miscommunication as third act breakup felt like it was just thrown in there to have complication and the quick resolution didn't sell for me. I really wanted to love Emmy and Grayson. I love them when they are together. Although how their secret started was an okay for me because instead of talking and resolving an issue sex became the release of the tension between them. The spice was 🌶🌶 for me. I was also looking for character growth and maybe get more details about them especially Grayson. I loved Lease on Love and I still need to read her 2nd book. I know the author is good starting a romance. It's the third act breakup parts and quick resolutions is something I just need to get used to. I like the story but I really wished I loved it more

Falon Ballard has officially become an insta-buy!! Just My Type sucked me in and Right on Cue sealed the deal! I LOVED this read so much. These two characters were both sad babies and I enjoyed their journey together! Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the opportunity to read in exchange for a review!

Ahh I loved this book. It did use one of my least favorite tropes— the miscommunication trope— both as predecessor to the story (the background of why they’re “enemies”) and in the third act breakup, but I had loved the rest of the book so much I was like alright I’ll let it slide LOL so because of that, the book has enemies to lovers vibes, and also he falls first/has liked her all along tropes. I really loved the whole “on set” feel since they were filming a movie together and were the romcom leads. It was like getting two romcom stories.

Thank you NetGalley for the read!

Right on Cue is a charming and adorable rom-com, absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a light, escapist read. Emmy and Grayson were an swoon-worthy couple, and I loved watching their relationship develop. This book is very heavy on the spice, more so than my usual fare, but those sections are skimmable if you prefer a little less spice. But overall, I loved the storyline, the characters and the romance. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

This is my second book of Ballard’s and after previously reading and absolutely loving Just My Type, I was so excited to read this. While I overall did enjoy, I have to say it wasn’t as well rounded for me as her previous. It was hard to relate to Emmy as a character, as she felt very inconsistent with her feelings and actions regarding Grayson. I also had a hard time with the third act break up and the total lack of communication compared to the abundance of miscommunication. This book starts off as an enemies to lovers however the conflict didn’t really do it for me, but it might work for others. With that said, I still did love some aspects of this story. For starters, the setting and premise of it being centered around a rom com writer and an action star, who are both starring together in her rom com film. I really enjoyed the behind the scenes of them shooting the movie. I loved the best friend/director of Emmy. And I loved the side plot regarding Emmy and Grayson’s insecurities and family backgrounds. Even though this one didn’t work for me as well as Just My Type, I will still be a big fan and a reader of Ballard’s! I also would still recommend others who are a fan of her work or these tropes, to give this one a try!
Thank you so much to Putnam and Netgalley for my #gifted ARC!

This was a cute, Hollywood-based romance from one of my favorite debut authors. I LOVED Lease on Love, enjoyed Falon Ballard's second book, but this one brought me right back to the feels I had from Lease on Love. I enjoyed the steam, I enjoyed the couple, I enjoyed the little bit of Hollywood...
The break up was expected, but I still thoroughly enjoyed this book and Ballard's writing!

Book 15 of 2024 - ✅! Thank you so much to NetGalley, PENGUIN GROUP Putnam, G.P. Putnam's Sons and Fallon Ballard the ARC of Right on Cue by Fallon Ballard in exchange for my honest review.

I’m the target audience for Right on Cue by Fallon Ballard - I love rom-coms and I work in Film & TV. The book had been on my list for a minute, as I’m slowly chipping away at my NetGalley reads to get to an 80% review rate, but I digress. Right on Cue was a cute, easy and quick read for me - Emmy Harper & Grayson West felt like real people to me (especially as someone who works with folks like them). Though I felt like the book could have used a few more steamy scenes, those that were in the book were well-written. Ballard loves a rom-com trope and, I love that: enemies-to-lovers, second chance romance and a play on small-town romance, since Emmy & Grayson both live in LA but are starring in a small-town romance that’s being shot in a small-town.

I look forward to reading more of Fallon Ballard’s work, and I’m happy this was the first book of hers that I read! 3/5 ⭐️ overall, and I’d say 2.5/5 🌶️. 🎬❄️☕️ #NetGalley #RightonCue

I liked this one! I read Ballard's Lease on Love and loved that one - I didn't love this one quite as much, and didn't get as invested in the characters or the plot. I can't really put my finger on why. BUT, it was still an easy breezy quick rom-com read, which was a much needed break from some heavier nonfiction I've been reading this winter. Just the right amount of fun and heat! I'd recommend this to friends and family who are looking for a good vacation read.

I've read the author's previous work before and I thought this was a lot different than her previous novels. This might be my favorite among all three I've read of her. Emmy and Greyson (fucking West) chemistry is palpable in the book and I like the mysterious, broken past, broody type that Greyson's character has in this book. Emmy has this fear of failure from basically living under her parents' shadow - both of whom were A-list Hollywood celebrities. Their relationship started (or rekindled honestly) from costars-with-benefits until feelings get involved after some intimate conversations. This book is HOT, which also was unexpected to me from the author (but I still ATE IT UP). I'd say I'm not really a fan of celebrity romance but I enjoy this story a lot!

Thank you, NetGalley, for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was okay read. Didn't love it, but didn't hate it. I expect too much from these "celebrities" types of romance but I think they may not be for me. Something always feels off.

2/5 stars - thank you netgalley and the publisher! the premise of this book wasn’t my go to for romance but i still wanted to give it a shot and the reviews weren’t bad. i’ll admit this book wasn’t for me. the fmc was borderline insufferable and for no clearly defined reason. the mmc is about as dimensional as a sheet of cardboard. lots of repetitive dialogue and metaphors.

Emmy Harper is the queen of rom coms. After one terrible experience in acting, she turned to screenwriting and never looked back. Since then she has written the screenplays for some of the most successful rom coms. With her latest movie, she isn’t able to find a leading lady, so her best friend, and producer convinces Emmy to take the role. But an injury leads to a last minute casting change and the next thing Emmy knows she’s acting opposite of Grayson West. This is the same co-star she had the last time she took a shot at acting, and he was a large part of the reason that experience ended badly. The two are forced to move past the awkwardness in order to save the movie, but it’s more complicated than anyone expected.

I love a celebrity second-chance romance and I love Fallon Ballard’s writing so this book was a huge hit for me. Emmy and Grayson’s tension and chemistry was off the charts, even when they hated each other. It was clear there were some major unresolved feelings and so when they finally got together it led to some incredible and very steamy moments.

Thank you to Putnam Books and NetGalley for the advance copy.

Enemies to lovers is such a fun trope and this one is well done. I really enjoyed the behind the scenes of a movie setting - its unique and just an interesting experience in a read.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Got about 55% through and my time for finishing the book before archival is coming to an end. I really enjoyed this one so far and will be finishing it when it comes available at my library.

I absolutely loved this book. It was so cute and funny and so enjoyable! An enemies to lovers/second chance/workplace romance that you will eat up. This is one of my favorite kinds of books.. maybe a little cheesy at times, but just so fun. Emmy and Grayson.

3.5 stars
This was a cute light romance that I enjoyed. I’ve always been fascinated with “behind the scenes” in Hollywood so this was a fun setting. I could have skipped the typical trope of misunderstanding towards the end but other than that it was a cute romance that was perfect for a light feel good read.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc!

Screenwriter Emmy is thrilled about her new project- her best friend is directing it, so what could go wrong? But when the crew is unable to find someone who can accurately capture Emmy’s female lead, she’s pressured by those around her to take the part herself. She’s acted before, after all- something she quit doing because of Grayson West.

Emmy reluctantly agrees to play the part to save the project, and the cast sets off to begin filming. Imagine Emmy’s horror when she gets to the hotel (reserved for movie cast only) and runs into none other than Grayson West. Unfortunately for Emmy, just as she was the only person who could play the lead female role, no one could play the male role quite like Grayson. And to add insult to injury, Grayson doesn’t even seem to remember Emmy, despite how his actions have hurt her.

As the two start filming on set, their rivalry gets in the way of their acting and professionalism, putting the project behind- and at risk. Getting fed up with the difficulties, Emmy’s best friend forces Emmy and Grayson to figure out a way to put their differences aside, at least on set, to complete the movie. As the two are forced to spend more time together and gain a better understanding of each other, they realize the mistakes and miscommunications between them in the past. While the two get closer, rumors fly as all eyes are on the potential new co-star couple.

I thought this book was cute, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys celebrity romances or romcoms in general. While this wasn’t one of my favorite books that I’ve read recently, (I’m not a huge fan of celebrity romances) I do still want to read other books by this author and am excited for her upcoming Christmas novel.

I love Falon Ballard's couples and characters. In this book, while Emmy's inability to communicate sometimes irked me, I found her and Grayson to be lovable and believable enemies to lovers. I loved the RomCom of it all, Falon always has excellent pop culture references, and the book was really enjoyable! Would recommend if you're in the mood for a romcom!
