Really enjoyed this rom-com about a rom-com. Emmy and Grayson are adorable when they're feuding and even more so once they fall in love. But the course of true love never runs smoothly, does it? Although I received an ARC, my opinions are my own and i heartily recommend this book.

Thank you to NetGalley, the Publishers, and Falon Ballard for an ARC of Right on Cue. Oh did this warm my little mystery/thriller heart. I found Falon before I got completely turned to thriller books and she has a special place in my reading heart and is an auto buy. I, and I can’t say this enough, loved this book more than I can put into words. This had everything - tension, tears because of course, happiness. The sexual tension alone! Emmy is a screenwriter and takes another chance at acting after she swore it off when she was 15 after her first shot at acting. She wrote the movie, will act in it, what could go wrong? Until her enemy, Grayson f West, shows up to take her partners part. Will they be able to put there differences aside so her second film doesn’t tank? You will definitely need to find out 😉

This was delightful! I adore Emmy and Grayson, and I love how they challenge and support each other. Their banter and chemistry was top notch. The plot sounded fun and promising, but this was even better than I expected. The miscommunication bit drove me crazy, but it all played out well as anticipated. It was such a fun read!

These characters were awful. I really did not like either Grayson or Emmy. Emmy was really annoying because she never thought she was in the wrong. The whole conflict at the beginning was so frustrating because both characters were at fault, and yet neither one of them thought they possibly could have done anything wrong. I also did not care for their relationship because it was all about lust. It just felt gross after a while.
Unpopular opinion, but I love third act break ups. However, this book had the feeling of a third act break up every. single. chapter. It got so annoying because these characters were in an endless cycle of fighting and then sleeping together.

Oh my god, this book. It’s making me feel so many feelings - like, I want to laugh and cry and throw up all at the same time, but in a good way. It makes my heart feel squishy. I’m going to go sit with and feel all my feelings right now.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

Wanna go behind the scenes of a romcom movie and watch the two leads fall ass over cheek in love? Well here’s your chance!

Emmy and Grayson haven’t worked together since that fateful movie years ago that killed her acting career and changed the corse of his. Now by and unlikely series of event they are now staring opposite each other in a RomCom Emmy wrote.

This Story has all the cozy feels of a small town romance but with fun and sparkle and intrigue of being on a movie set.

This book relies heavily on the Miscommunication troupe and while I could believe most of it, it did get a tad frustrating. It did not however deter me from loving Falon’s writing style which is like a warm hug for my brain.

This is an entertaining, sweet and medium spicy, Hollywood romance with with give you all the feels and warm fuzzies!

Thank you Falon Ballard, Penguin group Putnam and Netgalley for the advanced copy all opinions are my own.

If Falon Ballard isn’t on your auto-buy list, she should be! I’m a sucker for a good enemies-to-lovers romance, and this one hit all the marks. I immediately fell in love with Emmy and loved the tension between her and Grayson. I’m not always a huge fan of “celebrity” romances, but I think the small-town setting helped me to connect more with the characters.

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

Fun and adorable! Perfect for those who love the forced proximity trope, cozy settings and Hollywood romance. I’ve been a fan of Ballard ever since reading her first book, so I’m excited whenever I see something new from her. It was sweet and sentimental, I enjoyed the characters genuine conversations and their sizzling chemistry. Would recommend!

If you hear incessant fangirling about a mile away, it's most definitely me freaking out over this beautiful book! I am so blown away by this book - I quite literally DEVOURED it in a day. Grayson and Emmy are so perfect for each other & so simultaneously stubborn - all the makings of a perfect rom-com<3

I've got to say though, this book was on a one-way train straight to my 5 star reads, but alas, the dreaded third-act-breakup reared its head around the corner ._.
Aside from this, I truly and genuinely really enjoyed myself and cannot wait for this book to make its way into the world on February 27th!

"And if I may pull out some Hallmark card wisdom, the only way you can fail at love is by not letting it into your life."<3333333

This is my first Falon Ballard book and I can genuinely say that I will now be headed down a Falon-rabbit-hole for the forseeable future.
It’s Falon’s world & we’re just living in it!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this arc.

Super cute book, super fun premise. Emmy and Grayson have some exceptional chemistry, witty banter, and an enemies to friendly with benefits to lover's situation going on. Emmy and grayson used to like each other as teenagers when things go wrong and Emmy decides to not like him ever again, until unexpectedly they are thrown together to act in a romantic comedy movie together. Their on-screen chemistry is lacking until they have the bright idea to sleep with each other and their relationship progresses from there. I did really enjoy this book, but, my one complaint is there is a third act breakup that could have been avoided with some simple communication. Otherwise I recommend this book and I have not read anything else by this author yet but I am planning on it after this!

Thanks to Netgalley & PENGUIN GROUP- Putnam for the E-ARC! This was so cute! I really enjoyed the characters & the setting. Will read more from this author.

Celebrity romance, enemies to lovers trope with Hallmark movie vibes. The miscommunication bit was not it for me. Overall 3 stars

Super sweet and sexy, hollywood rom com with a great female mc - i smiled through this whole thing, very easy to read and love the characters and the world.
Thanks to the author, the publisher and Net galley for the ARC

This story is sweet, sexy, humorous, and full of a cast of amazing characters. From the actors to the inn owner, you will fall for every person in this story.

First, I want to thank NetGalley for the ARC! I feel so honored to read and review this book!

I rated it 4 stars…let’s get into it!

This was my first book by Fallon Ballard, and oh my, I ate this up! It had enemies to lovers, Hollywood meets small town romance, and lovable main and side characters. I absolutely adored this book.

Emmy is a Hollywood nepo baby who had her debut acting start when she was 15 years old. After an on screen kiss went wrong, and rumors soared, she and her then co star parted in not so good ways. She then decided to write movies rather than act in them.

15 years later she writes a new romcom, and is talked into the leading role. She gets all settled in on site and runs into none other, than Grayson, her nemesis from her first acting gig.

Emmy and Grayson have to find a way to act and make their movie together, even though it’s the last they want to do.

What I felt was a fluffy romance, turned into one full of emotion toward the end. I didn’t expect or anticipate to feel the feelings and emotions so deeply.

I loved the fact that there were gossip rag articles & social media threads throughout the book since both characters are so well known in the industry.

This book was fun, happy, sweet, humorous, swoony, and emotional at times. I loved it and I highly recommend!

It was fine. Not really for me I think. I didn't like the dynamic between the two MCs and that really impacted the whole storyline for me.

Loved it! Forced proximity is one of my favourite ways to see a relationship develop and it’s done so well here. The miscommunication was strong with these two and I was okay with it for the most part 😂

Thank you to the publisher for my ARC

This book was such a cute second chance romance. Emmy and Grayson had the best dynamic with each other. I loved how they started hating each other and then began to form a relationship. I also loved the news articles and gossip blogs that appeared in between chapters. This one was sweet, hilarious, and fast paced.

A cute Hollywood love story with an interesting premise. Yes, it’s a second chance romance, but many years delayed. It’s also friends to enemies to lovers. Also even employed the one bed trope in an unexpected way! The main characters are well-developed, as are their family and friends. Good depth, and fun writing. In keeping with the Hollywood theme, this was part Hallmark and part Cinemax, and all pretty good. The third act conflict felt a little forced and definitely avoidable, but still finished with the expected and happy ending.

I will definitely continue to read the author’s work.

*I was honored to read an ARC of this book via NetGalley and the author/publisher. All opinions are my own.*

I ADORED this book.

First of all, enemies to lovers is my jam so I knew from the start it was going to be great with the banter and tension. However, I did not expect to fall in love with the characters and the depth of them that Ballard created.

Emmy and Grayson are such a good pair.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
