Fallon Ballard is a must read author for me. Right on Cue was a fun, light hearted story that definitely got me out of a reading slump. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC!

This is my first Falon Ballard read but it won't be the last.

This did start off a little iffy for me ( I am not a fan of the fake articles/blog posts/interviews right off the bat as I have zero context for the characters yet and it just done't sit right with me) however i was quickly sucked in and finished this in 24 hours. The character growth of both Emmy and Grayson is top tier as is their banter, compassion and grace.

This ticked some personal triggers/emotional boxes for me including the incredible relationship Emmy has with her mom, the closeness with her best friend and the comfort and ease in which Emmy grew close to several side characters.

This wasn't just a simple RomCom for me but an unexpected life lesson in the importance of open communication to avoid misunderstandings, the absolute need to have grace and compassion when mistakes are made and how vital it is to let go of your own pride in order to be happy. It is so easy to want to be right and do it at the detriment of your own happiness.

Both Emmy and Grayson learn these lessons humbly.

Grayson was an exceptionally multi layered character and I absolutely loved everything about him. He had flaws, insecurites and pain but he was also kind, faithful and supportive. As well as sexy and swoony.

This was an incredibly easy read full of heart, romance, friendship and lessons.

Emmy is a screenwriter, acting in a film she wrote. Grayson is a hot film actor who broke her heart when she was a teen acting in their first film together. Now they’re back starring in a rom-com together and neither has gotten over those first feelings.

I loved the chemistry between Emmy and Grayson and couldn’t put this down. I’m typically a fan of rom-coms, but particularly loved this one. I also loved that both characters were committed to working on themselves and identifying their own flaws that held them back in relationships.

Note: I received a free copy and this is my honest review.

Thank you for this book and exchange for my honest review.
I had high hopes for this book based on its description. Unfortunately, I struggled to get into the plot of the story. It just did not capture my interest.

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

This is my second book from Falon Ballard and again am left a happy reader. I am not usually an enemies to lovers fan but the way Emmy and Grayson’s relationship developed and evolved while showing some snippets of their past was perfect. I think it’s easy to draw enemies to lovers out and be repetitive, I did not feel that at all with this read- I loved it!

Emmy Harper doesn't act anymore. She's made a name for herself not only as the daughter of one of Hollywood's A-list couples, but also as a successful rom-com writer. But when the production team can't find the perfect leading lady, Emmy has to step in. To make matters worse, Grayson West has to replace the male lead, and he's the reason Emmy doesn't act anymore. Despite their hostility, tension crackles between the two. Can they find common ground to shoot the movie, and can it become something more?

I have mixed feelings about this one. The relationship ends up being a good match, but the development thereof was not the best. Grayson starts out as a major jerk, and Emmy at least tries to be professional for the sake of the movie, but Grayson gives her nothing to work with, leading to (warranted) frustration. At one point Liz, the other producer, forces them to watch their scenes to see how bad it is. I felt like Emmy was getting blamed too much when she started as the more professional of the two. There also wasn't real resolution to their teenage issues? Beyond this, the ending conflict also seemed to be blamed more on Emmy when both of them were in the wrong. Other than these gripes, I had no issue with the relationship or the plot.

This was definitely spicier than Just My Type and had a lot more character development in my opinion. I really, really liked Emmy, and the side characters were also great without being overly-quirky. I'd give this more of a 3.5 if I could!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review!:)

I haven’t quite enjoyed these as much as Lease on Love, it makes me want to go back and read it to see if I was wrong about my love for that book. Now this is definitely better than Just My Type. I loved the friends with benefits to lovers. I wish we had explored more of their past though when they were teenagers together. There was some of it there, but I few that would have made their new found interest more meaningful.

Also I loved the filming scene of you know what. That really was a great scene and written so well! The tension was perfect!

Easily my favorite author. Beautiful and hilarious book with characters that stick with you. Will be thinking about this one for awhile!

A well constructed enemies to lovers story, but the characters felt about as deep as a puddle. Usually I really enjoy Falon Ballard's work but this one fell flat for me.

This was one of those books that I absolutely sailed through as quickly as I could read it. The chemistry between Emery and Grayson was intense and undeniable.

The story is about Emery Harper that loves to write romantic comedies that make people happy. She is the daughter of Hollywood’s sweethearts, but she really struggles when her father passes away and is unable to write anything in her genre. With heavy grief and sadness, her writing takes on a completely different angle and results in an Oscar-winning movie. Now, she is back again writing a new rom-com movie with her best friend Liz taking the director’s seat, but the project is struggling to find a leading lady. Emery had a short-lived acting career when she was 15 years old because Grayson West told everyone that she was the worst kisser ever. With deadlines and funding at stake for her new project, she reluctantly agrees to step in to the lead role. At the last minute, the lead actor has to back out and the replacement is the heartthrob and action star, Grayson West. Will Emery be able to act opposite of the boy who ruined her acting career and broke her heart as a teenager?

The fire starts right from the first interaction and only gets better after that.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for an advanced digital copy of this book. I cannot wait to check out other titles from this author.

I am big fan of Falon Ballard’s previous books, and immediately requested to read an advance copy of Right on Cue when it became available. I flew through this book just as I have with the author’s previous books. The emotions that Emmy and Grayson experience are universal and make them easily relatable despite their profession as famous actors that few will actually experience. I loved seeing the chemistry between the characters evolve over the course of the book. I would have loved to get some of Grayson’s perspective throughout, but still really enjoyed this book without it.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and Putnam Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I had a great time reading Right on Cue. I was eager to see how Emmy and Grayson's relationship would progress, so I had a hard time putting the book down. My only issue with this novel was the miscommunication trope, even though I truly loved reading it. I was so annoyed by it since I was dying to shake these characters and get them to talk because it was such a big part of the story. Fallon Ballard writes such easy and enjoyable books, and I will definitely be reading more of her works in the future. This book receives a 4 from me overall.
I am grateful for this ARC, which I received from Penguin Group Putnam and net galley.

I have been a fan of Falon Ballard's rom-coms since she first started publishing them. Unfortunately this one just missed the mark. I didn't enjoy the main character at all. I felt like she was very immature and the conflict from the beginning just didn't make sense. All of the characters were surface level as well as the romance. It was I hate you for no reason to automatically in love in days with no real clarity or growth with the characters. I didn't believe it at all and I wasn't rooting for the main characters. If she would have added either character growth, more tension, or even more time with the romance, it would have been a better book. Highly disappointed. Hoping her next release goes back to the beginning of her rom-com days.

2 Stars.

Thank you so much, NetGalley and Penguin Group, for sending me this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I fell in love with Falon Ballard’s writing and storytelling since “Lease on Love,” this book did not disappoint. The plot and characters were phenomenal. However, the miscommunication trope did play a role, so if that’s not your thing, you may not like this book.

If you’re an enemies to lovers and/or second chance romance, then this book is definitely for you. Both characters debuted together when they were teens, but the movie plummeted, and this is Emmy’s (FMC) first time acting in over a decade. I also fell in love with West (MMC) from the beginning. Due to the characters' forced proximity, they must deal with each other, and how the story plays out, I felt it was very natural. The lines were blurred, the walls were broken, and the chemistry was authentic and heartwarming. Lastly, this book was a quick read and gave major Hallmark vibes.

Right on Cue is by far one of the cutest rom-com's I have read this year. It had the perfect amount of sweet, sass, and spice. It was really easy to root for Emmy from the very beginning. I loved Emmy and Grayson's chemistry. Overall a great enemies to lovers, and second chance romance. I can't wait to read more by Falon Ballard!
Thank you Netgalley and Penguin Group Putnam for the ARC!

Right on Cue is such a fun, fast read! I loved the main character, Emmy, who after years of taking a break from being in front of the camera, is convinced to be the leading lady in her newly written RomCom. After some twists and turns, she is dismayed to find herself flat in front of one of her worst fears, being face to face with the man who humiliated her years ago in her acting debut. The new leading man, Grayson, brings unresolved tension, and a lot of sexual sizzle!, to the scene and before long, this enemies to lovers story is steaming up! I loved reading about the behind the scenes world of movie sets, acting and world of celebrity. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a fast, fun and interesting read. Thank you NetGAlley for this advanced digital copy in exchange for my review!

Right on Cue was the perfect, breezy beach read! I love a good rom-com so this was a no brainer for me to pick up. What was really special to me was the fresh idea of having the characters beings actors in a holiday rom-com. Very meta, and the dialogue - so witty.

I’ll be checking out the author’s other books.

I loved Just My Type so I was really looking forward to this one! Fallon Ballard is so good at writing relatable, flawed characters you just love to root for! Enemies to lovers and fake dating are two of my favorite tropes in romance books and they didn’t disappoint here. The two main characters having to act in love for a movie was such a fun twist on the usual “fake dating” trope and I really enjoyed it. They sexual tension was off the charts!

I absolutely loved Falon Ballard's Just My Type, so when I saw the ARC for Right on Cue was available, I knew I had to request it!

Unfortunately, I didn't love this one as much as Just My Type. Although I did enjoy the story and the storytelling, as I read it, I felt like I had read this book before. The plot was predictable, and I wasn't blown away by anything.

I did, however, love the connection between Emmy & Grayson, their banter, and how their relationship played out throughout the story.

It was a quick and easy read, and although it wasn't my favorite, I would still recommend checking it out if you enjoy enemies to lovers/second chance romance tropes!

This was delightful!! I loved the characters and their stories. Definite Gilmore Girl vibes. Really hoping for a sequel!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
