Unfortunately I think Fallon Ballard is not for me. Her books just lack a spark that I love in romance, and her characters calla a little flat. Hard to root for them.
I enjoyed this book. It ended up being an enjoyable read overall but I didn’t find myself flying through it. I didn’t love the use of the miscommunication trope but I did like how there were some consequences the lack of communication.
I absolutely loved this book. The way the character development continued to evolve throughout the story was perfect! Once I started reading this book I literally could not put it down (I tried i really did). I can't wait till I can read more from this author
Right on Cue really worked for me! I felt like I was transported into a sexier version of a Hallmark movie and I loved every moment of it! Falon Ballard has a wonderful voice and tone that is easy to engage with and quick to enjoy. This enemy to lovers, movie star romance has the charm of a small town and the excitement of a movie set! Ballard’s characters are interesting and complex, they are complicated and need to work through various misunderstanding and misinterpretations and insecurities. This novel does a lovely job working through both personal and relationship growth with a styles that has a lighthearted and humorous take. This romance is the perfect fall/winter escape that is full of charm, a spattering of humor, and a sizzling sensuality to create a cozy Hollywood romance!
Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for providing me this Digital Advanced Readers Copy of the book!
I really enjoyed this romcom romance. It was both hilarious and entertaining. I love the growth of the main female and just the ups and downs. She goes she goes to struggle on her journey and career. I found the word meet cute to be perfection for the couple, and I also just enjoyed the way they supported one another throughout the book the author really did great with creating the romance between them
As a big fan of Falon Ballard’s books, I’m always excited to dive into her latest release—she’s definitely an auto-buy author for me! This one didn’t disappoint. I really enjoyed the celebrity romance trope, especially with the cozy small-town inn and film set as the backdrop. The setting added so much charm to the story, making it easy to get lost in. The characters had great chemistry, and I was engaged from start to finish. Highly recommend this one to anyone who loves a heartwarming romance with a touch of Hollywood magic!
Emmy Harper, romcom screenwriter ends up taking a role in her newest movie, opposite her worst nightmare, Grayson West. Their past is a rough one, and after 15 years, it’s still as bad. Neither one of them is making filming easy, until they come to an agreement that ends up with them spending a lot more time together.
This book was a very easy read, I finished it in one sitting. The plot was very cute, I adored Falon Ballard’s writing style, and her characters were just so much fun to read about.
Such a cute book! I loved the backstory for these two characters and this book has plenty of steam. I would totally read this book again! 👍👍
Gosh this book was hot! I loved the sexual tension between Grayson Fucking West and Emmy.
Falon Ballard is pretty much an auto buy at this point. Her other book, All I want is You, was wonderful too.
The author is able to take a random situation and make a whole romantic narrative based on two wonderful people. I know that's what authors do (obviously), yet some still don't do it very well, or thoroughly.
Enjoyable till the end (except for when Emmy was annoying and didn't let Grayson explain himself).
4.5 stars for the miscommunication trope ;)
a romcom book about a romcom screenwriter-turned-actress in a romcom movie 😍
this is a fun slow-burn, second chance, enemies to lovers romance with the CLASSIC “let’s get it out of our system” trope we knowwwwww never works. 😏
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this one!
This was not my favorite of Ballard’s, but I still liked it! Loved the premise and storyline. I always love stories on set and this was no exception.
Super cute story! I loved the characters in this book- I wasn’t sure what to expect from this author but after reading this book I will definitely be open to checking out their other works as well!
I adored it. I adore Falon Ballard. I will gladly read anything she writes, even her grocery list.
Right on Cue was the Hollywood, second chance romance I didn't know I needed. I loved the tension; I loved the FMC's internal monologue while shooting scenes. I loved our originally grumpy MMC. I just loved it all.
It was fast-paced; you could feel the tension and build-up surrounding our characters. And, even when that tension is...taken care of, you still feel that emotional tension pulling on our characters. It was just so well written, so entertaining, and I will continue to devour any of her novels - she always writes stories that make me giddy - I am genuinely happy for our characters when things work out.
A fun concept and a cute love story. I’m not a fan of the 3rd act breakup, so that was a little bump in the flow in my opinion. Always feels like an unrealistic “miscommunication” or “misunderstanding” to make those fit and this was no exception. Other than that the characters were robust and realistic and the concept was interesting. The spice was well written also and I loved the dynamic between the characters. I would definitely check out other books by this author and recommend this novel!
This was a fine rom com that grew on me a bit as we went through but the FMC drove me nuts. The “wow is me” saga got annoying really fast once we see she’s so successful she won an Oscar seemingly easily and is also a help baby. I felt that at times this tried to be more serious than it was but it ultimately lacked the necessary substance to make this stand out.
While this was surprisingly more spicy than expected, I just didn’t fall for the love story or really believe I. It. The typical third act breakup felt really forced and quite silly.
Ultimately this was fine but didn’t stand out.
Another sweet, and a bit more spicy, novel from Falon Ballard that reminds me why I enjoy reading her books so much! I loved the celebrity world she set this book and storyline in and the characters were well written. I liked how the character’s past was revealed little by little throughout and their rediscovery of each other in a more mature and later time in life. The tabloids and articles added an extra layer of fun while reading and the chapters occurring during movie scenes and on set made me feel like one the crew along for the ride. I enjoyed this one and can’t wait for Falon’s next book!
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
I loved Falon Ballard’s first two books and I liked Right on Cue. It was fun and full of tension but I wish there was more chemistry between Emmy and Grayson. Thank you Netgalley and G.P. Putnam’s Son for a copy of eARC.
I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.
Ballard’s writing is engaging, with well-drawn characters that feel relatable and authentic. The blend of humor and romance keeps the pace lively, while the exploration of personal growth and creative passion adds depth. Overall, "Right on Cue" is a charming read that perfectly captures the magic of following your dreams while navigating the ups and downs of love. Ideal for fans of rom-coms, this book is sure to leave you feeling uplifted!
