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!

Loved this one! The back and forth banter, the spicy scenes, enemies to lovers, and an ending that had you holding your breath.

Emmy Harper, Hollywood's sweetheart, is one of the best romantic comedy writers. After a tragedy strikes and takes several years away, friends and family give her the encouragement she needs to go back to writing her next romcom movie. She has so much to prove entering this world again. With her best friend, Liz, beside her as production manager, casting for the leading lady role doesn't come easy. It's Liz who pushes for Emmy to return to the big screen. After all, she knows this role the best since she wrote the part. Once Emmy finally agrees, the cast is set, and production can begin.

Day one on set doesn't go quite as planned for Emmy. Who she thought was playing her on-screen romantic lover ended up with a last-minute emergency. When the replacement walked in, Emmy was ready to call it quits before filming even started. Grayson West, a hunky blockbuster movie star, enters the room, and the tension immediately takes over the space. After all, it was Grayson that Emmy blamed for ruining her first movie and acting career many moons ago.

Can these two put aside their differences and film the next top romcom movie? Or will the sexy romances on screen carry over into real life?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can always count on Fallon Ballard to deliver a heart felt romance that can leave you squealing!
I loved that it was set in a rom com movie set which added an interesting level of irony to the story. It allowed for a lot of consistent side characters too, many of who were well written and hilarious.
This was a third act break up that I could’ve done without, especially because the book started with so much tension. It was luckily resolved quickly and we moved on to the happy ending quickly.

Nah this book was not for me. I ended up skipping through the last 59 pages or so. The drama or conflict at the end was so annoying and unnecessary. I hate a miscommunication trope. I also am just not into acting at all so this book didn't really interest me in the slightest.

I was initially drawn to this book simply because of the author. Falon Ballard is one of my favorites, as is her book Lease on Love. I was rather giddy for this one - a romcom, a second-chance romance, with a movie element? Totally was excited for it!

However, for me the romance fell flat. There were no sparks, no moments where I felt anything was genuine. The miscommunication at the end really missed the mark for me as well, its not a trope
I'm particularly fond of anyway, but in this book I felt as though it just was really flat and that it went nowhere.

I however absolutely loved the "behind the scene" moments, learning about how a movie is made, the casting, the directing - those were elements that I considered to be done well.

Falon continues to be an auto-buy author for me, and I look forward to her next book!

This one was cute but a bit predictable . Fair warning I had just finished reading another book that had a very similar plot prior to this so it may have made me a little worn out on this storyline. I will say I really enjoyed the characters in this one and thought the third act conflict while had a lot to do with miscommunication was fun but again it has been done before. I’d say if you want a fun cute quick read about enemies to lovers romance this is a fun read but don’t expect anything ground breaking or new. I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

Didn’t love as much as her first two books but still cute. Just wasn’t as obsessed or hooked as I wanted to be if I am honest.

Right on Cue by Falon Ballard was the perfect pick-me-up to get me out of a reading slump. It was a quick and witty read that left me full of emotions.
Falon Ballard, an author I eagerly await for each release. This book surpassed my expectations!
5/5 recommend picking this up for your next read!

I loved this one and will officially read anything by Falon Ballard. I loved the premise, the tropes, and the characters. Highly recommend for fans of contemporary romance.

I couldn’t finish this book. I got halfway through and couldn’t continue. The story is told from the perspective of the female main character, Emmy. She's written a screenplay and is considered a great rom-com screenplay writer. The first movie she ever acted in was a flop and she never acted again because of Grayson her co-star then and her co-star now. She had to star in the movie she wrote and agreed when there was a different male lead. But when she got to the location the director and her best friend told her of the costar change. My issue with this book is that all she does is complain. Every chapter is her complaining and I thought it would slow down as the couple got closer but no it's the same. And since it's told in first person from Emmy, we hear all her internal thoughts and ALL her complaining. I just couldn't take it anymore.

I've read Falon's other two books and loved both of them. Right on Cue was another amazing book by her! I tend to steer away from Hollywood romance, no reason in particular they are just not my favorite romance setting for a book. But this one was pretty good.

If you're a fan of romantic comedies, *Right On Cue* by Falon Ballard is a must-read! Emmy Harper, a talented director, finds herself reluctantly stepping into an acting role for her new movie. To make matters worse, she’s paired with her longtime rival, Grayson West. While I knew this was going to be an enemies-to-lovers story, Emmy's intense dislike for Grayson had me worried they’d never warm up to each other.

At first, I found Emmy’s character a bit hard to like—she’s pretty stubborn and difficult, which did take away from my enjoyment. However, Grayson more than makes up for it. He’s the epitome of sweet and charming, quickly becoming my favorite part of the book. The chemistry between them eventually becomes irresistible.

What really stands out in *Right On Cue* is the mix of beloved romance tropes—enemies-to-lovers, cozy winter cabin, forced proximity, and the classic "he falls first." These elements come together to create a delightful, heartwarming read that I thoroughly enjoyed. If you love a good romcom with a bit of tension and a lot of heart, give this one a try! Four stars from me.

Another cute romcom from Falon Ballard but it missed the mark for me. It’s a quick read yet it still dragged. I didn’t feel the chemistry between Grayson and Emmy and it left a sour taste in my mouth. I just needed more from it.

Right on Cue might be my new favorite book by Falon!

I loved it so much more. The chemistry between Emmy and Grayson was everything! I really liked how the side characters added to the story. I was rooting from Emson the entire time even through their miscommunication snafu.

Thanks to Netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam| G.P. Putnam’s Son for a copy of Right on Cue in exchange of an honest review.

Falon Ballard is a dazzling voice in the romance world. This book is a delight from start to finish, full of tension and a sentimental journey from enemies to lovers for Emmy and Grayson. Falon does not miss!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of Right on Cue
by Falon Ballard

I enjoyed this book, it really starts off as a Hallmark movie.. gone wrong. Emmy is forced to reluctantly returned to acting after an actor when she was younger made her run to behind the scenes writing, who might be her co star? None other then Grayson *Fucking* who she now has to act like she is in love with..

So this is good and I liked it for the most part but the issue I have is two things. The first is the miscommunication, I hate it and it was so relevant in this story it started getting annoying. The second is the third act breakup which was unnecessary and was all due to miscommunication. Again it was good and it might be me but those two things knocked it down for me.

I love the way Falon writes romance, I am always laughing out loud and so happy when reading her books- and I do love me some Hollywood themes.

"Right on Cue" is about a screenwriter former actress, pushed back into a leading role, opposite the main she cannot stand. (Cue enemies to lovers wooo!) The chemistry and tension are wonderful, but of course they are- it's Falon! Enjoyed it thorougly, Falon has been solidified as an auto-buy author for me.

*Gifted e-book copy via Netgalley/G.P. Putnam's Sons - thank you! All opinions/reviews are my own (I did buy a paperback copy myself, too!)

This story wastes no time getting good. The meet-not-so-cute is fun, Emmy’s personality is funny to listen to and the quaint, isolated setting and the small cast of characters made it so easy to cozy up in to the story. This book is a bit meta in the fact that it absolutely FEELS like a cheesy romcom, and it’s about filming a cheesy romcom. I liked the banter and faux-hate. I loved the enemies to lovers to friends route the story took. Grayson and Emmy are both deeply flawed but easy to love. Even as Emmy lies to herself throughout the story about what exactly she’s feeling, their relationship is sweet and genuine.

Gripes: The animosity is overblown and under-explained (why does Grayson think bombing his scenes with Emmy is a good idea? I needed an explanation). I wanted to scream at their stupidity fairly often, but that’s part of the romcom charm in a way. The third-act miscommunication and breakup is always obnoxious to me, and this was no different. Also, if I had to read the phrase “pine and charcoal scent” one more time, I might have thrown my Kindle.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC to review!
