About this listen

She’s a librarian. He’s a movie star. Someone wants them dead.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions.

Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Caught in a high-stakes cliffhanger, it’s up to the leading man and his unlikely love interest to save the day, defeat the bad guys and maybe—just maybe—earn their own happy ending.

Lights. Camera. Run for your life.

Really enjoyed this closed door romance that was also a fun mystery with several plot twists I never saw coming. Throw in some 'accepting yourself' and effects of past trauma elements and you get a fun and thoroughly enjoyable story. Loved the narrators, both of whom were new to me.

This was a whim listen for me and I'm so glad I did. Really enjoyable surprise of a book and fantastic narrations. Engaging, funny and endearing.
I loved both Lana and Griffin. Their interactions feel natural, and the strong chemistry between them doesn’t detract from the story or diminish the depth of their individual characters. They complement each other as a team; their relationship isn’t just superficial—it's a well-developed, earned friendship

Great premise

I loved the way the characters highlighted that a publicised life doesn't make it a blessed one, and that also hiding yourself from the world has it cons too.
The mixture of the romance blooming as well as the thriller of trying to uncover all the clues made for a very thrilling and addictive mix. It was always leaving me hanging on for the next chapter.
I thoroughly recommend this read.
(this should definitely be made into movie or mini series)
