About this listen

Lights, camera…attraction!

When Tag O’Rourke, struggling actor-slash-barista, meets Jay Warren, son of acting royalty, it’s loathing at first sight. Loathing…and lust.

Tag’s dream is to act, but it’s a dream that’s crumbling beneath the weight of student debt and his family’s financial problems. If his career doesn’t take off soon, he’s going to have to get a real job. After all, feeding his family is more important than feeding his soul.

Luckily, Tag’s about to get his big break…

Jay never had to dream about acting; he was always destined to follow in his famous mother’s footsteps. But fame has its price and a traumatic experience early in Jay’s career has left him with paralyzing stage fright, which is why he sticks to the safety of TV work—and avoids relationships with co-stars at all costs.

Unfortunately, Jay’s safe world is about to be rocked…

After an ill-judged yet mind-blowing night together, Jay and Tag part acrimoniously. So it’s a nasty shock when they discover that they’ve been cast in a two-man play that could launch Tag’s career and finally get Jay back onto the stage where he belongs.

Sure, it’s not ideal, but how bad can working with your arch-nemesis be?

All they have to do is survive six weeks rehearsing together and navigate a cast of smarmy festival directors, terrible landladies, and vengeful journalists. Oh, and try not to fall in love before the curtain rises…

Break a leg!

Best Supporting Actor is the third book in Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcolm's Creative Types series, you can read these books as standalones.

These are interesting characters, though at the stary I wasn't really sure how the authors would make a relationship between them work. Once they get to York and start rehearsals for this play though everything changes.

I enjoyed the hurt/comfort aspects of the story as well.

Simon Goldhill delivers a marvelous performance in the audio edition of . I enjoyed all the different voices Goldhill comes up with for this varied cast of characters. He has a very pleasant accent and it really suits this series.

I loved this when I read it with my eyes and now I’ve loved it all over again listening to the wonderful performance by Simon Goldhill.

I really liked how all of my emotions were engaged by the things that happened - some lighthearted and others much more serious. I shed more than a few tears for what Jay was going through near the end of the book.

I loved the encore (epilogue) set four months later. I liked finding out where Jay and Tag were at in their lives at that point.

I’m sorry to see this series end and I hope that these authors collaborate again in the future.

Amazing romantic story!

I loved everything about this! I came in blind, not having read any other books of the series (which I will be rectifying!), so I had no idea what to expect. At first, I did not like Jay at all, and Tag seemed a little immature so I was worried, but once we got some time in each of their heads and understood their motivation I was completely hooked on these two. There's some miscommunication very early on, and sometimes it felt like just waiting for the other shoe to drop, but in the meantime I loved the interactions, the banter, the overall chemistry of it all! There is some light angst near the end, but it all works out in a way that makes sense for these two and what they're going through. Simon Goldhill is a new narrator to me and I thought he was the perfect choice. He brought a ton of emotion to the characters, making me hurt with them and laugh with them and just feel everything.

Loved every moment

Another great story by Joanna Chambers and Sally Malcolm. With superb narration by Simon Goldhill.

Great addition

This series by Chambers and Malcolm is one of my favourites. The first book "Total creative control" is my favourite of all time with this one coming a close second. Tag is my cinnamon bun boy that I love and will defend with my last breath. Jay is a more complicated individual and at first seems haughty and aristocratic. But as we get to know him better we realise the level of damage done to his mental health when he was young and the only cure would be our sunshine boy Tag! The plot is engaging and even if you sort of know what will happen it still takes you by surprise. The writing : impeccable, narration: stunning, do I want another book in this series from these two authors: 1000%!!!

Yet another masterpiece of creative types
