About this listen
'Filled with top-tier tension, sparkling banter and deliciously sweet heat. I couldn't put it down!' Grace Reily
The new steamy queer rom-com from bestselling author, Alexandria Bellefleur - perfect for fans of Ashley Herring Blake, Casey McQuiston and Talia Hibbert.
Poppy Peterson's life is finally back on track and she's thriving as the publicist of the NFL's most promising quarterback (and her childhood best friend), Cash Curran. So, she doesn't appreciate when he makes an impulsive and public pass at America's popstar darling, Lyric Adair. When Lyric's notorious publicist Rosaline Sinclair reaches out, Poppy is ready to face her wrath, but instead learns that Lyric is equally interested.
As Cash and Lyric embark on their ill-advised whirlwind romance, Poppy and Rosaline are forced together, each determined to protect their own client from the other. Poppy is frustrated by Rosaline's cool demeanor, while at the same time, as a legend in the industry, she's determined to impress her. But, no matter what she does, she can't shake the feeling that Rosaline doesn't like her.
That is until one steamy night, when the two women contend with their unexpected feelings and begin a messy romance of their own. But with paparazzi, tabloids, and stalker fans nipping at their heels, Poppy and Rosaline's loyalties will be tested in ways they could never expect.

I really enjoyed the plot, the tension, the characters and the spice! Why did I feel like I got railed by chapter 13!!?? 🥵 I felt like I needed a cold shower and a cigarette after!
It was just so so good! And Lauren Sweet! She did a phenomenal job of bringing these characters to life. The voices she chose for both characters were actually perfect and spot on!
I very highly recommend this book! Especially with the audiobook if you like to listen as well.
