About this listen

Wendy Finegan is a lifelong, self-professed theater nerd. When an unexpected opportunity arises to stage manage a truly awful show featuring a sexy soup maker she has secretly crushed on for years, how can she say no? But there are two rules Wendy absolutely must follow, or else the whole show could fall apart: 1. Never ever set foot onstage, and 2. Do not, under any circumstances, give in to a showmance with this sexy soup man. Rule number one certainly won’t be an issue, but rule number two? Rule number two is going to be a big problem.

This is a fun read, with a quirky cast of characters. The author also narrates, this can sometimes be a disaster but in this case it’s incredible. Erin is an excellent narrator.

Wendy and Duncan!

Erin Mallon never disappoints! Novella's are tricky, trying to tell a whole story in such a short period of time, especially a romance, can go very right or miss the mark. Erin delivered a romance with depth, humor, wacky characters and a completely captivating and entertaining story. As a former theater kid, I instantly connected with Wendy and her love of the theater. While she has loved the theater she has only ever worked in the FOH and with this new opportunity to be a stage manager (for a play that probably shouldn't be produced) she comes back into contact with a hottie from her past. This story had so many humorous and punny moments, amazing restaurants, that made me hungry for soup and cereal. This is a clean romance, but it has all the wonderful romance feelings that I crave and need in romance, that I did not miss the spice. This story is top notch, and when you add in narration by the author Erin Mallon, it elevates everything to the next level. This story brings me so much joy, I know it will be one I listen to again and again. I hope we get more stories about these characters in the future!

I received an ALC of this book and voluntarily give my review.

You can never go wrong with a book by Erin Mallon. It's guaranteed to make you smile and put you in a good mood. This one is hysterically funny, has quirky, lovable characters and SOUP! Who doesn't love soup? Wendy loves the theater, has since she was little. She doesn't like being on stage, so when offered the chance to manage a play for her secret crush, she takes it. But will their attraction to each other end up in a showmance? Wendy is wonderful! A girl after my own heart, she hits the library to take out and read the latest plays! Duncan is sweet, and making soup is just a plus! Mallon brings it all to life with her amazing comedic timing and plays these characters as I am sure she heard them in her mind. This is perfection and a pleasure to listen to.

Get ready to laugh and enjoy!
