About this listen
Lights. Camera. Action....
I've got everything it takes to make it in Tinseltown: confidence, charisma, and a killer chin. Now all I need is a chance.
But Los Angeles is full of hot young hunks, and talent might not be enough to separate me from the cookie-cutter crowd.
Well, you know what they say: Fake it till you make it.
So I devise a wild scheme to get noticed. Pretend I’m someone I'm not—good-bye Will O’Connell of Cincinnati and hello Liam O’Connell of Dublin.
"Liam" and his talent with accents is enough to get my foot in the door, but I never anticipated meeting the woman who has me more worried about keeping my foot out of my mouth.
Enter Raven Locke, the dark-haired bombshell who puts the ‘tude in tattooed.
On set, she’s the costumer tasked with fitting my pants, but all I can think about is how to get into hers.
As my—I mean, Liam’s—budding career begins to heat up, so do our feelings.
While Raven pursues her passion for fashion; I chase her heart.
Our picture-perfect screenplay seems sure to send us riding off onto Sunset Boulevard....
Until Raven finds out that Comedy and Tragedy aren’t the only masks I'm wearing. Our romance might be destined for the cutting-room floor, unless I can salvage our story with a plot twist she won't see coming.
The Chameleon Effect is the debut solo novel written and performed by acclaimed, award-winning romance narrator Joe Arden, with a special guest appearance from Maxine Mitchell.
A secret-identity romance from the man with the secret identity!
This male POV rom-com has it all: lots of heat, plenty of heart, and a Hollywood-worthy HEA.

You created perfection.
This book is every woman's dream and yes it seems it's taken a man to create it 🤣
you hit every situation with perfection, and reacted to difficult situations exactly how you want your man to react.
I listened and didn't get frustrated with any of it... which can often happen, but no... in fact I was fist pumping the air with every word out of Will/Liam's mouth.😜
give yourself a big pat on the back Joe! a job well done!
ladies don't overthink it just buy it 🤣
ps. the 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ is perfect 👌
Oh Joe! Well done you 🙌👏🥰

I literally devoured this book, it's a beautiful and sparkling romantic comedy about a struggling actor trying to follow his dream and catch a break and so tries out a new identity only to have his whole life turn upside down. His career suddenly skyrockets and he meets the woman of his dreams. But now he is too far gone with his little white lie route and he is feeling the anxiety of when exactly will this House of Cards come crumbling down .
Firstly, this story is expertly written and just wickedly funny in places that I was giggling a lot as I was listening. Will/Liam and Raven's love story and chemistry is wonderful and you can clearly see how instantly connected they are. More importantly, they seemed authentic and real. Of course, this being a romance, there are some heated love scenes which DO NOT dissappoint ;) Let's just say I would personally love a videocall to end that way!
Will/Liam is charmingly funny and charismatic with a real passion and dedication to his craft and dreams but at the same time a nagging insecurity that he might never be good enough. Raven is a beautiful powerhouse who knows what she wants and won't let anyone stand in her way. The chemistry between these two is electric!
But outside our two lovers, this book has a menagerie of delightful and vibrant characters which give the book its genuine heart and I love this. My hands down favourite character is the brilliant, sparky and adorable Lexi, Will's 6 yr old Niece. Will's family, including his best friend, give the book an overall sweetness which elevates up this fake it till you make it Hollywood tale into something genuine and sunshine filled.
I have never been drawn to the LA/Hollywood lifestyle or stories set there (I'm from the grey skyed UK afterall) but this book managed to open my eyes to another side of the fame hungry city into a place full of optimistic dreamers. Listening to this book, you also can't help but feel how much Arden is putting of himself into it. Like his character Will, Arden is an actor who is not afraid to be bold and make himself vulnerable in his performances which is what makes him truly remarkable and outstanding in the audio world. His soul bleeds through the earbuds as you listen to this story and there is no greater privilege as a listener then to witness a true artist.
In short, this is a wonderfully romantic, passionate and witty story about reaching for your goals and finding the one who will make your dreams come true. Prepare to be swept away xx
Absolutely fantastic writing debut!
