Summary

It’s aspiring actress meeting photographer, femme meeting butch in this light-hearted lesbian romance set in Hollywood.

Aspiring actress Amanda Clark and photographer Michelle Osinski are two women burned by love and not looking to test the fire again. And even if they were, it certainly wouldn’t be with each other. Amanda has never been attracted to a butch woman before, and Michelle personifies the term butch.

Having just landed a role on a hot new TV show, she’s determined to focus on her career and doesn’t need any complications in her life. After a turbulent breakup with her starlet ex, Michelle swore she would never get involved with an actress again.

Another high-maintenance woman is the last thing she wants, and her first encounter with Amanda certainly makes her appear the type. But after a date that is not a date and some meddling from Amanda’s grandmother, they both begin to wonder if it’s not time for a departure from their usual dating scripts.

A rehearsal that leads to a date

This is the first book in the series, although I read the second book first.
This book was fantastic, it was romantic, so funny, and I wasn’t expecting it to be.
The story is about Amanda who is an up and coming actress and Michelle who is a professional photographer. I loved the slow pace story, it wasn’t rushed, it was how it should be, they get to know each other slowly.
I think her grandmother was awesome, I am sure everyone would love to have a grandma like hers.
It was from Amanda’s point of view.

The narration was fantastic you could easily tell who was who. And the narration added to the story.
Jae is a brilliant writer and puts a lot into her stories.

Good story

A good story with engaging characters. A slow burn romance between opposites following a humorous blind date.
Enjoyed the story and the narrator has a good voice and generally easy to listen to although imho her interpretation of Michelle was not good the whole concept that she is not Amanda's type and that she is a "Butch" who is regularly mistaken for a man did not fit with the quite girly voice given by the narrator.

Total waste of my time and money

I have read a few of Jae's books and they're very variable. This was poor. One dimensional characters. Bland plot. No twists. Lots of padding. And the narrator was not enjoyable to listen to. I hated that I spent time and money on this given that Jae has delivered better than this.
