4.5 out of 5 Stars
Thank you to Shannon at Reads & Reels Book Tours for this opportunity!
I thought this review would be a perfect one to post for Valentine’s Day!
Synopsis
He might be the sexiest man in London, according to his fan site (which he definitely writes himself), but he’s also the most arrogant man she’s ever met.
She might have the longest legs he’s ever seen, but she also has the sharpest tongue.
For years, rival TV presenters Sabrina Carlton and Nick Davenport have traded barbs on their respective shows. The public can’t get enough of their feud, but after Nick airs Sabrina’s family scandals to all of Britain, the gloves are off. They can barely be in the same room together—but these longtime enemies are about to become the unlikeliest of cohosts.
With their reputations on the rocks, Sabrina and Nick have one last chance to save their careers. If they can resurrect a sinking morning show, they’ll still have a future in television. But with ratings at an all-time low and a Christmas Eve deadline to win back the nation’s favor, the clock is ticking—and someone on their staff doesn’t want them to succeed.
Small mishaps on set start adding up, and Sabrina and Nick find themselves—quelle horreur—working together to hunt down the saboteur…and discovering they might have more in common than they thought. When a fiery encounter is caught on camera, the public is convinced that the reluctant co-hosts are secretly lusting after one another.
The public might not be wrong.
Their chemistry has always been explosive, but with hate turning to love, the stakes are rising and everything is on the line. Neither is sure if they can trust these new feelings…or if they’ll still have a job in the New Year.
My Thoughts
SO.CUTE. I’ve already been recommending this one to people in my life… So, that says everything. I couldn’t even wait until I could get my review out to tell people to read it. If you like cozy mysteries? READ THIS. If you like Hate to Love Rom Coms? READ THIS. If you like Brit Coms? READ THIS. Basically, what I’m saying is…. READ THIS.
Written from the alternate perspectives of both Sabrina and Nick this was a really fun read from start to finish. Silly, romantic. steamy and well rounded. A fun mix of “will they/won’t they” and “who dun it?” Which right now, is the best mix I can think of!! A little bit of suspense mixed with a lot of antics was just what the doctor ordered!
I can’t wait to backtrack and read more from this series. If you’re looking for something to curl up with in the cold, or take down to the beach with you, look no further! (As soon as I saw that Lucy liked Pride and Prejudice “Firth Style”, I knew that she was my kind of lady!

Author Bio
Lucy Parker lives in the gorgeous Central Otago region of New Zealand, where she feels lucky every day to look out at mountains, lakes and vineyards. She has a degree in Art History, loves museums and galleries, and doodles unrecognisable flowers when she has writer’s block.
Her interest in romantic fiction began with a pre-teen viewing of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (Firth-style), which prompted her to read the book as well, and the rest was history.

Headliners is Best Served with a Dark N Stormy
Like the Relationship between Nick and Sabrina, this dark N Stormy has a serious nip with an underlying sweetness to it! I went with a truly authentic tasting Ginger Beer (she’s got a delicious bite!) from CanalSide Soda Company! For a real Dark N Stormy try to steer away from typical Ginger ALE if you can.
Ingredients
- 2oz Dark Rum
- 3oz Ginger Beer
- 1/2oz Lime Juice (Optional)
- Lime Wedge for Garnish
Directions
- Fill cocktail shaker with ice
- Add Rum and Lime juice and shake until chilled
- Strain into ice filled glass
- Add ginger beer and stir
- Garnish with lime wedge
- CHEERS!!
You’ve convinced me Nicole! I’m heading to Amazon right now.😊

I don’t know which sounds better — the book or the drink! Thanks Nicole. Congrats to Lucy on this lovely review. (Horsefeathers… why didn’t I buy dark run a moment ago, instead of the other kind… ) Hugs on the wing.
