Thank you so much to Julie Murphy, Sierra Simone, Avon Books, Harper Collins & NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review. 

This book will be published on September 20, 2022. 

This has been one of my most anticipated reads for the year ever since the premise of this book was announced.  I mean a plus size female main character and a former boy band member working on a movie?! This was made for Stephanie. 

"I love making people happy and nothing brings more joy than Christmas and titties." 

Porn star Bianca Von Honey is looking to expand her career to what she always wanted - to be an actress. Going by her real name Bee Hobbes, she has the opportunity to star in Hope Channel's holiday film "Duke The Halls" alongside her boy band crush Nolan Shaw. What Bee doesn't know is that Nolan also has a crush on her as he is a loyal subscriber to her Closed Door account. They both needed this project to work as Nolan struggling to remain afloat once his boy band era fizzled and Bee trying to not be cancelled due to her career as a sex worker. 

"I love you in the dark. I love you in the light. I love you everywhere." 

This book was so much fun and had everything that you want in a romance read. I was already a fan of Julie's work but had not yet gotten to read any of Sierra's work yet so I was really excited to read this. She definitely brought allll the spice to life. In today's culture, as fan of public figures we tend to think that we know that said figure. In this book was no exception, 

I am torn in how I feel about Nolan and Bee's relationship. Nolan felt as if he knew Bee and Bee felt like she knew Nolan. I like to think that with all the down time on set and off, they really got to know each other and connect on a deeper level. Sometimes it felt as if they were just living out each other fantasies.  

But I also love that Nolan's feelings for Bee were known right away. I felt that his developed sooner than hers did. Not much further being but just a tad. It also just made me giggle with his time with the trusty gingerbread lotion (iykyk).  I love Bee's relationship with her moms and the friendships she made with those that she has worked with on set. I also love that Bee was not apologetic about her body. She loves it, she embraces it and doesn't let it affect her goals.  I also love that not only was Bee bisexual but Nolan was as well. I feel that the times I see bisexuality represented it is just the female so it was refreshing to have a male mc be bisexual as well. 

This book also shed light on how the treatment sex workers are treated. Bee became the subject to many articles (good and bad) and unwarranted comments. 

I also paired this book with the audio thanks to Harper Collins Audio for a copy of the audio! 
I really love the female narrator, Joy Nash was absolutely perfect for Bee Hobbes. The male narrator Sebastian York, was okay. I think this was more of a me issue because I had a voice in my head of how he was going to sound. Though by the end, I felt that he brought Nolan to life and it was hard to not hear any other kind of voice. 

I really hope that Julie and Sierra continue to work together on future projects. 
I really like the style that they both brought to the book.
