Katie Van Brunt delivers an absolute delight with For the Show, a romance that perfectly blends humor, heart, and sizzling chemistry.

Millie Greer and Ezra Miller are a match made in fake dating heaven. Millie, a former aspiring Broadway star turned erotic audiobook narrator (a career choice that adds an extra layer of spice and hilarity), is a breath of fresh air. She is so smart, self-aware, and struggling with body image in a way that feels incredibly relatable. Ezra, a middle school teacher with a heart of gold, is equally endearing as he juggles family expectations, career stress, and his own romantic misfortunes. Their arrangement starts as a convenient solution to Ezra’s family dilemma, but the slow burn tension, electric banter, and undeniable connection make it impossible to resist falling for them.

Beyond the romance, For the Show shines in its themes of self-love, resilience, and found family. Millie’s journey of reclaiming her confidence and embracing her worth is deeply empowering, while Ezra’s longing for something real beneath the weight of familial pressures makes him so relatable. The banter is top tier, the humor is laugh out loud funny, and the spice? Let’s just say Millie’s job lends itself to some steamy moments.

While it’s part of the All for Love series, this book easily stands on its own, though you’ll likely want to devour the rest after finishing. If you love fake dating, forced proximity, and sweet romance with depth, For the Show is a perfect beach read!
