  BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Creative Types - Book Three by Joanna Chambers & Sally Malcolm Release Date: September 28, 2023 Narrator: Simon Goldhill Audio Release Date: July 19, 2024 Review Joanna & Sally give us a highly entertaining story in Best Supporting Actor. It’s got some drama (and not just the one they are acting in), some hurt/comfort, some laughs, and plenty of love. And the audiobook is skillfully done by Simon Goldhill. Jay and Tag come from opposite sides of the track. Tag comes from a working-class family, and he works hard to pay the bills while chasing his dream of acting. At the same time, Jay comes from a family of money and fame.  It’s a classic situation of two men caught up in their own feelings and baggage and being unable to see the other person for who they actually are. Tag especially struggles to see past his prejudices and desire to achieve his dreams. But damn they are fire and completely sweet once they put the work in and truly let down thei...

  HOME GROWN TALENT Creative Types - Book Two by Joanna Chambers & Sally Malcolm Release Date: August 25, 2022 Narrator: Simon Goldhill Audio Release Date: March 20, 2024 Review A fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable audiobook. Sharp, witty, and flirtatious.  Joanna & Sally’s writing styles are perfectly suited to narration, and believe me, narrator Simon Goldhill is absolutely wonderful.  English charm, a gorgeous gardener and a young model trying to make his career. Things are about to get messy, and not just from digging in the ground. It doesn’t take long to see how great these two would be together, and how horribly things could go wrong! Social media and the TV industry can be toxic and with every hashtag and selfie, with every manager and TV producer, more and more of yourself is given over to others, and that can be a scary place. Especially if you are a salt-of-the-earth type who barely knows what a hashtag is.  I’m always a big fan of stories where th...

  TOTAL CREATIVE CONTROL Creative Types #1 - Book One by Joanna Chambers & Sally Malcolm Release Date: October 28, 2021 Audio Release Date: February 27, 2023 Review A classic and praise-worthy rom-com with a fantastic grumpy / sunshine duo. It was a terrific combination of all the best bits of romance. An adorable and funny PA working for a demanding boss, some forced proximity, an eccentric enemy who gets his comeuppance, and a really lovely connection. They have a delicious amount of tension and a whole lot of pinning. It has so many layers, their pasts and that trauma, narratives around fanfic and TV show adaptations for the American market. Not to mention the discussion around LGBTQ representation in TV. Aaron and Lewis have in many ways been in a relationship for a while now, they just didn’t know it. Building trust, sharing their lives and understanding each other on such a deep level. They accept each other's flaws and quirks. But they also make each other better. But ge...

  Audio Tour & Giveaway: Total Creative Control By Joanna Chambers & Sally Malcolm Narrated by Simon Goldhill Creative Types, Book 1 Sunshine PA, meet Grumpy Boss... When fanfic writer Aaron Page landed a temp job with the creator of hit TV show,  Leeches , it was only meant to last a week. Three years later, Aaron’s still there... It could be because he loves the creative challenge. It could be because he’s a huge  Leeches  fanboy. It’s definitely  not  because of Lewis Hunter, his extremely demanding, staggeringly rude...and breathtakingly gorgeous boss. Is it? Lewis Hunter grew up the hard way and fought for everything he’s got. His priority is the show, and personal relationships come a distant second. Besides, who needs romance when you have a steady stream of hot men hopping in and out of your bed? His only meaningful relationship is with Aaron, his chief confidante and indispensable assistant. And no matter how appealing he finds Aaron’s cute...
