Utterly absurd, utterly filthy, and utterly fun and smart. If you like smut, like really smutty BDSM smut (light on the SM, this is more control than pain, though there is pain), I recommend this absolutely. My only issue was that the 2 men in this throuple are the US President and VP, and while I had some giggles at the thought of Mike Pence kneeling and .... servicing his partners, the thought of POTUS having rough kinky sex, given that the current president is a sociopath and a criminal show more who looks like Foghorn Leghorn, sounds like Curly Howard, and presumably smells like Pepe LePew, well it gets the way of the sexy. show less

Bee (AKA Bianca Von Honey) has a successful career as a plus-size adult film star. She has a huge following and two supportive moms. Bee couldn't ask for anything more. When her favorite producer casts her to star in a Christmas movie for a squeaky clean TV channel, her career is about to take a more family friendly direction. Forced to keep her work as Bianca quiet, Bee quickly learns this is one of those easier said than done tasks. It all becomes worthwhile when she discovers her co-star show more is her childhood crush Nolan Shaw, an ex-boy band member, who is in need of a career rehab. Nolan promised his manager to behave on set, and he will if it means being able to provide for his mom and sister a more stable living situation. Things quickly heat up when Nolan recognizes his new co-star from her ClosedDoors account. Now they are sneaking off for quickies on set and keeping their relationship secret from the Hope Channel's execs. If the two can't keep their off-camera romance behind the scenes, this merry little meet cute might end up on the cutting room floor.
This book sucked me in from the beginning because of the level of insanity that started the whole thing. I mean the porn producer is trying to expand by moving to a Christmas movie on the squeaky clean channel and screws up showing head shots from his porn business to the director! It was great. I mean all levels of comedy are in existence. It was like the best cheesy Hallmark movie with a lot of sexy appeal. I loved every single second of this book. The situations were the perfect amount of funny and ridiculous! It was fun to watch events unfold. You could also really pick up on the attraction between Bee and Nolan and the sexual tension between them was intense.
I loved that the way this book portrayed a plus sized female main character. She was a confident and sexy character who didn't let her size define her. I loved that the authors also didn't make it her sole character trait. It was just a part of the narrative, like her hair color. Nolan was perhaps the sweetest character I have ever seen and his love for his mom and sister was beautiful. The book has some predictable moments because of the cheesy Hallmark vibes, but it is one I could read over and over again. I can't wait to see what comes next from these authors. show less

I am a huge Hallmark Christmas movie fan so I was jacked to read a book that was a play on one of my favorite guilty pleasure. Teddy, a pornography producer decides to "diversify" and wants to produce a clean Christmas romance for the Hope Channel. He makes a new LLC and everything so no one can link him back to his real "business." A few days before shooting is set to take place, disaster occurs. A lot of the production crew and the female lead are out. In a hasty move he fills the slots show more with some porn crew and even casts Bianca von Honey, a plus size porn star as the lead. He is praying to god no one will catch on and the filming will go off without a hitch. Only there is one hitch, the reformed bad boy pop singer, now lead actor on set, knows EXACTLY who "Bee" is, he has subscribed to her content for years. How can they keep this all under wraps?! Sexy, full of positive sex work, and cute. Would definitely read more like this! show less

I thought the idea behind the story was a great one. The subject matter was really refreshing and it was nice seeing a plus sized woman killing it in the sex work industry. However. I am really disappointed in the way our FMC was written to be so... unreasonable.

**Spoiler alert** I really didn't like the way she treated Nolan in the way she didn't want to be treated from day one. As if because he was pretty that meant that he had nothing else going on in his life. Twice in the book, she show more made herself inaccessible to communicate with and then blamed him for not communicating with her. (After the horse, and then after everything leaked.)

Granted, this is a pet peeve of mine. I feel like often in romances, the feelings of the MMC are not taken into account and it bothers me so much. Everyone's feelings are valid and should be supported, not just the FMC. Honestly, I don't even think he acted like a f*boy at all in the book, but I think they were unfairly trying to portray him as one. They mutually decided to keep things quiet and for the same reason. So how is it Nolan's fault that he kept things quiet? show less
