"Poppy Peterson's life is finally back on track and she's thriving as the publicist of the NFL's most promising quarterback (and her childhood best friend), Cash Curran. So, she doesn't appreciate when he makes an impulsive and public pass at America's popstar darling, Lyric Adair. When Lyric's notorious publicist Rosaline Sinclair reaches out, Poppy is ready to face her wrath, but instead learns that Lyric is equally interested. As Cash and Lyric embark on their ill-advised whirlwind romance, Poppy and Rosaline are forced together, each determined to protect their own client from the other. Poppy is frustrated by Rosaline's cool demeanor, while at the same time, as a legend in the industry, she'...s determined to impress her. But, no matter what she does, she can't shake the feeling that Rosaline doesn't like her. That is until one steamy night, when the two women contend with their unexpected feelings and begin a messy romance of their own. But with paparazzi, tabloids, and stalker fans nipping at their heels, Poppy and Rosaline's loyalties will be tested in ways they could never expect"-- Provided by publisher.

Review by Library Journal Review

Poppy Peterson is thriving as the publicist for Cash Curran, her best friend and the NFL's most promising quarterback. When Cash uses social media to announce his interest in pop star Lyric Adair, Poppy panics, fearing he may have evoked the wrath of Lyric's notorious publicist, Rosaline Sinclair. When Rosaline reaches out, Poppy is surprised to hear that Lyric reciprocates Cash's romantic interest. While Cash and Lyric fall in love through a whirlwind romance reminiscent of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's, Poppy and Rosaline must work together to protect their clients. Through every interaction they have, Poppy is convinced that Rosaline doesn't like her or respect her as a publicist, until one steamy encounter changes everything and the two publicists begin their own whirlwind romance. With paparazzi and tabloids around every corner, Poppy and Rosaline have much to overcome to keep both their clients' relationship, and their own, from harm. With two romances for the price of one, readers will be rooting for Lyric and Cash just as much as Poppy and Rosaline. VERDICT Bellefleur (The Devil She Knows) shines in this fun, lighthearted sapphic romance, perfect for readers who enjoy pop culture mixed with their fiction.--Rachel Hedderman
