funny, quirky, down-to-earth. loved the sex positivity and mental health rep and the lil THE EX TALK cameo. RLS consistently develops her characters beautifully. overall a sweet rom com that brings the steam too!!

Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon was a romantic romp filled with witty and sarcastic banter. It contains full-on open door spicy sex scenes – buckle up!

I fell in love with the two MCs. Chandler is stuck in the shadows as she ghost writes books for celebrities, and Finn, who lives in the spotlight touring in conventions from his time in a popular werewolf show. (Think Twilight.) The yin and yang between them was spot on. Neither are thrilled by where they’ve landed in life and it’s through their friendship that they begin to find themselves.

I use the term friendship lightly as Chandler is also giving Finn “lessons” for when he’s with other women. This whole concept could’ve gone awry and been ridiculously cheesy, but it did not. It was actually well done with a sex positive theme honed throughout the story.

I really appreciate Solomon’s representation of Jewish characters and normalizing the rituals she brings to light. Also, huge kudos to the narrator (Hathaway Lee) of the audio book – great job.

Grab this one for your beach bag if you want some spice in your reading repertoire.

Enjoyable but when I finished it felt a bit lackluster. Not sure if it’s due to some plot points feeling unresolved or some other reason. Always appreciate the Jewish rep. 3.5 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the eARC.

I started and stopped this one so many times because I couldn’t get into it at first, but I’m so happy to report that I was wrong 🫡 finn is the cutest MMC ever and I will die on this hill from this cinnamon roll of a human being

I absolutely love books about publishing, authors and ghostwriters! I feel like I’m getting an inside scoop on the world of fiction, and seeing the process of ghostwriting in this plot was no different. RLS did a fabulous job with it!!

finn was a golden retriever love interest, genuinely caring about mental health, healthy relationships & improving oneself for others 🥹 I mean, men written by women right?? the OCD rep was so well written too

the slow-burn relationship between the two was a LOT, and even with the teasing, I found it took a little too long to pay off and hold my interest. however, the way that these two communicated with each other so much had me screaming!!! we have to stan healthy relationships!!!!

this only solidifies my fantasy that I will meet a hot actor or actress and live out the rest of my days with them thank you 🫶🏼

thank you times a million to berkley and netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review! sorry it took me so long to read 😅😩🙏🏼

A truly sexy romance that handles mental health sensitively while also being a fun and frothy inside-Hollywood read.

I absolutely adored this book! the sex positivity! the mental health rep! RLS is a favourite author of mine for all of these reasons and she continues to push the envelope. What a fabulous romance!

What a delightful read! I was immediately drawn into the story because of Chandler and loved her growth throughout the book and her relationship with Finn. The build-up to their first night together was so fantastic and then the letdown of the night was described so well. I'm glad Finn took the criticism and was eager to learn from his mistake. All of my favorite books have memorable side characters (best friends, family members, etc.) and this did not disappoint in that aspect!

THIS. WAS. SO. FREAKING. CUTE. I ate this one up like crazy!! I loved the romance from beginning to end. Loved how comfortable they were with each other, esp how comfortable Chandler was about her sexuality. I just absolutely adored everything about it.

This book will go viral instantly. Rachel is phenomenal and I can’t wait for everyone else to experience this book!

I would highly recommend this book. This book does a lot of things well including covering some hard topics in an otherwise lighthearted book.

Oh I just loved this book!!! Rachel Lynn Solomon knows how to write romance that sucks me in and makes me feel like I know the characters. I loved the Jewish rep in this one! I enjoyed the travel and the different places Chandler and Finn got to go. The little insider into ghostwriting was fun to read too. I loved the progression of Chandler and Finn's relationship especially after their awkward first night together!

Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a ghostwriter? Better yet ever wonder what it’s like to end up being the ghostwriter for your worst nightmare one-night stand? Chandler Cohen knows.

I loved the humor of this book as well as the growth both main characters made. Their chance meeting led to bigger things, and the chance to grow together. Solomon’s characters are always quirky and delightful.

Thanks @netgalley and @berkleypub for this advanced reader!

Chandler (a ghostwriter) has a very unsatisfying one night stand, from which she sneaks out of the room of in the night. The next day she is offered a great new writing gig, only to find out that it is with the guy she was with the night before. I think it's kinda fun, because she gets to have the honest and frank conversation with him about the experience that most women dream of. He enlists her to "teach" him after he has some honest self-reflection. What ensues is a great friendship, with benefits. But, what happens when those friendly feelings turn into something more? Very cute, sex positive story with mental health representation. I really enjoyed it, and there are easter eggs for those who have read any of the authors books.

SIGH. Guess I’ll sit here thinking about this book until I get to read the next book Rachel Lynn Solomon writes.

Thank you Berkley and NetGalley for the eARC!

This book was sensational! The portrayal of mental health throughout this story was so well done. The lessons they embarked on were super hot and like actually really informative (maybe give this book to someone who needs these lessons! They might learn a thing or two!). The story overall felt like a big hug because their relationship was so warm and cozy. This is a must read!

Big love for Business or Pleasure! I'm moving this author to my Must Read list. Fresh and interesting romance with believable characters. Thank you NetGalley!

This was such a fun read! I can't wait for more by this author. I would absolutely recommend! If you are looking for a book to get you back into reading. This is it!

I can’t believe this is my first book by this author, I really want to go back and pick up her backlist titles because I adored this book so much.

This book starts with a one-night stand between ghostwriter Chandler Cohen and C-list actor Finn Walsh… but let’s just say, it wasn’t a pleasant experience.

Chandler hopes she never has to see Finn again after that horrible one-night stand, however, she then finds out her next project is writing a memoir for the one and only Finn Walsh. Not only that, but she ends up agreeing to teach him some lessons 😉

Oh my goodness, this book was incredible and spicy. It reminded me of The Kiss Quotient at times, and I adored this book so much. There’s also OCD and anxiety rep, which I think the author wrote so well.

I was grinning left and right with each lesson that was being taught. It’s definitely a steamy romance, but I was not expecting to love it as much as I did. It’s one of the best romances I’ve read in quite a while.

Also, I loved the traveling aspect with them going to different conventions around the country. It was so fun reading about the industry with films and writing books, I just loved how these characters acted towards one another.

I will definitely be thinking about this book for a while. I already plan on rereading it sometime when I just want a fun and swoony romance with such lovable characters. Their journey through the book is heartfelt and root-able. I was filled with emotions after finishing this one.

I would highly recommend picking up this forced proximity, one-night stand, and open-door romance. I was pleasantly surprised by the feelings I had after finishing the book. Let’s just say it was a “pleasuring” experience.

Thank you so much Berkley Romance for the review copies and PRH Audio for the ALC in exchange for my honest review!

Rachel Lynn Solomon delivers another fun, flirty read that delivers excellent characters, a fun situation, and an ultimately satisfying romance. Finn's OCD was deftly handled and the ghostwriting elements were woven in very fluidly.

I listened to BP earlier this week, and you all, I’m obsessed! This is my new favorite RLS (adult) book 👀 granted I love all her books, but still!

Chandler is a ghost writer who happens to have a one night stand with her new client Finn, who she didn’t know was her client until after spending the night with him. Soon the two are off touring the country attending conferences together and Chandler might be helping Finn in ways that aren’t outlined in their contract 🙃

The chemistry between Chandler and Finn is 🔥 like this might be one of the spiciest books I’ve ever read! But it’s also a book about mental health (anxiety and OCD), finding your way, and has great Jewish rep! I loved that both Chandler and Finn were Jewish.

Rachel does a fantastic job at thoughtfully creating lovable, realistic, funny, and quirky characters. This whole book was so fun, and I would love a second book featuring this cast.

I also want to add that the narrator did a phenomenal job giving all the characters voice and personality!
