This book was an easy read by an author I hadn't read before. I devoured it in a matter of days. It was sweet with a touch of spice but I'm a sucker for these tropes and really enjoyed it start to finish. I felt it was well paced and a fun, light read. Would definitely recommend!

I have read every Falon Ballard book and didn’t think I could love one more, but then I read Right on Cue, and can say this is my favorite one! A fun read that I couldn’t put down. Thanks NetGalley for the early read!

A cheesy romcom book for everyone to devour in a short period of time.
I ate the first 50% of the book. I enjoyed the filming aspect of the story and how the actors and behind the scenes people work. It was very interesting to read. I believe the sexual relationship of the characters happened a bit too quick for my taste that during the 60-70% mark it started to get dull. Nevertheless, it was an average yet good read for someone in need of quick romcom fix.

Oh I loved this book sooooo much!!!

This was my first Falon Ballard novel, but now I have already gone back and read another (Just My Type, equally fantastic!) because I loved this so much. This novel features Emmy and Grayson, once *almost* teenage lovers now enemies with all the pent up angst you could want. I loved every second of reading about these two characters. It was the perfect amount of slow burn, true relationship building, and then FIREEEE when the time was right! These characters had depth and great backstory, without the story feeling too heavy at any time. I would recommend this to fans on Abby Jimenez and Emily Henry.

I will post my FIVE STAR review on instagram @em.readsalot during the week of publication.

Loved this quick and easy read! Falon Ballard is turning into an author that I have to read all her latest books and Right on Cue is another book I have loved by her!

Full of charm, I was rooting for the main character from the first page and read this book in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down! Right on Cue is full of tropes in the best way possible and had a hallmark charm about it! Not to mention, some fun and steamy scenes! You won’t be disappointed when reaching for Right on Cue!

This is the second book I have read from this author and I liked this one much more than Lease on Love. This is the story of a woman who writes a romance film and ends up starring in it opposite the guy who broke her heart as a teenager. I thought the book was alright! Nothing super memorable about this one, but an easy and fun read.

This one kind of reminded me slightly of Annabelle Monaghan's NORA GOES OFF SCRIPT, and I'm not really mad about it. Really it's just because it's another novel where a screenwriter falls in love with the leading man of her movie, but in this one, Emmy is the daughter of Hollywood royalty, and is trapped starring in her own movie. The leading man is an old rival from her sole attempt at acting. The animosity is still there to the point where they agree to one boink to get it out of their systems. Except it doesn't end there.

Cheesy, predictable, and I'm probably only not terribly excited about it because I'm not in the best headspace for romance right now.

Thanks, NetGalley!

This book and all it's tropes, were right up my alley. It was sweet, with a side of spice. I would've loved to have seen more spice! 🌶️ but the dance was good, not overly cheesy! Great read again Fallon!

I found Right on Cue to be a delightful book filled with humor, romance and insight to what actors and actresses go through while making movies. Falon Ballard captures the feelings of the characters in a way that makes the reader empathize with them. If you enjoy reading light romantic novels I would recommend reading this book.

A very angsty enemies to lovers rom com with great chemistry up u til about the 50% mark. These two rushed into a sexual relationship probably too early in the plot development and it then started to fall very flat.

Emmy Harper has made a name for herself as a successful screenplays writer. Romcoms are her bread and butter but after experiencing a tragedy, Emmy wrote a serious movie that won her an Oscar. After some time to heal, she has come back with an amazing romcom script ready to go, but there's one problem - they can't seem to find the perfect actress to play the heroine. Emmy herself would be perfect for the part but she swore she would never act again, not since Grayson West swiftly destroyed her acting career in her teens.

For me this felt like the right book at the right time. I had been struggling with other books for weeks and mentally could not focus, but the second I started this one I was hooked! It drew me in immediately and I binged it in a matter of 2-3 days. Emmy was at times a bit unlikable but over she did win me over - I think she was the right amount of imperfect, in that you were rooting for her but she also felt like a real person you could disagree with. I love an enemies to lovers book and I was glad how early on we find out why Emmy disliked Grayson so much, though I do think it took too long for them to finally yell at each it. It walked the line of entering miscommunication trope, which is what kept this one from being a full 5 stars for me. Grayson was such a great book boyfriend though! And the spice in this one! Whew! Definitely recommend!

4.5 stars rounded up!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. This story jumps right in and follows a pretty interesting premise. I liked the plot, but had trouble feeling a ton for the characters. This could have been a me problem though.

This was enemies-to-lovers gold with tension, banter, and sweetness galore—plus plenty of steam. I loved the way the characters grew and evolved in their interactions with each other and the introspection that came as a part of that. Really enjoyed — would recommend!

This was my first book from Falon Ballard and I am 100% going to be reading her other ones. I read this book in two days, I couldn't put it down. This book was about two famous people so obviously the plot is going to be fun from the start. It did not disappoint. I am so sad I finished it because I want to read more about Emmy and Grayson!! I love them <3

This story is about Emmy, the daughter of two A-list actors who fell in love. Don't ask me why, but I pictured Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt as her parents LOL. She deals with the loss of her dad and finally gets back into acting after her tragic first attempt, starring in her own rom-com. She was just the most lovable character and I could relate to her so much. She just had this bright energy that translated straight from the pages.

Meet Grayson, hot and lovable action star. He was also part of Emmy's failed first attempt at acting. He steps into the role as the male main character of her rom-com making them CO-STARS... again. Grayson was honestly just a golden retriever. He never failed to make me swoon, even when there was animosity and angst between them. That one scene on set... if you read it, you'll know... BUTTERFLIES everywhere. We love a respectful king.

Anyways, their rough past that led to Emmy's first heartbreak sets the tone for this book. She need to deal with unresolved feelings and work through their past together. They ahave some rough patches, but it is expected with everything that happened. Once they figure it all out, chefs kiss.

The third act saddened me. We all know it'll happen, but I just loved Emmy and Grayson so much I never wanted them to go through heartache. They do, obviously. The third act crisis was so understandable for both of them which made me not dislike any character (sometimes I end up hating one for the rest of the book). I just felt sad for them both :(. Don't worry, we get HEA!!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I wish it were POV from both main characters, but the way it is written works wonderfully with the entire plot. Emmy and Grayson's story is a MUST read.

I wanted to like this book more than I did. Emmy Harper is a nepo baby who had one disastrously acting credit in her teens and then shifted to screenwriting (Sofia Coppola-inspired, obviously). She's written a rom-com, No Reservations, and reluctantly agrees to star in it when the producers can't find another leading lady. Grayson West was her costar on the disastrous movie and, as a break from his usual himbo repertoire, is a last-minute substitute for the leading man in No Reservations. Cue awkwardness.

I love a sharp, witty, warm rom-com. And there's so much material to be mined from actors on set who fall in love in real life. The best parts of the book are rooted in that; the first begin of thaw is the chemistry that Emmy and Grayson have during filming of a love scene. But ultimately, this plot device hinges on either the reader and writer and characters being in on the joke that the movie-within-a-book is a turkey, or it's got to be genuinely good. And all the looks we get at No Reservations (which is confusingly already the name of a romantic movie) make it seem like a Hallmark Christmas movie. Only it's treated as excellent.
There are shadows of three-dimensionality with Emmy and Grayson, but they're never fleshed out more than that. No spoilers, but the third-act breakup involves a miscommunication no one would have if they just talked to each other, which are the most annoying of tropes. I wanted so much more from the book, and it never went there.

I received an ARC from NetGalley. All opinions are obviously my own.

OK, I thought about this for a while, wavering between 4 and 5 stars, but honestly? I really loved these characters. They were complicated and nuanced, and the writing was just as snappy and fun as Fallon Ballard's earlier novels. The premise of an on-screen romance and an off-screen slow-boil conflict was irresistable. I just loved this story, and several days after finishing it, I'm already missing the characters.

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group/Putnam for the ARC! I am just delighted that I read this book -- and I hope you'll all go read it when it comes out next year!

I loved this! This was one of my favorite rom-coms this year! I usually don’t love the enemies to lovers trope but this one had me hooked. It’s actually my first Falcon Ballard read but I’m definitely grabbing her others right now.

Right off the bat we're suppose to believe these people hate each other over something Grayson said 15 years ago when they were teenagers. What he said affected Emmy so much she quit acting... Not only that but when they come together for a new project, Grayson starts to sabotage it. These people are in their 30s.. Their entire story was wishy washy and i didnt root for them, in fact I found them to be immature and annoying. The steam was good but then we had our classic third act break up. I liked "Just my type" so I will give this author another chance. But this was a complete miss for me.

Thank you so much GP Putnam Sons, PRH and NetGalley for the ARC of Right On Cue! I have adored Falon Ballard’s other works and I was so excited to receive this in advance of publishing.

Main characters Emmy and Grayson are the classic enemies to lovers couple and it’s clear with the use of their last names, pet names, quippy arguments and so much more. The two are adorable in this small town romance.

Right On Cue felt totally like a book I should have read around Christmas time, with so many small town scenes that felt like love to me. From ice skating to hot cocoa drinking to a small town inn, my small town romance brain totally ate up the building of the location, snow filled streets and steamy nights at the inn!

I think for me, Right On Cue lacked a major plot moment that really felt like I couldn’t wait to keep reading. I felt like it was thrown in at the last moment and quickly glazed over. In my personal opinion, I would have loved to see this as a dual POV to understand the other side of the conflict too. Personally, I think I would have been more attached to Grayson if I knew what was in his head, the conversations he was happening with his friends or even just what his interpretation was, but this felt very one sided and never had any larger moment around any character but Emmy. I was waiting for something to happen to another character so that there could be that redeeming empathetic moment for her, when I said “okay, she’s out of her head now, I get it.”

This book was 3/5 stars for me, a great weeknight romance read!

Yes!

This was such a cute delightful enemies to lovers rom com.
It was so cute and exactly what I needed.
So freaking cute.
