3.5 stars!!’n

This was very cute read.
Insta love which was adorable, spicy and cute. I can’t really say much more than that. Wasn’t very plot heavy.

I liked the characters a lot, there was lots of chemistry. I loved the dates and them getting to know each other and then exploring their relationship.

If you want a cute romance I would highly recommend!

This was a very sweet read with some really likeable characters and would be perfect for Swifties or anyone else into pop music. The plot was a little disjointed, but there were some parts I really enjoyed such as the pottery workshop. I'm interested to read the second book from Kayla's perspective, as I'm intrigued to see if it follows the same timeline or follows the events after this book ended.

Mein erstes Buch von der Autorin und es hat mich einfach absolut verzaubert.
Die Charaktere sind einfach liebenswert und jederzeit authentisch. Ich habe mit ihnen mitgelacht und mitgeweint, was zeigt, wie gut sie ausgearbeitet sind.

Das Buch bietet eine perfekte Mischung aus Leichtigkeit und tiefen emotionalen Momenten. Es behandelt Themen wie den Umgang mit Ruhm und den Schmerz, den Worte verursachen können, auf eine einfühlsame und nachdenkliche Weise. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich, wie Frost eine Geschichte geschaffen hat, die so zugänglich und herzerwärmend ist, dabei aber
gleichzeitig bedeutungsvoll und tiefgründig bleibt. Es ist eine Geschichte, die zum Nachdenken anregt und dabei das Herz berührt.
Ich kann jedem empfehlen, dieses Buch zu lesen, vor allem wenn man nach einer romantischen und gleichzeitig tiefgründigen Lektüre sucht.
Ich freue mich schon darauf, mehr von ihr zu lesen!

This was such a cute and charming romcom. Our main characters clicked right away which is something I always enjoy. Millie and Luc had the sweetest relationship filled with sweet nothings. I always loved books following celebrities and find them so fascinating. I like how this one shared all different perspectives including some of the negative effects social media and publicity have.

This was such a charming and adorable book! I adored every character and how they interacted with one another!
The two main characters clicked right away, and I really enjoyed that there was no outside love interest. They had the cutest times together, hugging and eating ice cream. It's very sweet to watch how supportive Millie and Luca are of one another in their relationship. It's so nice to read a book where there is genuine communication!

I like the perspective this book offered on celebrity culture. Hailey did a fantastic job of capturing the negative impact of social media on celebs. It might be challenging to humanize the main characters in celebrity romances when they are all wealthy, attractive, and gifted, but I felt the author did a pretty fantastic job of it. Reading about Millie's hardships as a result of people assuming they knew her based only on what they had read or seen on a screen or piece of paper was devastating.
As a swiftie, I can't help but draw comparisons between how Millie was depicted in the media as being somewhat defined by her relationships and how the media overemphasized them; it gives me "Tayvis" vibes.

If you're searching for a fast, humorous, and hot romantic comedy that will have you laughing a lot, I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

This was a lovely, sweet & steamy read about a famous singer and an actor taking part in a charity American Football match.

Sparks fly when Millie and Luca's eyes meet across the field, but after too many scathing headlines and horrible words from hates, Millie hesitates to open her heart to the charming and genuinely good man she cannot forget about. Will they give it their all, and put the paparazzi out of their minds, or will Millie allow her fear to hold her back?

This started sweetly, and the steam built slowly and tantalisingly throughout the book. There were a few places I felt the words didn't fit or didn't match the context, but this didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the story.

This book was amazing and I devoured this book in just a few sittings! I loved the character development and how the story progressed.

Not sure why but I didn't really gel with the characters. I just found them a little shallow and boring. Their love was a little overly sweet, but I guess that should be expected with an insta-love story. This author did an excellent job of showing the mean and nasty side of being a celebrity, and how they can be used by management. I was more invested in the mysterious love lives of the two side characters.

Big thanks to NetGalley, Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op and Hailey Frost for this early release copy in exchange for my honest review

Millie, one-half of the famous pop duo Siren, struggles with the pressures of fame and love. When she meets Luca at a charity event, she feels an instant connection, prompting her to reconsider her fear of relationships. Luca, participating in a charity football match, is immediately captivated by Millie's beauty and voice and is determined to win her heart.

The dual POV narrative highlights Millie's struggle with fame and her fear of public scrutiny. It explores the darker aspects of fame, including the impact of online trolls and social media, making it an emotionally impactful read. Millie's journey to self-assurance, marked by her humor, charm, and sweetness, is inspiring and relatable. The book, with its adorable cover, blends chick-lit elements with a lively and heartwarming narrative. Author’s storytelling, characterized by witty dialogue and heartfelt scenes, creates a captivating and relatable reading experience with just the right amount of spice.

If you are not a fan of instalove (I'm not), then this won't be the book for you. Millie (singer) and Luca (actor) fall for each other pretty quick once they meet from across the room and the book follows the progression of their relationship with a few things that come up (mainly dealing with social media and backlash). It was a cute read, but I learnt that I like drama and this wasn't it for me because the lack of drama made it feel boring at times? From what it seems, there is some inspiration from Taylor Swift and I would have loved to see more of that throughout the book instead of a few instances at the end. Maybe more talk about the internet hate? I think I struggled with the ages of the characters too, they are supposed to be similar to me in age yet I felt VERY disconnected with that. But, if you're looking for a cute romance book then this is totally for you. Thanks NetGalley for the Arc!

I absolutely loved this cute romance story! It's a love at first sight, he falls first romance between a pop star and an actor. It is light-hearted and so sweet, and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Millie is one half of the pop duo The Sirens, and Luca is an A-list actor. When Millie agrees to perform at the half-time show for the VIP Charity Match, she had no idea she'd be meeting the handsome Luca. When Luca first sees Millie, sparks fly! It's love at first sight! Their story is so heart-warming and sweet, and I loved the two as a couple. They both deal with issues that come along with fame, like hate on social media, drama, and internet trolls, but Millie seemed to get the worst of it. It was beautiful to see how they were there for each other throughout it all.
This is a cute cuddly romance, and I am looking forward to seeing how Kayla and Asher get on in the next book!

Thank you NetGalley and Hailey Frost for this beautiful ARC!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3-3.5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️ 3/5
Tropes:
🎤 He falls first
🎤 sunshine x golden retriever
🎤 Actor x Singer
A charity football game = love at first sight ✨
Millie is one half of a popular singing duo and while she is a sweet and fairly put together person, she struggles with the scrutiny of the media. Luca looks like a cinnamon roll and is a cinnamon roll, a sweetheart golden retriever who immediately falls for Millie and is the perfect gentleman.

As a couple they were very cute and it was a nice fluffy ( there is spice) mood read that I got through fairly quickly and enjoyed despite thinking the characters were younger than they were (the way they were acting read younger to me like early twenties)

As a swiftie I cannot help but see parallels between the way the media hyper focused on Millie’s relationships ( seems to be a very prominent issue for some female entertainers) and how she was borderline defined by them in the way the media portrayed her, it’s giving reputation era ✨.

The way Millie and Kayla dealt with the obstacles that were thrown at them seemed very genuine to the characters and I found it very refreshing ( #yeahthegirls)

Overall a nice read with no third act breakup and characters that communicate fairly well throughout the story. A big thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing for the ARC I am eagerly awaiting Kayla’s story.

Thank you to NetGalley, Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op, and Hailey Frost for the opportunity to read a copy of this book. The thoughts and opinions expressed below are honest and my own.

Millie is one-half of the famous Siren's pop duo and she's learned the hard way that love and fame do not mix. She wonders if things could be different when she meets Luca who is a famous actor who's used to the spotlight of being a celebrity.
Luca is an actor who's doing a football match for charity. He hasn't dated in a long time, but his reluctance changes as soon as he sees Millie. Can the two figure out how to be together when the media wants to tear them apart?

I liked that Hailey included a Foreword warning readers about the book's topics like angst, online bullying and how celebrities are treated by the media. I appreciated the content warnings. I love that she included a Playlist at the beginning of the book. (great music selection!)

Luca and Millie were just so sweet! He was the perfect cinnamon roll/golden retriever MMC and I loved that he was referring to Millie as "my future wife" before he'd even really gotten to know her yet. Millie mostly lived up to her nickname *sunshine* even when she was struggling with the downsides of being hated online. He really took the time to get to know her and supported her when the media and her "fans" tore her apart online. I enjoyed the friendship between Millie and Kayla and how they supported one another and had each other's backs. I liked Luca's sister, Summer. She was funny and quirky. I also enjoyed his best friend, and acting buddy, Asher. Their banter was hilarious and had me laughing out loud. I'm really looking forward to the second book in the duology!

Read if you enjoy:
Dual POV
Love at first sight/instant love
Slow burn with tension and spice
Celebrity romance
Golden retriever/Cinnamon Roll MMC
No third act breakup
