Thank you so much NetGalley & Alcove Press for allowing to read this ebook!

Love, Camera, Action by Noel Stark will be released in April 22nd 2025. In this sizzling romance, an up-and-coming TV director meets her match in more ways than one. Cali Daniels, a scrappy and determined director, lands the opportunity of a lifetime: directing a steamy episode of a hit TV series. This job could skyrocket her career, but she quickly runs into trouble in the form of Jory Blair, the seasoned and effortlessly sexy director of photography. Jory, rethinking his life after a recent health scare, is protective of his work and not too keen on Cali’s fresh ideas. Their creative clashes spark undeniable chemistry, complicating their professional relationship.

I honestly had difficulty to get into this book as it was told 3rd POV and I do prefer 1st POV. But after the first few pages, I got into it.
As tensions rise on set, so does the heat between them, and the story explores the fine line between competition and collaboration. The dynamics shift when Jory faces pressure to undermine Cali to advance his own ambitions. This book does a fantastic job of balancing the characters' personal growth with the high stakes of their careers. Overall I would recommend to anyone who love a good romance with an engaging plot, sharp dialogue, and sizzling chemistry!

I received this as an ARC ❤️ If you like a very slooooowwwww burn, you'll love the pacing of this book!! It is filled with a lot of backstage information and antics. 4 stars for me, I prefer a way faster pace. Just a personal preference.

If you’re a fan of books set in the Hollywood / film and television world, there’s a lot of entertainment to be found in this book for you. Everything that plays out feels believable and keeps you entertained with all the different antics you might find on a set.

As for the love story, Jory and Cali both are fully fleshed out characters with believable backstories that explain out their reluctance towards making a connection. I really loved all of their interactions in the latter half of the book.

My only qualm with this book is that I had a bit of a hard time sympathizing with Jory’s character towards the beginning, and he really takes his time with doing the right thing in regards to the conflict.

Overall, this was an enjoyable read and I’m excited to see what Noel Stark does next!
