Scene Partner by Rae Smyth: Review

I really enjoy reading debut authors, especially when they start with fan fiction and tell their stories on websites or social media.

I also love it when big publishing houses take a chance on small independent authors. I know this book will make a splash.

If you’re not afraid of a little erotica and hot topics, this is a romance that might be right up your alley. Check out my review below.

SYNOPSIS:
After a lifetime of sexual frustration, an exceptionally bad day at the garage, and a full box of grocery store wine, Amelia Roarke finds herself entering the last contest she ever expects to win. One that promises the opportunity to feature with the adult film star that’s captivated her since the very first video she saw him in.

As his studio’s front-runner, Cal (known to his viewers as Kyle Rose) has plenty of experience. He takes pride in delivering performances worth subscribing for in content created by women, for women, and he is all charm when he gets his new co-star in front of the cameras. Until the secret she’s been keeping under wraps reveals itself in the middle of their scene and sends him spiraling.

Their time together is incendiary. Cal is certain their chemistry could be life-changing, but Amelia, unable to make sense of his motivations, is less convinced. After all, knowing somebody’s body isn’t the same as knowing what’s in their heart.

Scene Partner by Rae Smyth Review

This author does not hold back in her writing, plus she has created characters who are not what we expect.

Her female lead is a diesel mechanic who deals with sexism every day but loves her job. Off hours, she enjoys watching a certain adult website starring a delicious adult star.

When she has the chance to enter a contest that her friend pushes her into, and she wins, that’s when this story becomes wickedly hot and very entertaining.

The author developed two wonderful characters that work so well together. He’s actually quite reserved and sweet, and he treats her like gold. The instant connection between them is fire; their chemistry is off the charts.

There was one area I was disconnected from, and that was the living arrangements she was in. I did not get why that was a big deal, and it felt weird in the story.

Overall, Smyth dials up the heat and loads us up with fun, understanding, non-judgment, and a story you do not want to put down.

I cannot wait to read more from this author!
