Let's Make a Scene by Laura Wood
"Let's Make a Scene" was the classic enemies to lovers trope with lots of chemistry. but it missed the mark in a few areas. Cynthie is a big actress who has recently been involved in a scandal. To save her reputation and her acting career she agrees to make a sequel of her first big break, A Lady of Quality. The problem is she will be working with her former co-star, Jack, a man she can't stand. From there the two reconnect and sparks begin to fly.
I really liked both characters. Cynthie and Jack were both likable and I enjoyed reading about Jack's family. The book was light and there was solid romance. The premise of them both being actors was an interesting premise for a book. One thing that I did not love was that it alternated between the present and 13 years ago. It was clearly marked but sometimes I would put the book down and then forget whether I was in the present or thirteen years in the past when I picked the book up again. There were also times when the book dragged for me. There just wasn't enough action at times to keep me focused on the page. In fairness I did not read the first book in the series so I might have enjoyed it a little more if I had. Overall, this is a solid romance but it just needs a touch more action for my taste.
