5 Star Audio Review ~ Just For The Cameras by Meghan Quinn

BLURB:

From New York Times bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a sizzling sports romance full of flamingo feathers, slow-burn heat, and one grump-meets-sunshine love story that's anything but fake.

They're faking it for the cameras. But what if the sparks are real?

Graydon St. John doesn't do drama―or public appearances. The brooding defensive end for the San Francisco Foghorns prefers silence, solitude, and avoiding headlines. But when a league-wide PR scandal forces him into a media stunt at the city zoo, he's suddenly face-to-face with squawking birds, nosy fans, and the zookeeper who seems to hate his guts on sight.

Maple Baker loves her flamingos. Loud, pink, messy? Sure. But they're hers. And the last thing she needs is a grumpy football player stomping into her sanctuary with a bad attitude and a bigger ego. Unfortunately, they've been paired for the zoo's new public outreach program, and the cameras are already rolling.

The banter is sharp. The tension is electric. And the more they pretend to play nice for the press, the more their fake flirtation starts to feel like something dangerously real.

But when family secrets, viral fame, and a PR romance gone off-script threaten everything Maple's worked for, Graydon must decide if he's willing to fight for love―or let it slip away to protect her.

Review:

Let me first say I have never laughed so much… yes, I have — for every single book Meghan Quinn writes. I can honestly say everyone can picture themselves doing most of the crazy things the characters do! Is Meghan telling on herself?

I loved Maple and her love for flamingos. There were many things she had to put up with to make their lives better and get visitors to the zoo to see and love them as she did. One of those things was the grumpy Graydon St. John with the Foghorns. Graydon had to make the fans fall not only in love with the Foghorns but also with him. He needed the zoo as much as the zoo needed him.

Graydon may be grumpy, but the life he grew up in — and a father like he had — would make anyone question their sanity. He’s a great person, but life has thrown him a major curveball in the worst way, and he’s just trying to make it through. Maple brings something out in him that makes him beam with excitement… even if he has to wash flamingo dishes.

Maple and Graydon’s story is not only funny, but the sub-characters bring excitement from beginning to end. Maple brings out the fire in Graydon in many ways, while also calming the storm in his heart. Graydon brings out the fire hidden in Maple and allows her to let her guard down and learn to trust.

This book had me hooked from the first page. The slow burn, the relationship building, the trust, and the happiness — A+.
