This was such a fun book to read! I adored the plot; whats not to love about the MCs filming a Christmas movie together!! It adds a lot to their tension, mainly because of the forced proximity! The setting adds a lot to the romance! I love the small town romance aspect, but not just any small town, one of the small towns we see in Hallmark movies! Honestly, the whole book was one (extra) spicy Hallmark movie, and I loved that!
I got a little stressed halfway through just waiting for everything to blow up and cause issues for them, so the middle dragged a bit and was a little slow for me, but overall I loved the book. Bee is an absolute icon and I can’t express how much I loved her representation as a plus size woman and a sex worker. Both MCs are bisexual and I loved that representation too! The side characters also added SO much to the story and I can’t wait to learn more about them in future books. Her costar is Nolan, who is actually a childhood crush of hers - he was in a popular boy band years ago, but now he needs help with his career and money. That’s why he takes on this movie… and unfortunately for Bee, Nolan instantly recognizes who she is, because he’s definitely watched her ✨ spicy ✨ films, AND he has a huge crush on her.This was the perfect balance of everything I love in a spicy romcom and everything i love about cheesy hallmark movies! It had the over the top Christmas setting and names, but with a spicy flare I’ve never seen before in this setting! The characters were absolutely hysterical and I found myself laughing out loud constantly. What am I ending up with recently? Bait and switch. No other way to call it. So let’s go down the bullet points of why this highly anticipated release is landing on the Naughty List - and spoiler alert - it ain't for the pornstar sexytimes! My only other complaint is that they kept referring to Bee’s “suit case full of sex toys” but they NEVER USED THEM and I definitely wish they had lol Now, she’s filming in Christmas Notch, a small town with Christmas trees and festive tunes all year round. d) And speaking of lotion. FOURTEEN mentions of jerking off with gingerbread lotion. Dear Bath and Body Works: It’s Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone’s fault I will never again buy one of your holiday scents.
Murphy and Simone have written a spicy, hilarious contemporary romance whose protagonists have immediate chemistry—Bee and Nolan’s sex scenes are hot enough to melt all the snow in Vermont. VERDICT: An engaging, unputdownable holiday romance that will resonate with readers.
I went into this book completely blind, saw it a few times on tiktok and stuff and I was like alright let’s just read it. When I found out it was about a corn producer (not the main male character) and corn actress doing their first wholesome Christmas movie, I was like okay this is going to be so good and fun if done right. It wasn’t done right lol. Bee’s (corn actress) co-star is Nolan, he’s a fan of Bianca von Honey, her corn name, so he obviously knows her. Again I thought oh this could be fun, it wasn’t. Bee was literally portrayed as the biggest s*x object ever and all Nolan could think about was how h*rny and h*rd he was when he thought of her/was around her. Like as if woman aren’t s*xualized enough already?!?! Bee is so much more than that, I actually liked her personality. Oh and the facts that he kept on calling Bee by her corn name in his head all the time? To me that’s so disrespectful. So yeah no I couldn’t deal with the whole “this woman is a s*xual object only” anymore and I 0/10 recommend this. Cowritten by #1 New York Timesbestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Todaybestselling author Sierra Simone—a steamy plus-size holiday rom-com about an adult film star who is semi-accidentally cast as a lead in a family-friendly Christmas movie, and the former bad-boypop star she falls in love with. The way Nolan is constantly objectifying Bee during his inner dialogue made me want to punch him in the face. Yes, she's the film star you've been masturbating to for the last 6 years, but she's more than her body, you disgusting POS.
Great Deal
