Publisher's summary

Her new job as an on-air reporter in sunny San Diego is a big break for Skyler Ruiz. No more covering small-town softball games or vegetable growing competitions. She’ll be working at the same station as her TV mega-crush and longtime idol, anchorwoman Carolyn McNamara, and that doesn’t hurt either.

Unfortunately, people don’t always live up to expectations.

Skyler’s hopes of impressing Carolyn are dashed when she discovers Carolyn has little time for newbie reporters and is downright unwelcoming. But when Carolyn drops her guard, Skyler is left with her head happily spinning, her heart wide open, and oh-so ready to explore a romance she never saw coming.

So, of course, the network pits them against each other.

It’s only when Skyler is ready to sacrifice everything she’s ever dreamed of for Carolyn does she begin to suspect love is nothing but fake news.

All the Feels in this one!

This is a very well written story with imperfect characters. Melissa Brayden takes you on a wonderful journey of life and love. I fell in love with the characters, both main and supporting. I cheered them on and cried through their losses. This book was definitely worth the credit bought and I could not put it down. Buckle up Buttercup, and enjoy the ride..

thank god

The World is lucky Melissa Brayden discovered her love to write. I am anxiously awaiting the next book. This one was phenomenal. Great store and a twist at the end I truly wasn't expecting.

Also love Melissa Sternenburg. Shes easily one of my favorites to listen too. Hope you two keep working together!!

Fantastic.

Great romance, loved the characters.
interesting setting, and it really feels like Brayden did quite a bit of research to nail the setting.
Sternenberg's narration is impeccable as always,

It's perfectly perfect!

This was different in a good way. It felt like a book that could happen.Work, relationships, love, laughter, fun, tears, and everything in between. It was super cute with two characters that just seemed like two good people that you want good things to happen to. A fantastic ending that summed up their life together perfectly! As always, Melissa's narration is spectacular! A great book!

Good story

I liked this book, it took me few chapters to get into the story, I am not a fan of a first person story any more, but I decided to continue listening as I love Melissa Brayden’s books, so it became a good story.
Narration was good, but there recording not so much, there are some background sounds in some places and they were very high when using earbuds.

Perfect!

What a fantastic listen! Both MCs were extremely likable, adorable even. The story was interesting and engaging, add in witty dialogue and a dog, and it was a perfect book.

Melissa <3

I totally enjoyed Brayden's most recent offering. I'm an age gap fan, and I love banter so there was a lot to love. Watching how the characters navigated the challenges thrown at them, both individually and as a couple was lovely.
