About this ebook
Fans of Abby Jimenez and Meryl Wilsner will fall in love with this hilarious and refreshingly authentic novel about second chances, pugs, and finding the perfect muse.
Business consultant Rose Josten might not have officially reached “pug lady” middle age, but she’s already got the pugs—along with their little Gucci coats and trash-lovin’ appetites. Still, life is good, with her work, her sisters, and a secret hobby creating incredibly tactile (and surprisingly sexy) mindfulness videos. So why does it feel like it’s not quite enough? Which is exactly when former filmmaker Ash Stewart enters camera left, and Rose’s world suddenly goes full technicolor.
Ash never looks at anyone. Not since her ex ripped her heart from her chest in Spielberg-esque style, crushing her reputation, dreams, and directorial career in one brutal blow. But Rose is altogether different. She’s curvy, beautiful, and just so damn put together. And her business expertise might be Ash’s best bet for getting her last film—and her last chance—financed.
Now if they can just keep their attraction under wraps, Ash’s lost dream could finally come true. But are they creating movie magic ... or setting the stage for disaster?
“Escapism with no apologies.” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review
“A sweet queer romance between two fully drawn, fully unique characters, with a sexy ASMR subplot I never knew I needed.” ―Anita Kelly, author of Love & Other Disasters

3.5* Behind the Scenes was kind of a slow go for me at first, but I'm glad I powered through. Rose and Ash are the definition of opposites attract. Although Rose isn't quite the buttoned up corporate exec you'd expect. There's a hidden depth to her and being around Ash really showed her that the life she was living wasn't all she wanted it to be. Ash was burned by her last relationship and it's colored everything she's done since. But meeting Rose just might be that push she needs.
