BREAKING- Lost novel of Bell Epoque Paris, The Throne, comes to the silver screen with an A-list cast. But will on-set drama doom the filming of this gay love story before it starts?Nicholas Madden is one of the best actors of his generation. His personal life is consistently a shambles, but he'll always have his art, and The Throne is going to be his legacy. Then his costar walks off the runway and into rehearsal. The role of a lifetime is about to be sunk by a total amateur. Chris Lavalle is out, gorgeous and totally green. He has thousands of Instagram followers, a string of gorgeous exes and more ad campaigns to his name than one can count. But he's more than just a pretty face, and The Throne is his chance to prove it. If only Nicholas wasn't a belligerent jerk with a chip on his shoulder and a face carved by the gods. Eight weeks of filming, eight weeks of 24, 7 togetherness bring Nicholas and Chris closer than the producers had dared to dream. Chemistry? So very much not a problem. But as The Throne gets set to wrap and real life comes calling, they'll have to rewrite the ending of another love story- their own. Carina Adores is home to romantic love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.

A grumpy/sunshine book that will make you smile!

(3.5 stars) EIGHT WEEKS IN PARIS by S.R. Lane is a cute read with excellent character arcs! It has everything Paris, a movie within a book, the grumpy/sunshine trope, and great side characters. If you are looking for a read that will make you smile, this is your book! I love an excellent grumpy/sunshine trope, but mix it with a forbidden romance, and I am allllll heart eyes. There is one significant rule on the movie set: don’t date co-stars. Nicholas Madden, the grump and one of the generation’s best actors, has no intention of breaking this. Chris Lavalle, the sunshine and green insta-star, has the same intention. But what happens when the movie starts feeling like real-life? Nicholas and Chris had such good energy throughout this book, even though they went through so many obstacles to get to their HEA. Their personalities worked together well and brought a unique dynamic to every scene. I have to talk about the movie within the book. I adored this concept. It was neat to see Nicholas and Chris rehearse and perform scenes in a different era and then work out those feelings in the modern era. Plus, having the film in Paris was a bright spot for me because I love everything to do with that city - the culture, the art, and the food - and it was talked about a lot! Lane has a very flowy and descriptive way of writing. If you aren’t keen on excessive descriptiveness, this may not be the book for you. I enjoyed her expressive way of writing! EIGHT WEEKS IN PARIS is a fun and fantastic grumpy/sunshine queer love book that will make you smile. But be warned, it could make you really hungry for Parisian food, too! Content Warnings: (per the author) please note that Eight Weeks in Paris deals with issues related to homophobia, both external and self-internalized, including forced coming-out.

So good

Thank you NetGalley and Carina Press for giving me this eARC, these opinions are my own. I really enjoyed this book! Nicholas is an award winning actor who has just been given a lead role in a movie adaptation that he has dreamed about for a long time, the only problem is the production cast a newbie to play opposite of him. Chris is a model and Instagram star who’s in his first role. What starts as dislike between the two soon develops into more. Can their connection develop past Nicholas’ reputation as being difficult and the fact that he’s in the closet, or everyone’s doubt that Chris didn’t get the part by sleeping his way onto it? I love the enemies to lovers story! Although I think it’s more people with disdain to friends to lovers! I enjoyed both Chris and Nicholas’ points of view! S.R. Lane can really write about two characters drawn too each other, the connection between the two was so well written! I also enjoyed getting a look at what it might be like to be a closeted well know actor and the homophobia that exists in entertainment! I loved Nicholas’ brooding, anger, bad reputation and Chris’ charming ab sweet self! Eight Weeks in Paris is fantastic and perfect for anyone who enjoys enemies to lovers LGBTQ+ romances! Can’t wait to read it again!
