Lipstick & Camera Clicks

The Starlit Affections, Book 1

By: D.J. Murphy

Narrated by: Nia Serge

If you told me I'd be on a reality dating show with a man I can't stand while the guy I haven't been able to forget films it all, I'd tell you to kick rocks.

Alas, here I am, pretending to fall in love with a man who'd marry himself if he could all while my TV producer best friend has front seats to it all. It'd be a lot easier if the self-centered bachelor wasn't hot as hell and charming beyond reason when the cameras are rolling. Or if I didn't get heart palpitations every time my best friend looked at me.

Hot, emotionally stunted men and old crushes aside, I've sworn off dating. I know people say that and then they're with someone new next week, but I mean it. Since being betrayed, I'm doing this for me, myself, and I. While the other women compete for love, I'm here to collect a check and gain enough clout to help kick off my career as a makeup artist. If it's between success or moving back in with my nagging mother, I'm not letting men knock me off my game.

I loved it!

This book has everything I'm looking for! I hope the Author keeps up the great work. I'm looking forward to more stories from her. The Narrator for this story was AMAZING. I enjoyed her very much.

Light and cute with some twists

I really enjoyed this book. It was a total escape from the train wreck of reality. I will admit that I was rooting for the one I knew she’s never pick, but I’m looking forward to the next in this series!

Light fun read

It was a fun read overall, but it kind of lost me towards the end since it felt like the FML was dragging things out by not being honest with herself and the guys vying for her attention.

Finished in 2 days great story

I love the diversity among the characters, even though the best friend isn’t the main character, her backstory, and how it affected her brother, her mother and how she sees herself was very detailed. The author definitely didn’t rush the side characters. I love how the reality show doesn’t put the women pit against each other for a man’s approval most of the women weren’t even looking for a relationship with him, but had reasonable reasons why they were on the show. You could still see the humanity with the main characters for the most part. When it came to the romance, I was definitely grinning ear to ear and cheesing throughout the story. I loved how she was able to get to know both men without cutting off an option. But it kind of annoyed me that she couldn’t fully clarify everything in her words to cam.

Well written

I truly enjoyed this book. It was well written the story flowed well and for the most part all the ends were tied up, but I’m definitely hoping there’ll be another book in the series because I have so many unanswered questions and I can’t wait to read what’s next to come
