Review of 'And Playing the Role of Herself' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

With this book read, I am officially done with Hollywood lesfic stories for a while. It seems to be a beloved trope, and I get it a bit. Subtext in so many TV shows, etc. so why not portray TV actresses falling in love and having wild sex? But after the third of such books within two months, I am ready for a different take.

Anyhow! Rambling aside, it's a well-written love story from first perspective. Our protagonist is Caidence Harris, an actress on the TV show 9th Precinct, who's into women but hasn't come out yet. Lo and behold, the sexy Robyn does a crossover from her own TV show, and the two of them have sizzling chemistry. But Robyn is a careful of relationships, and far more in the limelight than Caidence is, as she has a high profile relationship with a famous tennis player.

Stuff happens, ladies fight, ladies kiss (and more) and there's a happily ever after. The book's well-written, the sex is tasteful, the chemistry is pretty good, and Caidence is very likeable. If you enjoy the Hollywood trope, you could certainly do worse in the f/f romance department.
