USA TODAY bestselling author Ella Frank concludes the story of Sean Bailey and Alexander "Xander" Thorne in Headlines. Xander If I had to describe Sean Bailey, it would be as the sexy, caring, wonderful man I’ve gone and fallen in love with. I never could’ve imagined a world where he was my everything. But with each passing day, the connection between us grows stronger, and the idea of a world without him is something I can’t imagine. But Sean’s love doesn’t come without complications. As the older brother of my lifelong best friend, this new love has caused relationships to break down and communication to become stilted, and the one question that remains is: am I willing to give up the love and friendship of one for the chance of love and forever with another? Sean I didn’t mean to fall in love with Alexander Thorne, my brother’s ex and the number one prime-time news anchor in the country. I mean, no one could’ve seen that coming—least of all me. But that’s exactly what happened over these past couple of months: I fell in love. That’d be complicated enough, I suppose, but Xander? Well, he fell in love with me too, and while it’s caused some major upset in the dynamics around here, I have to believe that a love this real can only lead to somewhere amazing. This thing between us started out as a job, a friend helping out a friend. But after playing the role of Xander’s boyfriend, I find myself wanting the job full-time, because neither of us are playing anymore. Headlines is the final book of the Prime Time Series and should only be read after book one, Inside Affair, and book two, Breaking News.

    series overall: 3 stars Basically all of the tension and focus in this third book is because of Bailey: can Sean and Xander be together if it ruins their individual relationships with Bailey? How should they proceed? Etc I can understand how Bailey could be shocked, surprised, maybe even a little bit hurt for a secret being kept (though this was a very short time span)-- but Bailey's dramatics of being *so wounded* by their actions? His being cruel to his own brother and best friend?? This was an absolutely ridiculous and stupid conflict, especially because everyone is a consenting adult in their mid-thirties! All of the convoluted emotional back and forth was very tedious to read, I was very tempted to DNF the book in the first half. Thankfully Xander was a sane adult and spoke his truth to Sean and started to turn the book around. Eventually there is apologizing and resolution, this just read more as a new adult melodrama that was dragged out and unnecessary. Many other reviewers also complain about Bailey being a problem, some have real vitriol for Bailey's character and feel that he is "unrecognizable", which I assume means change from other books? There are also a few complaints that this book has minimal to no plot and therefore was boring, and I agree that this series of three books could have been a duet or even possibly one. I also saw a few complaints regarding Sean's sudden and unexplored newly queer feelings.
