    Enjoyment: 3.0Quality: 3.5Characters: 3.5Plot: 3.0

    My first Romantasy & first SJM book.

    This was good, but not great. This had a slow start with a lot of world building, but finally picked up pace towards the end. The ending did have me intrigued on what will come next in the series. I'm going to begin reading book two as that's where everyone says the real magic starts.

    Just for the Cameras (Bay Area Players, #1)

    Just for the Cameras (Bay Area Players, #1)

    Meghan Quinn

    From New York Times bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a sizzling sports romance full of flamingo feathers, slow-burn heat, and one grump-meets-sunshine love story that's anything but fake. They're faking it for the cameras. But what if the sparks are real? Graydon St. John doesn't do drama―or public appearances. The brooding defensive end for the San Francisco Foghorns prefers silence, solitude, and avoiding headlines. But when a league-wide PR scandal forces him into a media stunt at the city zoo, he's suddenly face-to-face with squawking birds, nosy fans, and the zookeeper who seems to hate his guts on sight. Maple Baker loves her flamingos. Loud, pink, messy? Sure. But they're hers. And the last thing she needs is a grumpy football player stomping into her sanctuary with a bad attitude and a bigger ego. Unfortunately, they've been paired for the zoo's new public outreach program, and the cameras are already rolling. The banter is sharp. The tension is electric. And the more they pretend to play nice for the press, the more their fake flirtation starts to feel like something dangerously real. But when family secrets, viral fame, and a PR romance gone off-script threaten everything Maple's worked for, Graydon must decide if he's willing to fight for love―or let it slip away to protect her.

    I love Lucien! Is there more of him throughout the series? Does he get his own story? I hope so!

    How do you pronounce "Rhysand?"

    At first I thought "Rhys" was like 'reese' but then I saw Rhysand, and that feels more like 'Rye-sand' not "reese-and'. Help lol

    Watched the Movie

    This was my first book to screen experience and I get it now...the book was so much better! I enjoyed the movie, the visuals and cinematography were stunning, but I felt there was so much missing, so much depth to their story that didn't make it on screen. I was left underwhelmed and slightly disappointed. Is this how all book to screen adaptations are? Should I have watched the movie first?
