The more I thought about this book after I finished it, the more it annoyed me. The setting is the best part by far. The Downton Abbey-esque plot of the tv show where our characters spend their time was so engaging, it was disappointing when those interludes ended and we returned to the main love triangle. The insights into the making of a soap opera and the actor's relationship to their characters were intriguing. The story has some promise--hardworking heroine has been dating the same man since she was a child, and slowly realizes his flaws and her own power as a woman. But:
The hero refuses to do his job until the heroine (his boss) falls in love with him. He's pretty much the worst employee ever.
The sole sex scene is abbreviated and awkward. The hero withholds sex until the heroine falls in love with him. See a pattern?
The hero is both controlling and passive. I didn't find him particularly appealing although he is from Prince Edward Island and there are several enjoyable Anne of Green Gables references.
I also found the ending very unsatisfying and abrupt. It's told from the point of view of a minor character so you don't really get to see the HEA.
Despite the excellent setting, I would pass on this one.
