Review: Review copy given to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 

I have had a really difficult time connecting to romance novels in the last few months. They are either too smutty, cringey or just aren’t interesting. I am happy to report that Right On Cue was a five star romance. I previously read and loved Lease on Love by Fallon Ballard and was blown away by it. She knows how to balance real life and whimsical romance. Though I have yet to read her release last year, I can tell her writing and storytelling has grown a lot since Lease on Love. I thoroughly enjoyed these characters, they were realistic and interesting. I enjoyed being on a movie set, navigating second chances and going through the ups and downs that they face together. There were several points in the book that I thought “oh why does it feel like we’ve reached the end and there’s still a lot of book left.” Well, Ballard does a good job of making you think the story is over and then adding layers that make sense. I appreciate that she used intimacy as a connecting factor and not as a method to sell the book. If you like really spicy romances, this isn’t for you. It has its moments but this is really a story about love, second chances and how love can exist even when two people are deeply flawed (as we all are). Fallon Ballard continues to be an auto read author for me. This did not let me down.
