About this listen

Nikki:

I left for Cali the night of my graduation with nothing but a pink boa, a pair of strappy gold heels, and my silver eye shadow from Sally Beauty Supply. I sang for pennies on Hollywood Boulevard in my broke and desperate days. Now at 26, I've got more Grammys than Madonna and a growing empire.

Fame was everything I expected and nothing that I ever wanted. At the end of the day, I'm on my own, with an overbearing manager and security team as my only friends. I made this life, and now I live in it alone.

When a stalker starts following me, and the paparazzi ambush me outside of a nightclub, I'm at my breaking point. That's when Fox Lee appears - out of nowhere - tall and gorgeous with salt-and-pepper hair and a wicked smile.

Fox:

Nikki Rippon is the most fascinating man I've met in years, and I count Robert De Niro as a close friend. I'd like to save Nikki - and savor his cherry pink lips. But I need to keep things cool and professional, even if he's the smartest, funniest, and sexiest man in my contacts list. He's at least a decade too young for me, and he needs legal representation against the hellions taking advantage of him - not a boyfriend.

Contains mature themes.

jarringly out of touch

This was one of the better books in the series. I liked both characters.

But it was VERY annoying to be constantly pulled out of the story by poor editing.

The author made the bad choice of putting a date on Nikki's graduation. He graduated in 1999. He would be been 18 or so. In the story, he's 26. This story could not be set later than 2007 or thereabouts.

there were many jarring inconsistencies.

Phones: the iPhone was released IN 2007. Very few people had smart phones, which are referenced frequently throughout the book. The majority of people in the mid 2000s had flip phones. Also, cameras were usually awful in camera phones.
Airbnb: founded 2008
YouTube: founded 2005, so his fans would not have been following him for very long, and not as long as implied. Barely anyone used YouTube in 2007.
Justin Bieber: released his first EP in 2009. Not early enough for Nikki to have posters of him in 2007.
Bradley Cooper: didn't become a household name until The Hangover in 2009. A client of Fox's for several years? Unlikely.
Facebook: there were 30mil users of Facebook in 2007. That means 3 percent of FBs entire username was following an openly queer artist. In 2007. Yeah, okay.

The worst part is, this could all have been avoided by just...not mentioning a year.

I know this whole series is a fictional utopia where people are fine with gay people in Rural Virginia but author also references actual real people, leading us to believe this is all supposed to be existing in our current timeline/reality. Pick one!!!

What's even more infuriating is the author acknowledged this in the first book. There was deeply entrenched homophobia in Gils book. But gil fixed it, clearly! Everyone went to jail, tra la la, no more hate! Yeah sure.

This author really missed an opportunity to write a 00s period piece. Instead it was the blandest it could possibly be, with vague references to Nikki's gender identity that aren't really followed up on other than in his fashion, where he consistently chooses very traditionally masculine clothes, despite saying he doesn't. Wearing pink does not a GNC person make. Lazy writing.

Did not like the voice acting. Tor Thom was a poor choice for Nikki, I feel. Alexander Cendese, while better on the whole, wouldn't have been a better fit, I don't think.

also continued the annoying tendency to get the characters engaged for no reason after knowing each other for like 3 months. not every book needs to end in a wedding. it's tiresome.

This had so much potential

I love the idea of these characters and this story. It’s just that the book feels like more of a summary with some detailed sections. There needs to be more show than tell.
