About this listen

From number-one New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely comes a scintillating forbidden romance between a director and his actress, performed by Sebastian York and Ava Erickson!

The first rule of directing is simple: Never fall for your leading lady.

The second? Don’t let it get to you when she stage-kisses another man.

Looks like I’ve already broken both. Now my jealous, possessive heart wants all of her - the ingenue who’s the star of my next show. I’m captivated by her raw talent, her addictive charm, and her desperate need for me.

Soon we’re staying late in the empty theater, our private rehearsals spiraling into forbidden territory.

Exactly where I can’t go. Because then I’d break the most dangerous rule of all.

Don’t give her your heart.

Because how can I be sure that what she feels is real and not a part of the play?

Author’s Note: The Private Rehearsal was previously titled Playing with Her Heart (that version is no longer available). The Private Rehearsal has been significantly revised and updated, and recorded with all-new narration. I hope you enjoy this new edition of one of my first novels!

Recurring characters

I absolutely love that I get to hear about characters from other stories through so many of these stories. Lauren Blakely is an amazing writer, and these readers are amazing through every story I hear them read. Amazing 1000%. The twists the turns the main plots beautiful.

That Voice!😍

I listened to the entire audiobook because of Sebastian York. That voice is everything. I might not have been as interested in the story if it weren't for the stellar narration.

HEA at its best

This is a light and beautiful theatre nerd's dream! Likeable characters and tons of musical theatre references, with a beautiful taboo love story to boot!

A Good Story. Narration was just Ok

After having the experience of listening to duel Narration, it's difficult to go back. The narrators (both of them) are fabulous in their own voices, but when they read in the counterpart's voice, it's a struggles to listen. The voices sound so contrived and unnatural.

🤷🏾‍♀️ well….

Not my favourite. I struggled to finish it. The story felt unreal and too shallow.. or it could just simply be that I didn’t connect with it all. I’ve read many Lauren B’s books but this one is totally forgettable. Sorry.

Meh

As usual the narrators were awesome.

There were times in this story I wanted to forget listening to the rest of this book.
Maybe I’m tired of the same plots.

Jill annoyed me so many times throughout this book. I get the plot they were getting at but I’m tired of women in these lovely romance books that don’t have a backbone. Do you want a man go for it, you don’t want him staying stay away from him. I’m tired of women who flip-flop. They want the guy then they don’t want the guy then they want the guy and then they don’t want the guy. It’s becoming immensely annoying.

Don’t get me wrong the writing was impeccable. But why do romances need to all be the same. I guess people have passed and some of them are not good but why can’t you just fall in love with somebody without having a screwed up past.
