Review
This was such a fun read! I laughed out loud more than once and grinned throughout the majority of it. I loved Juliet and Noah and even though I knew where the drama would come from, when it eventually happened I was still hooked and invested in how they'd resolve it. I liked how patient and kind he was and how funny Juliet's inner monologue was at times. Also, can we normalize sneakers beneath ballgowns, please? I really liked the friends/side characters and felt the entire book was well written. I was a little worried about the amount of literal necking happening but it stayed clean.

"The movie star and the dog groomer are one kiss away from the perfect love story. That's the hiccup in a warm and witty romance by the bestselling author of Roommaid.
The meet-cute award goes to dog groomer Juliet Nolan. It's one of Hollywood's biggest nights when she volunteers as a seat filler and winds up next to movie heartthrob Noah freaking Douglas. Tongue tied and toes curling in her pink Converse, she pretends that she doesn't have a clue who he is. It's the only way to keep from swooning.
She's pretty and unpretentious, loves his dog, and is not a worshipping fan. No way Noah's giving up on her, even if his affectionate pursuit comes with a bump: Juliet has a pathological fear of kissing and the disappointments that follow. What odds does romance have without that momentous, stupendous, once-in-a-lifetime first smooch? Patient, empathetic, and carrying personal burdens of his own, Noah suggests a remedy: they rehearse.
The lessons begin. The guards come down. But there's another hitch they weren't betting on. As for that cue-the-orchestra-and-roll-credits happy ending? It might take more than practice to make it perfect.." - From Amazon
