Behind the Scenes by Karelia Stetz-Waters

As the book continued, however, those feelings dissipated and it became clear that they were a mutually compatible couple. There were times in this book when I felt like Rose was perfect for Ash, but there wasn’t a lot of effort put in to make sure that Ash was perfect for Rose. From the very first chapter, they had an easy banter that felt real, and hearing the emotions from both of their perspectives only amplified that. Rose and Ash have undeniable chemistry, and the scenes where they’re together crackle with electricity.

Of course, it’s pretty obvious where this is going right from the start. Behind the Scenes is a dual perspective novel following the story of business consultant Rose Josten and filmmaker Ash Stewart as their lives intersect for the first time. My first 2023 ARC of the year definitely set the bar high! Karelia Stetz-Waters’ latest happy ending lesbian romance, Behind the Scenes, was an absolute delight from start to finish. or setting the stage for disaster?ĭisclaimer: I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review Now if they can just keep their attraction under wraps, Ash’s lost dream could finally come true.

Still, life is good, with her work, her sisters, and a secret hobby creating incredibly tactile (if surprisingly sexy) mindfulness videos.
