About this listen

Never assume….

…That your uber competent personal assistant will get it when you announce your (fake) engagement to him during a live on-air interview with your archnemesis.

Never waver....

…From your plan to punish your arrogant celebrity boss for his presumption by turning your (fake) wedding into a reality competition for event planners.

Never admit....

…That the feelings blossoming between the two of you through seven (fake) engagement celebrations, six (fake) bachelor parties, five (fake) wedding party luncheons, and four (fake) rehearsal dinners are about as (real) you can get.

Camera Shy is a boss/employee, fake-engagement, right-in-front-of-your-nose romantic comedy featuring a former child model-turned-PA who is so done with cameras, a cocky LGBTQ activist/talk show host who does not lose, more scarves than midwinter in Boston, and banter. So. Much. Banter.

E.J. Russell puts her own unique spin on a fake engagement, boss/employee, enemies to lovers romantic comedy. The story is entertaining and it drew me in right from the start, grabbing my attention and captivating it straight to the end. Dustin Fremont, former child star and model, left that part of his life behind him, reinvented himself and became a personal assistant to talk show host, Ari Dimitriou, and he is very good at what he does. He would never mention it, because he knows Ari is a player, but he has a secret crush on him. Before taking the job, Dustin made sure there was a stipulation in his contract that he would never have to appear on camera, it was something he never wanted to do again. He prefers to work behind the scenes and keep his past life exactly that, in the past. Ari Dimitriou is a supporter of LGBTQ rights and he is not happy to have Jesse Sandusky as a guest on the show, they have bonked heads over marriage equality and other things. Ari was told to keep his cool, but when put on the spot he comes up with a fake engagement idea and names Dustin as his fiancé. Dustin was livid, but he is smart, resourceful and quick on his feet, and he puts an idea in motion and the powers to be go with it, a reality show and contest for wedding planners. Ari thought Dustin was a safe choice, but he was so wrong and the man could not see who and what Dustin really was to him until he lost him. This beautifully plotted story is well written with the perfect balance of drama, humor and wit, a touch of angst, heartfelt emotions and a slow burn romance. E.J. Russell, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧And for the wonderful narration, Greg Boudreaux is a superbly talented narrator and a versatile voice artist. He did an amazing job bringing these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who he was portraying, gave each their own unique voice, one that suited that character perfectly and was believable in every role he played. He set the perfect tone for the story, handled the witty back-and-forth dialogue with ease, switched roles effortlessly, never missing a beat. You could hear how much heart he puts in to his performance as he captures all the character’s emotions and projects them into his performance. Boudreaux is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another amazing listen.

This is the first book I've read/listened to from this author that wasn't magical, and I still loved it.

The main two characters, Dustin and Ari, are well written, along with the story.

It kept me amused throughout. Would recommend.

The narration was on point, and Greg Boudreaux does enough voices that you always know which character is talking. I increased the speed, which is typical for me.

I was already curious about this book because I like the topic of fake dating. But the reality TV show was also fun. Now about the characters. Dustin is absolutely adorable and sweet, I loved him. He's strong and he knows how to stand up for himself. Arie I had my difficulties with, as I found him thoroughly arrogant and selfish. Fortunately, he changed for the better. What I also liked very much were the side characters. Maybe we will see one or the other again in a new story. The ending of this slow burning and fun romance without angst also fit very well and I was satisfied.

Greg Boudreaux was brilliant as always and he and brought the story to life. He portrayed the emotions perfectly and did a very lively and varied reading.

Enjoyable story with quite a few laughs, a bit of snark and good story. There are quite a few well known themes in this book, so don't expect anything original. The narration is spot on and the power balance between the two main characters is far more equal then what you'd expect. Both facts that improves this book significantly.

I loved the ebook version of this audiobook, so I wanted to hear how Mr Boudreaux managed Dustin and Ari's story. And he did an amazing job! His beautiful voice and great acting skills were wonderful narrating all the funny situations and hilarious banter between Dustin and Ari, and all the incredible moments they had together. I laughed so much! I also loved the wonderful characters, the heartwarming moments and even the few angsty ones. A great narration of a wonderful book! Loved it!

Great narration!

Another fantastic story by EJ Russell. Dustin and Ari are interesting characters to follow on this journey. Greg Boudreaux did a super job with the narration,

Okay, this was adorable. Russell made a note that this was her first romcom in a couple years, and it was a perfect return! Ari was hard to like in the beginning, but I hung around for Dustin and I'm so glad I did because Ari grew so much and ended up being romantic and perfect. They just had such wonderful chemistry together and I loved their banter, their friendship, and their slow fall into love! My one gripe is it did seem like the feelings were a little rushed at the end, but it still completely worked for me. So many characters I want stories for, I truly hope this becomes a series!

Boudreaux and Russell are just the perfect team. The timing, the humor, it always works so perfect and delivers an amazing audiobook.

Adorable!

Camera Shy is a standalone contemporary romance that I want to see as a movie or TV show immediately. I loved this book so much that I almost didn’t go to bed. I stayed up way to late listening to the audiobook because I couldn’t bear to pause it.

When talk show host Ari makes a huge blunder on live TV, it’s up to his personal assistant Dustin to save the day. That’s the bland summary of this amazing book, but that’s the overview of the plot. What ends up happening is so much more rich and delightful. The banter and interaction between Dustin and Ari is hilarious. My absolute favorite moment is when Ari realizes that he is actually in love with Dustin. What a moment. The drama. The scandal. The heart warming romance mixed with humor and sarcasm. I would love a follow up book – even a novella or short story will do – of these two men. I just want another glimpse into their lives because I love them so much.

The audiobook was narrated by Greg Boudreaux who does an outstanding job, like usual. I love Greg’s voice and he is such a top-class narrator. The performance was entertaining and smooth and all the characters were voiced perfectly. The audiobook production was well done.

An Instant Favorite

This book had so many tropes that I love. Celebrity romance, fake dating, the reality TV show. It was so much fun!
I loved Dustin, I loved how strong he was and how he stood up for himself. And I loved how much Ari grew and changed and became a better person. And the way he protected Dustin was heartwarming.
The secondary characters were also great. I would love to read stories for some of them
And the ending was very satisfying.
The narrator was brilliant and brought the story to life beautifully.

Wonderful book!
