Reel by Kennedy Ryan ~ New Release & Review

"Reel is alive and pulsing like a beating heart.
This romance is a triumph of art and emotion."
--Talia Hibbert, New York Times bestselling author

Reel, an all new epic CONTEMPORARY STANDALONE love story from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kennedy Ryan, is available now!

One moment in the spotlight.

For months I stood by, an understudy waiting in the wings, preparing for my time to shine.
I never imagined he would watch in the audience that night.
Canon Holt.
Famous film director.
Fascinating. Talented. Fine.
Before I could catch my breath, everything changed.
I went from backstage Broadway to center stage Hollywood.
From being unknown, to my name, Neevah Saint, on everyone’s lips.
Canon casts me in a star-studded Harlem Renaissance biopic, catapulting me into another stratosphere.

But stars shine brightest in the dead of night.
Forbidden attraction, scandal and circumstances beyond my control jeopardize my dream.
Could this one shot—the role of a lifetime, the love of a lifetime—cost me everything?

Elizabeth's Review

My rating: 5 of 5 stars - One of the Best


Review Copy Provided by Author


Books like Reel are some of the hardest to review. Not because I didn’t like it ( l loved it) but, because I want to tell you ALL THE THINGS. If I tell you ALL THE THINGS I risk dimming the light that comes from experiencing a book that wraps itself around you and makes walk right along it’s characters as they go through their highs and lows. So, please bear with me…. I’m going to try and tell you why you should be buying this book without giving anything away.

The key cast of Reel is fairly small and I genuinely liked them all. Neevah and Canon are both people I would be proud to hold up to my kids and say “that’s how you do it. That’s hard work and that’s getting it done”

From a story/plot perspective, there is a lot going on here and this is a LONG book. But, Ms Ryan does an excellent job of keeping things moving. Everything here feels necessary to the story and to the growth of the characters and the relationships that take center stage.

Ms Ryan is the queen of meeting where they are and moving them down the emotional road. She took what could have been a typical power imbalance romance and added layers that were both thought provoking and heart string tugging. The one thing left out here was the fate of the movie, Desi Blue. I am hoping that means we will be coming back with some of the wonderful secondary characters to see what happens next.
