Do you believe in hate at first sight?

Dixon

If I had to choose one word to describe my new cocky costar, it’d be exasperating. Nikolas Adamos may look like a Greek god—and he certainly struts around like he knows it—but unlike everyone else, I refuse to fall prey to his charms.

Unfortunately for me, Niko and I get paired to do a series of lovey-dovey boyfriend videos for our employers at Elite 8 Studios. And when you film the sort of scenes we do, up close and personal takes on a whole new meaning.

I may have to play nice while the cameras are rolling, but off set, it’s another matter entirely. So what if our chemistry is off the charts? That doesn’t mean a thing. Nor does the tender look in Niko’s eye when we’re together under the lights.

Because I know the truth. Nikolas Adamos revels in riling me up. And even though my pesky friends think I need fireworks after a string of fizzled relationships, I have no doubt if I allow myself to get any closer to my new fake boyfriend, I’ll only end up burned.

Dix is a grumpy/sunshine, one-sided enemies-to-lovers romance with hate at first sight, forced proximity for two costars who work between the sheets, banter and snark galore, plenty of industrial-sized lube, and one very HEA. It’s book 1 in the Elite 8 Studios series, featuring characters that were introduced in Virgin Hearts (Plum Valley Cowboys Book 2), but can be listened to as a standalone.

I've read this story before and loved it, so I was absolutely STOKED when I found out it would be turned into an audiobook and I was not disappointed.
When I saw that it was a single narrator even though it's a dual POV book I got a little worried, because I've seen that go wrong more often than not. But Nick J. Russo did a good job giving both characters their own unique voice, so kudos for that.
I will definitely be coming back to re-listen :)

Most wholesome pornstars I've ever seen

As someone who really enjoys Emmy Sanders’ queer stories, I knew I had to dive into this series. The “porn star” trope was new to me, and I was genuinely curious how it would play out. Surprisingly, it wasn’t at all what I expected—in a good way. I anticipated more smut than plot, but the story focuses far more on the characters and their development.

Dix is a broody, grumpy, soft giant—lonely, fiercely loyal to his friends, and for reasons that aren’t immediately clear, dead set on disliking his new coworker. Enter Nicholas: the cocky, friendly Greek Adonis who falls fast for Dix and showers him with warmth, teasing and pushing him until he finally cracks.

For me, that “finally cracking” took a bit too long; it doesn’t happen until around 78% of the book, and up to that point I struggled to understand Dix’s insta-hate toward Nico. And once they do get together, the ending felt a little rushed. I would’ve loved more time with them as an actual couple before the story shifted into setting up Book 2, Malibu.

Overall, it was an okay read—sweet in places, slow in others—and while I wasn’t fully captivated, Nick J. Russo’s narration was excellent. He brought both MMCs to life beautifully, as he always does.
