    About this audiobook

    Coming out is easier when you've got someone by your side. At least that's how the hyper-private Quinn Kincaid sees it. When her publicist suggests a good old-fashioned sham of a Hollywood relationship, Quinn reluctantly agrees. And that's how the star of Jordan's Appeal, TV's highest rated legal drama, ends up with a fake girlfriend-the very real, very sexy, and very gay soap star, Lacey Matthews.

    In Casting Lacey, Elle Spencer gives us a hilarious new take on a classic storyline, complete with nosy mothers, fawning assistants, and two beautiful actresses who might learn about true love. If they don't kill each other first.

      Really good story line. Had its own uniqueness and loved the sarcasm / banter between the main characters. Plus it’s a happy ending.

      My favorite romance so far! Great story, and both women are femmes which is rare in the lesbian romance novels I find here. The narrator is my favorite and the writing is excellent. It was one of my first romance novels I read and it truly spoiled me :)

      Wow!! The story is just amazing! The plot is really good, this fake dating thing is my favorite. The characters are super cool and their development was very prominent. And the narrator is amazing!

      At first, I was thinking how unbelievable the premise is and how it started. But as the story progressed, my interests soars. The banters and conversations between the two were fun and deep. Quinn’s fears were deep and was peeled layer by layer. Lacey’s character is a mixed bag, but it’s also believable given her history.

      I think the voice of Melissa Moran pulled more into the story. Her character vocalizations were great. There were some misses here and there, but it’s alright, because I was already into the story when those happened.

      This book was great! I loved it. Great writing and narrating. Definitely recommend
    • 5/5
      Okay, this story got me. I’m a sucker for an “enemies turned friends turned lovers” kind of story and this one didn’t disappoint. I liked the tension, I enjoyed the story, I got really invented— my heart almost broke there for a little bit. Narrated PERFECTLY, too?? Yeah, check this one out.
    • 5/5
      The back and forth between the MCs can be frustrating at times but I loved it for sure.
    • 5/5
      This is my favorite Spencer book! Even years later I think about it, and the fake relationship is one of my favorite tropes and this book does it so good! This is a book I will reread
    • 5/5
      One of the best. The chemistry the banter the sparks. I wished there were more from this author
    • 2/5
      This romance had real promise - fake dating and a bit of a hate to love setup, which are both my secret vices. The beginning made me hopeful, but unfortunately it became quite clear quite fast that the story wasn't very well written. The one word that best describes this reading experience is 'whiplash'. On multiple occasions the characters went from lovey dovey to banging doors and raging within a single scene and without any outside input, just flipping out because of their own thought patterns. The conflicts were completely made up and mostly based on lack of communication, and everything was overly melodramatic. This book also had too much tell and too little show. I have no idea why this is rated so high on Goodreads.
    • 5/5
      Not your predictable Hollywood romance. “It’s complicated” takes on new meaning in this tale of the pain of coming out, premature loss of parents and significant others, and pressure on actors, even now, to project fake lifestyles. Told with wit and psychological nuance — and with an excellent narrator — despite many up and downs, this lesbian romance ends in warm scenes crafted with author’s signature wry humor.
    • 5/5
      Made me want to listen All the was though… great book.
    • 5/5
      Great character development loved both main characters really enjoyed it
    • 4/5
      Sweet love story just a bit long could have been a little sexier
    • 4/5
      The book was good. Some plot points went along for too long and made me cringe, but overall good.
    • 4/5
      This is the first book I've read by the author, and I'm impressed. Casting Lacey is a page-turner of the classic fake relationship tale. The story is formulaic; however, what makes this book an entertaining read is the steady balance of banter, "fake" flirtations, humor, and angst (2X). I immediately wanted to read more scenes with Lacey and Quinn because their chemistry became evident from their first meeting at a Starbucks. At times they both became a "jumbled-up mess of emotions" making some scenes frustrating to read (all me not the author). My only gripe is that I wish the sex scene was little more steamy. Lacey and Quinn talked a good game throughout the story, but their sex scenes left me wanting.
