Love on the Byline by Xio Axelrod

For readers who love competent characters who've mastered the art of pining, Love on the Byline by Xio Axelrod has you covered. Blake Dillon may be a cub reporter on the celebrity gossip beat at the LA Gazette right now, but she dreams of being an investigative journalist like her grandfather one day. So, Blake says yes when her editor assigns her an in-depth interview for a star on the rise with a guarantee that he will consider her new piece on suspected child star exploitation. But she didn't plan to run into Ollie, her ex-friend from college who she always pined for. Turns out Oliver Benjamin is the executive assistant for the subject of Blake's article and the three knew each other in college. Old misunderstandings tangle with new complexities as the three navigate personal feelings in the shadow of a very public job. As Blake continues her interviews, she uncovers levels of corruption inside her own newsroom that will make her rethink the celebrity beat and the celebrity in question entirely. If you are someone who loves a slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance with a high-stakes plotline Love on the Byline may be the perfect book you never knew you needed.

Now let me get this out of the way, I firmly believe Axelrod is an underappreciated talent in the romance world. Her second book is somehow just as good as her first and I cannot see her disappointing me anytime soon. She knows how to craft real characters in the world of celebrity life. From the executive assistant to journalists, to writers, and actors, each character had a real inner life that I bought into immediately. It's not just her world or character building, but her plots that really hook me in. There were layers upon layers of personal and professional stakes that just built into a beautiful sandcastle of stakes I was terrified could crumble at any moment. I cannot recommend Love on the Byline or Xio Axelrod more.

Thank you to Blue Box Press for a reader’s copy for an honest review.
