5 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:
They’re faking it for the cameras. But what if the sparks are real?
Graydon St. John doesn’t do drama―or public appearances. The brooding defensive end for the San Francisco Foghorns prefers silence, solitude, and avoiding headlines. But when a league-wide PR scandal forces him into a media stunt at the city zoo, he’s suddenly face-to-face with squawking birds, nosy fans, and the zookeeper who seems to hate his guts on sight.
Maple Baker loves her flamingos. Loud, pink, messy? Sure. But they’re hers. And the last thing she needs is a grumpy football player stomping into her sanctuary with a bad attitude and a bigger ego. Unfortunately, they’ve been paired for the zoo’s new public outreach program, and the cameras are already rolling.
The banter is sharp. The tension is electric. And the more they pretend to play nice for the press, the more their fake flirtation starts to feel like something dangerously real.
But when family secrets, viral fame, and a PR romance gone off-script threaten everything Maple’s worked for, Graydon must decide if he’s willing to fight for love―or let it slip away to protect her.

REVIEW:
A hilarious and heartwarming sports romantic comedy, Meghan Quinn blends grumpy-sunshine charm with sizzling fake-dating tension in Just For The Cameras. I listened to the full cast audio production and absolutely loved it. It was narrated in duet by Connor Crais and Emma Wilder, who both turned in genuine and authentic performances. Teddy Hamilton, J.F. Harding, Jason Clarke, Stella Hunter and Samantha Brentmoor round out the full cast and elevate the production from engaging and entertaining to something exceptional.
When Graydon, a brooding NFL defensive end facing a PR nightmare, is paired in a fake relationship with Maple, an infectiously cheerful zookeeper with a love for all things flamingo, their wildly opposite personalities clash in the most entertainingly witty ways. Quinn expertly uses their forced proximity while navigating paparazzi, team events, and league mandates to build a delicious slow-burn romance. Every begrudging compromise and staged date amps up the undeniable, spicy chemistry simmering between them.
Told with Quinn’s signature style of laugh-out-loud humor and engaging storytelling, this feel-good, steamy romcom was another winner from Quinn! Just For The Cameras by Meghan Quinn gets five smooches from me!
