Description

A Broadway actress has a chance at stardom when cast by a major Hollywood director, but the role of her dreams may cost her the love of a lifetime in this epic novel from "one of the finest romance writers of our age." (Entertainment Weekly) For months I stood in the wings, an understudy waiting for my time to shine. I never imagined he would be in the audience that night. Canon Holt. Famous film director. 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 when Canon casts me in a star-studded Harlem Renaissance biopic. 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 and love of a lifetime—cost me everything?

    • WHEWWWWWWWWW!
Format: Kindle
The prose, the characters, the emotion, the feelings, the ups and downs, THE HEARTBEAT of this story is sooooo beautifully written and voiced, kept me up at night, longing for more. I’m not a romance novel type of Lady, but somehow, Madam Kennedy Ryan has me locked ALL the way in. Be prepared to dream, gasp, breathe, sigh, hold your breath, cry, smile and have hope for love that conquers ALL while traveling on this journey. 10 out of 10 recommend REEL. You will never be the same, ... show more

    • Hollywood Romance
Format: Kindle
This story beautifully explores ambition, love, compassion, and the quiet strength it takes to face illness while still daring to dream. The Hollywood backdrop adds glamour and intensity, but at its core, this book is deeply human. The characters feel real — layered, vulnerable, and fiercely driven. Their journey isn’t just about romance; it’s about purpose, sacrifice, resilience, and choosing love even when life makes it complicated. The way Kennedy Ryan handles illness is especially powerful. It’s honest, respectful, and woven into the story with such care. You feel the weight of it, but you also feel the hope. The love in this book isn’t shallow or easy — it’s intentional, mature, and rooted in compassion. And the chemistry? Unmatched. The tension, the longing, the emotional depth — every moment felt earned. Tropes: • Workplace romance • Slow burn • Forbidden love • Hollywood / Film industry setting • Grumpy x Sunshine vibes • Strong, ambitious heroine • Caretaking • Emotional / angsty romance • Found family undertones This book is about chasing dreams while holding onto your heart. It’s about choosing love in the middle of uncertainty. And it’s unforgettable. ... show more

    • 4.5 stars of greatness
Format: Kindle
I loved this book from beginning to end. The characters felt real, the romance was compelling, the emotional beats landed, and the Hollywood backdrop added just the right amount of glamour without overshadowing the story. Kennedy Ryan has a gift for creating layered characters, and I was invested in Neevah and Canon every step of the way. The pacing worked for me, the chemistry worked for me, and the balance between romance, personal growth, and career ambition felt just right. My only reason for not giving this five stars comes down to one small but recurring thing: the dialogue during intimate scenes. As a Black reader, it pulled me out of the story every time Canon used the word “cock.” It didn’t sound natural coming from him, and honestly, it didn’t sound natural coming from either of them. I wish more authors writing modern-day Black American characters would pay attention to how we actually speak. Word choice matters because dialogue is part of characterization, and that particular term felt more like romance-novel language than something I’d expect a contemporary Black man from America to say. It’s a minor critique in the grand scheme of things, but it was enough to keep this from being a perfect read for me. That said, Reel was beautiful, emotional, sexy, and incredibly well-written. I’ll definitely continue the series and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a romance with depth, heart, and unforgettable characters. ❤️📚 ... show more

    • EASILY a 5 star read
Format: Kindle
I stopped reading romance for awhile because I couldn’t find authors that stuck to the genre. Most of the romance was through micro tropes and just fell short for me. But thissssss. This is PURE romance. This is PURE love. I had all the feels reading this. I wish I could rewind time and go read it again.. truly. This was a story that had plenty of laughter, tears, uncertainty, promise, and love. Throughout the book we see both characters battling themselves internally while also fighting for each other. Fighting to keep each other standing. We also see the growth in not only the main characters but the side characters as well. The growth in the sister, mother, and my baby Monk!!! (Can’t waitttt to read Score next!!) but anywho… It’s a raw, emotional romance that sits with you after you read it. There’s no silly games being played and no third-act breakups. Everyone is grown and says what needs to be said. There’s vulnerability throughout the book, even with the pain that comes with it. They kept it Reel… get it…idc I laughed 🤭 Omg and Mama Remy!!! What a touching story. She showed Canon what love was and how to love Neevah through it all. Her and her sunsets…. ~~ “Mama always said waiting for sunsets was like waiting for a miracle you knew would come,” he says, his voice graveled with the emotion in his eyes. “How happy she must be to know I finally found mine.” I actually don’t know what else to say other than you need to pick it up, read it, cry, and smile as soon as you close it. Thank you Mrs. Ryan for giving us such a unique romance and the experience along with it 💚 … oh and I love me some red velvet too 🤭 ... show more

    • I am in awe of Kennedy Ryan
Format: Kindle
The writing is so beautiful, I laughed, I shed some tears, I was scared and I was happy as well. I loved this story of Canon and Neevah, they were perfect for each other, there for each other, weathered the storms of life together and made it out in one piece. I am once again floored by the way this woman writes, there were so many gems in this book. There was black history that I was learning about for the first time. There were stories within the story of Canon and Neevah’s love story, I enjoyed every second of it. I cannot wait to read Score. ... show more

Kennedy Ryan did NOT come to play with Reel. This book absolutely wrecked me in the best possible way. I laughed, cried, swooned, screamed into my pillow, and immediately wanted to reread it the second I finished. Canon Holt and Neevah Saint have officially secured permanent real estate in my heart. What I loved most was that this wasn’t just a romance. It was a story about dreams, sacrifice, art, healing, family, identity, and finding the courage to take up space in a world that doesn’t always make room for you. The chemistry between Canon and Neevah was off-the-charts, but it was the emotional connection that completely undid me. Kennedy Ryan’s writing is on another level. Every page felt cinematic, beautiful, and intentional. I wasn’t just reading the story—I felt like I was living it alongside the characters. The Harlem Renaissance backdrop, the film industry setting, and the depth of every character made this book feel so much bigger than a typical romance. By the end, I was emotionally exhausted, completely satisfied, and already recommending it to everyone I know. Reel isn’t just a romance novel. It’s an experience. ... show more
