Behind the Scenes

I mean BRAVO👏🏾👏🏾I absolutely loved Pierre and Logan's love story. Their instant chemistry, but hesitancy might be frustrating to some, but felt authentic to me. They are both dealing with transitions in life and professionally. Logan embarks on her own business choosing to forego the family legacy, while Pierre is finally stepping into his family legacy. Both desiring to stand firmly in their own gifts.Logan really blossoms throughout the book. She finds courage to stand up to her off putting parents and she stands on it, happily embracing the life she has created for herself behind the scenes.Pierre is also blossoming...slowly coming out of his shell, definitely not without struggles. However, seeing this gifted man was flawed added so much depth to this story.This story was beautifully written and I would've loved a little more of them behind the scenes..interacting on set. More times where their chemistry was displayed vs. mentioned. Still a book I would HIGHLY recommend. The original story line and black excellence not to mention fine as$ Pierre had me at hello.

*audiobook* the dynamic duo did a great job on this story. Loved how the two met and eventually ended up working together. I think the author did a good job and explained the film industry really well. This was a good read..

Slower read but worth the after burn. Not her best novel but still a good read. Strong character development and us readers have to patiently wait for the HEA. No instant gratification.

I’m so very happy and pleased with my new book!! Glad to have made this purchase!!

This was a story about patience, love, and overcoming triumphs. P3 and Logan were goals from the start! I also really loved Nubia and Steph I need to go read their story asap!

Add this to your shelf. I’m not quite sure where else to start with Behind the Scenes, but that’s pretty important.When Logan Byers agrees to take on a client as their executive concierge, she doesn’t quite know what she’s getting into. What she doesn’t fathom is that it would be Pierre Perry III, someone with whom she’s made a brief yet memorable acquaintance. Pierre is less convinced that he needs her as his babysitter as he takes on his role as showrunner for a semi-autobiographical short-run series on the WAWG network. What he quickly learns is that Logan is far more than a mere babysitter, as she quickly demonstrates how integral she is to his success both personally and professionally.Pierre and Logan have a lot of similarities – they’re both from prominent families in their respective fields and have the weight of expectation on their shoulders. Logan, of the Byers, comes from an esteemed family of attorneys. She did a stint at the family law firm and has defied everyone by daring to step out of the role that’s been crafted for her. Pierre is the son of two film greats, both now deceased. He’s trying to break the image of a spoiled Hollywood brat who got into too much trouble with too much money, drugs, and alcohol.Their work together is critical to Logan and Pierre breaking beyond what people expect as they step into their own. To that end, they’re both real people with flaws and all. It makes them relatable and I found myself never completing “liking” either. I rolled my eyes at some of their situations, cursed some of their decisions, but also found myself celebrating the wins they had.Despite the “Hollywood” vibe, this is all happening in Las Vegas. Some of CCJ’s memorable characters from show-biz have cameos as family and friends, and add more perspective. The book presents the world behind the camera not only on a practical level but on a personal level as well. The good, bad, and ugly are here with commentary about entertainment, public consumption of media, and more.Behind the Scenes is a substantial read, which I love from CCJ. I’m all about novellas, but nothing compares to being immersed in her literary world. I absolutely recommend it and am anxiously hoping some of the characters introduced make their way to the forefront of another book soon.

I absolutely loved this book!!! Works like this is the reason why I have 5 books remaining to have read all off what I can find of CCJ on Kindle!!! This woman is crazy talented!!! There's a book out there with Logan and Pierre's ending. That is why I'm not pressed about the ending of this book! I would have loved to have read the meeting of the parents! Though I will say that I love how CCJ infuses her characters into future works so no telling when you might "bump into" them again!!!

I have read Mrs Jones’ books for over 4 years and I keep meaning to write reviews and I never do. During lockdown, her books were like a blanket on a cold night, comforting and warm. I reread all them all. I’m always excited when she announces a new project.This book was like all her work, rich with compelling characters and a well-paced plot.P3 and Logan were complex relatable characters with complicated situations and contradictory emotions which made them act contrarily, at times. I loved the insight into how a screenplay is developed into a tv show.As always, I wanted to befriend these beautiful people and inhabit their world and for a few hours, I did escape to a wonderfully crafted place. Loved when characters from previous stories popped up – like unexpectedly seeing old friends and also had me going back to re-read their stories.Its Friday and cold, windy and wet in much of the British Isles – you need a blanket – you need this book.

Where do I even start!!!!! I couldn’t keep this book down.The write went straight to the point and developed on the relationship between Pierre & Logan as the story grew. Both of them weren’t ready for a relationship but yet connected in so many ways. The standard Logan set for herself seemed to crumble the more she tried to control it.Pierre was trying to prove to himself that he isn’t a failure as he doesn’t want to repeat his father’s life. He pushes everyone away and isolates himself.Logan and Pierre clearly have been hurt hence why they have poor communication issues, they simply believed that hiding their emotions makes them stronger and avoid facing reality.But their connection grows deeper and they can’t help but act out even when they judge one another expecting the worse out of each other. Their actions kept shocking each other which made them fall deeper in love. They just couldn’t understand why.I loved how the writer wrote Pierre and Logan’s story in first person, so the reader can see from Pierre and Logan’s perspective.

I loved everything about this book. This author has no limits. Each new book is an improvement and I don’t even understand how if they’re all amazing. Pierre is not an alpha and he didn’t need to be, he and Logan were just right for each other and not even knowing it.

You can tell Christina put a lot of hard work constructing this book, the language, the developing of the characters everything! I absolutely loved it. It really tackled real life situations in such a thought provoking way. Definitely worth a read!
