Publisher's Summary

Life has become a farcical mess for icy British A-lister Elizabeth Thornton. America's most-hated villain stars in a top-rated TV medical drama that she hates. Now, she's been romantically linked to her perky, new co-star, Summer, due to the young woman's clumsiness. As a closeted actress, that's the last thing Elizabeth needs. If she could just get her dream movie role, life would be so much better. The only problem is that the eccentric French film-maker offering it insists on meeting her "girlfriend", Summer, first. 

Summer Hayes is devastated when her co-star shuns her for accidentally sparking rumors that they're lovers. Now the so-called British Bitch has the audacity to ask Summer to pretend to be her girlfriend to get her a role? Elizabeth doesn't even like Summer! Oh, how she'd love to tell her no. And Summer definitely would if it wasn't for the fact she's maybe a tiny bit in love with the impossible woman. 

Contains mature themes.

Lovable characters

The story was good although I wish Elizabeth would have come out to Summer when Summer admitted her attraction to her (in turn, coming-out as a lesbian). Other than that, this is an awesome book. It was well written and narrated beautifully. I would recommend to anyone!

Great Story but Angela Dawe failed here.

I will give a review of each character as most voices make zero sense.

Sky - 0/10. She's an older mom yes but she's still youthful and vibrant. Angela voiced her as a 60 something year old grandma. Just awful. She should have sounded like an older Summer.

Elizabeth - 0/10. She's in her mid 30s and should have a similar voice to Summer in age. She's not a sultry 50 year old. Her choice in voice here is bad.

Alex - 0/10. She is British, not Irish. Just because she's a red head with an accent doesn't mean she's from Ireland. So just a bad choice of voice here.

Summer - 10/10, great job on her.

The rest of the voices were good and made sense. But sometimes I feel like Angela does what she thinks a "butch lesbian" should be instead of what a lesbian should be if that makes sense.

Wonderful Story

I really enjoyed this story. It was predictable at times. I found Grace to be obvious at times and I’m glad that Bess finally saw the light.

As in most stories, I want to know what comes next for the couple.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone that enjoys this style of book.

Easily one of my favourite books!!!

I absolutely adored this story oh my goodness. I didn’t want to stop, I just wanted to know what happens next. It’s a story I would’ve loved to see more of in the media as well. So beautifully written that I found myself smiling so much throughout the book. The narrator is so impressive as well she really brought the story to life. Highly recommend!

Wonderful story, AMAZING NARRATION

This was another wonderful gem by Lee Winter. The narration was superb and just how she manages all those different accents and voices I don’t understand but it’s wonderfully written and narrated. Couldn’t stop listening!

Excellent Story

Summer and Elizabeth are easily one of my favorite sapphic couples from any story! This is a story I continue to come back to, to re-listen. The plot is excellent! Highly recommend!

An excellent story brought to life!

I laughed out loud quite a few times while listening to this book. Lee Winter is a gifted author, and the way Angela Dawe brings all the characters to life is absolutely phenomenal. Breaking Character is a story filled with depth and development and dry humour. I loved it, and implore everyone to pick up this audio version.
