Rory is rope into Maya and London love affair and meets Ellis London agent who isn’t please with London new romance especially when she land a great role and it’s seems Maya is trying undermine Ellis. Ellis and Rory sort got on the wrong foot and when they start to spend time together they realize they were wrong about each other. As Ellis tries to keep London from doing anything to jeopardize her career Rory tries to get ahead as chef as she help her sister Meadow and their mother Joy. I like that Rory is close with her family that she was honest didn’t keep things to herself Ellis seems cold but she just wanted London and herself to succeed but didn’t really care for London or Maya

Review-
I really enjoyed this book. Its the type of book that will make u forgot that you are reading and instantly boost your mood.
I could see the chemistry between Rory and Ellis from the very start, they are so cute and adorable, but I wish the book had more focus on their relationship and a little less on Maya and London’s. I also hoped to see a little more on what happened to London and Maya after everything that happened. Other than that it was so enjoyable and such a fun read. Its fast-paced and a perfect read if you need a palate cleanser.
I highly recommend Lean in to Love. - 3 Stars !

[ARC Review - Spoiler Free]
Lean in to Love by Catherine Lane is a contemporary lesbian romance novel that explores the challenges and rewards of working in the entertainment industry. The book follows the unlikely relationship between Ellis Turner, a successful Hollywood talent agent, and Rory, a chef, who met through their mutual connection to London Green, a famous actress and Ellis' client.
The book offers an insider's perspective on the glamorous and cutthroat world of Hollywood, where scandals, secrets, and lies are part of the daily routine. Ellis has to deal with London's erratic behavior, decisions, and her ruthless competitors, while trying to maintain her professional reputation and integrity.
Rory, on the other hand, is an outsider who is skeptical of the industry and its values, and who wants to expose the truth behind the headlines. She is also concerned about her roommate Maya, who is London's new girlfriend and who seems to have ulterior motives for dating the star.
The author skillfully depicts the chemistry and attraction between the characters (Rory and Ellis), and also explores the themes of identity, trust, and communication. However, I felt that the book could have given more attention to Rory and Ellis’s relationship, and less involving London and Maya, two secondary characters who seemed to overshadow the main couple. Either way this book is an enjoyable read, with a fast-paced plot. Would definitely recommend! Thank you NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for this ARC!
