By Laura Wood.
A sparkling, swoony delight from start to finish!
Let’s Make a Scene by Laura Wood is the kind of romance that sweeps you up in its charm and refuses to let go. It’s fizzy, heartfelt, and gorgeously atmospheric—exactly the sort of book that reminds you why falling in love on the page feels so magical.
Wood blends humor, longing, and emotional depth with effortless grace. Cynthie Taylor is vibrant and wonderfully human, the kind of character you root for instantly. The love interest? Jack Turner-Jones is a perfect balance of brooding edges and tender warmth. Their chemistry crackles in every scene, whether they’re bantering, pretending, or slowly letting their real feelings slip through the cracks.
What makes this story shine is how beautifully it balances escapist fun with genuine emotional stakes. The romantic tension is delicious, the character growth is satisfying, and the setting feels like stepping into a sunlit daydream. Laura Wood’s prose is lush without ever being heavy, and her dialogue sparkles with wit.
If you love fake-dating tropes done right, slow-burn tension that pays off, and heroines who find both love and themselves along the way, this book is an absolute must-read. It’s joyful, romantic, and utterly enchanting.
A five-star gem that leaves you smiling long after the final page.
Let’s Make a Scene is Book #2 in the Theo & Cynthie series. I also recommend Book #1, Under Your Spell.
