All Too Reel is a book that I have been looking forward to since reading the Sweet Hollywood Romance series by Nicole Lam. This book is being marketed as clean fiction written by a Christian author, so I will review the book accordingly.
Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
Content to be aware of: mild cursing, alcohol use, brief reference to drug use, brief reference to fortune telling, Catholic faith practices, Greek Orthodox faith practices
Book Synopsis
One minute, I'm an aspiring actress, moonlighting as an overworked barista.
The next minute, I'm spilling an iced Americano on one of the world's most eligible—not to mention royal—bachelors.
I'm convinced he's going to make a scene and get me fired, but instead, Prince Kostas Alexopoulos Vasileiou of Dorapolis drops to one knee and asks me to be his wife.
That is, his fake wife for a year, so he can inherit land and money from his grandmother's trust fund.
He offers me a diamond ring, five million dollars, and free publicity to help get my acting career off the ground, in exchange for marrying him. How can I resist?
The only problem is, I'm not sure this is an acting job I can pull off. Because while his offer is enticing, this Prince Charming is way more alluring. The longer our charade goes on, the more I wonder if our arrangement is still fake... because my feelings are becoming all too real.

Book Thoughts
I always look forward to Nicole Lam's Christian and clean books as I know that I'll be in for an enjoyable ride. This was no exception as All Too Reel is infused with the author's characteristic charm and lighthearted humour. Nicole's writing style is engaging, witty, and introspective all at the same time, allowing readers to immerse themselves in her stories. She is skilled at writing strong friendships and characters that are multi-dimensional. In short, these characters come to life on the page, giving the sense that they can be known and understood beyond the circumstances they are facing.
Raina and Kostas both come from complex backgrounds involving pain, betrayal, and loss, but there is always a sense that they will emerge into who they are meant to be. Their romance unfolds in the most natural and sweet way, with supportive characters who bring out the best in them. I appreciate that Nicole's stories are less driven by physical appearance—though chemistry is certainly alluded to—and are more about each person's best qualities, making this book even more swoon-worthy. Readers looking for a story with heart, adventure, and personal growth will appreciate Raina and Kostas as they navigate a marriage of convenience and all the emotions that unfold between them.
