Breaking Character (audiobook) by Lee Winter
Description
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 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.
A lesbian celebrity romance about gaining love, losing masks, and trying to stick to the script.

Word Saviour – :
No wonder everyone is gushing about this book, it’s so – hmm, which word to pick to describe it correctly? – I’d say it’s heartwarming. It’s the perfect medicine to brighten a rainy day and to lighten up your mood. Characters you’re going to fall in love immediately and the voice and talent of Angela Dawe is simply incredible.

I read this for the 2025 Sapphic Book Bingo Micro-Tropes reading challenge for the prompt Accidental Admission.
I used to say I didn’t particularly enjoy books set in Hollywood but between Jae, Rachel Lacey, Amy Spalding, Harper Bliss, and this book, I give up and proclaim I love this setting.
Quick Thoughts:
– I love grumpy/sunshine stories. Though I’d argue the grumpy one is mostly a reaction to crappy bosses who actively work to make a person with morals life more difficult
– Grace is what you get if a red flag took on human form
– The side characters were fantastic and I want to know them personally (except Grace, unless it gives me the opportunity to push her into the ocean)
– Lee Winter is top tier at writing Ice Queens who melt
– No third act breakup!
– I love how the two protagonists are so different but fit perfectly together because of those differences
– The description of the how this medical show goes downhill had me cackling because it basically describes all medical shows that have ever been made
– That ending and Epilogue was perfect
– Except I do wish horrible things had happened to Grace
– Angela Dawe is the perfect narrator for this book. It only takes a couple of paragraphs to hear that. She really shines in the dialogue and is on the list of narrators that will convince me to get basically any book
Overall I absolutely adored this book. Lee Winter is an absolutely amazing author that even with stories you aren’t sure you’ll enjoy much, you end up loving them. I recommend picking up any book by her that you think you even might enjoy. You won’t be disappointed.
