♥ Losing her job isn't her biggest problem. Falling for a handsome, and mysterious, customer in the middle of life's chaos is. ♥

Iris
I just ran into a brick wall of a man, dropped my already broken phone, and may have said something to the effect of "Grerglerdeggen". Yeah, not my finest moment, but if you'd just learned you got canned by text, you might be having a bad day, too.
And I swear he asked me out, while holding my phone hostage.
Stop it! You might be a poor Cinderella, but he’s just a guy in the theatre, not a Prince Charming.
If I don't find a new job and soon, my dad's going to be the one who suffers and I can't let that happen.
When Mr. Brick-Wall offers me a job, I'm cautious...what kind of job are we talking about?

Thatcher
As the CEO of a large movie theater chain, I have thousands of things to work through, deal with millions of dollars that require my attention--I'm a work-warlord.
This young angel disarmed all of my carefully constructed barriers - no permission sought - and walked right into my core. All she had to do was bump into me and gape at my face with those big brown eyes.
How am I meant to punish an angel for disrupting the Thatcher code?
Sure, she's my employee, but I haven't gotten to where I'm at without breaking a few rules.
But this one little beauty, she might just break my heart.

Show Time: a BBW Romance is a delightful and captivating read. Crew introduces the reader to two complex characters--Iris Morales and Thatcher. The accidental meeting ignites a chemistry between them even though they come from polar opposite worlds. Iris is a 22 year old working two job to help her ailing father finance a surgery he needs. Her world seems to be crashing when receives a text that informing her of her termination of her day job. Overcome with despair, she collides with a solid wall of muscle in Thatcher. Thatcher is the CEO of the movie theater chain she works at. His protective nature ignites with this collision. Will Thatcher be Iris' knight in shining armor? Will Iris be able to help her father get his surgery? Will these two get together? To learn the answers to these questions, you have to read the book.

Crew does a remarkable job with literary devices such as dialog, POV and descriptive language. I enjoyed how she tells the story through a dual POV of Iris and Thatcher. Readers also get to understand these two characters. Through her descriptive scenes, the reader is transported into each scene in order to fully enjoy them. If you are looking for a captivating romantic novella then I recommend this HEA.

Iris was working tow jobs to support herself and her sick father. At her movie theater job she gets a texts that she's fired because she had to call off a couple times for appointments her father had. This has her crying in the bathroom and when she comes out she bumps into a sexy stranger. Thatcher is drawn to Iris and wants to help her so he sets up a job for her as a way to get to know her better. Iris is stunned when she reads about the job but she needs it so she jumps at it. Thatcher takes this chance to get to know Iris and to convince her to take a chance on him. Will Iris take a risk with her heart with Thatcher? Can they have something serious with each other/

This is a great story that will hook you in the first chapter. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
Show time is book three in the ‘’insta love hearts’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Iris is works two jobs in order to try and pay for her father’s surgery. When she loses one of her jobs, Iris is gutted. Thatcher wants Iris as soon as he runs into her. He will do anything to get his girl.
The chemistry between Thatcher and Iris is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

I really enjoyed Show Time by Ally Crew and Brynn Hale. Thatcher and Iris were great together. Iris is working two jobs to support her and her dad and to pay his medical bills. Her night job is working at a major movie theater. Thatcher is immediately smitten when Iris literally runs into him at work. Thatcher wants Iris and he sets out to make it happen. He is determined ro treat her like the princess she is-his princess. Definitely recommend!

I am enjoying this series and the collaboration between these authors. The story is short but sweet and sexy. The characters have some depth and are lovable so you don't feel like you miss anything even with the story being short.

Good simple romance
It's a romance that I found simple and very cute, just like its characters: a young lady (Iris) is saved by her initially anonymous knight (Thatcher), but who quickly turns out to be not so a stranger to her life.

A quick fluff and sweet OTT short story. Iris is down on her luck when she bumps into Thatcher and all bets are off from the moment he lays eyes on her.
