Blurb
It’s not easy breaking into show biz. Especially when you aren’t exactly loaded with talent. But Malcolm Fox won’t let a little thing like that hold him back.
Actually, it isn’t the show-business part of his life that bothers him as much as the romantic part—or the lack thereof. At twenty-six, Malcolm has never been in love. He lives in San Diego with his roommate, Beth, another struggling actor, and each of them is just as unsuccessful as the other. While Malcolm toddles off to this audition and that, he ponders the lack of excitement in his life. The lack of purpose. The lack of a man.
Then Beth’s brother moves in.
Freshly imported from Missouri of all places, Cory Williams is a towering hunk of muscles and innocence, and Malcolm is gobsmacked by the sexiness of his new roomie from the start. When infatuation enters the picture, Malcolm knows he’s really in trouble. After all, Cory is straight!
At least, that’s the general consensus.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
I enjoyed every second of John Inman's Acting Up, as it's sweet and perfectly entertaining.
Malcolm has a fantastic sense of humor and kept me laughing throughout. He and his roommate Beth are just a great combination of great friends, banter, and wit. Then Cory moves in, and they were so much fun together.
This book has a whole of laughs and romance, mixed in with some serious moments. The combination is expertly executed. I mean seriously, the pets had me in stitches and the whole moment of the mattress had me giggling.
Cory's sexuality is handled in a charming, tender and genuine manner. It definitely has it's share of serious moments that are emotional.
Overall, Acting Up was the perfect mix of flirting, humor, and charm for me. It is a wonderful feel-good romance that I look forward to re-reading.
