Synopsis

When fanfic writer Aaron Page landed a temp job with the creator of hit TV show, Leeches, it was only meant to last a week. Three years later, Aaron’s still there…

It could be because he loves the creative challenge. It could be because he’s a huge Leeches fanboy. It’s definitely not because of Lewis Hunter, his extremely demanding, staggeringly rude…and breathtakingly gorgeous boss.

Is it?

Lewis Hunter grew up the hard way and fought for everything he’s got. His priority is the show, and personal relationships come a distant second. Besides, who needs romance when you have a steady stream of hot men hopping in and out of your bed?

His only meaningful relationship is with Aaron, his chief confidante and indispensable assistant. And no matter how appealing he finds Aaron’s cute boy-next-door charms, Lewis would never risk their professional partnership just to scratch an itch.

But when Lewis finds himself trapped at a hilariously awful corporate retreat, Aaron is his only friend and ally. As the professional lines between them begin to blur, their simmering attraction starts to sizzle

… And they’re both about to get burned.

What a great story!

I had the pleasure of reading this book with my eyes back in November 2021 and I loved it. I was so happy to get the opportunity to listen to the audiobook for review. Often when I listen to a book that I’ve already read, I don’t pay super close attention while listening because I already know the story. That was absolutely not the case with Total Creative Control. I loved Simon Goldhill’s performance of this audiobook. As far as I know, I’ve never listened to him before but I’ll be watching for more audiobooks from him. There really isn’t anything else I can say about this book that I didn’t say in my original review which is shown below:

I’ve read nearly every romance that Sally Malcolm has published and loved all of them. I’ve also read, or listened to, many by Joanna Chambers and loved them. I just knew I was going to like this book and I wasn’t wrong. The two of them writing a contemporary romance together was fantastic.

The authors have said that it’s an angsty rom-com and they weren’t wrong. So many parts of this book had funny moments but there were also many places where I wanted to smack Lewis and tell him to wake up!! I think it’s totally possible to love a book while at the same time wanting to strangle one of the characters most of the time.

Lewis comes off as a total a-hole for much of the book but there are reasons why he is the way he is even though it’s not really explored as much as I would have like to see. I also would like to have had a little more of Lewis with his brother Owen.

Some people might think that Aaron comes off as a weak character and lets Lewis walk all over him. I think he’s really strong, though. He puts up with Lewis and knows just what he needs and how to handle him. Both of these things are pretty good in a relationship as far I’m concerned. And Lewis eventually gets his head out of his a$$.

There were a few secondary characters that I think have the potential for books of their own. **Owen would be one but I also think that Lewis’s ex might also be a good one. I can’t wait for more!
