Action by Quinn Anderson Blurb:

Pete Griflow is the last person anyone would suspect of being a porn star. He’s quiet, gawky, and can’t even talk to guys without turning red. But on camera, he’s a different person. In the porn world, he’s Jaden Prime, a coquettish power bottom who’s been tantalizing fans for over a year now.

Pete is in a rut, though, and he knows it. And what’s worse, his boss knows it. If he can’t reignite his passion for the biz, he’s going to have trouble paying his none-too-cheap college tuition.

When Pete is given the opportunity to star in a huge summer production, sparks fly between him and his costar, Kyle Darko. Kyle is Pete’s opposite: he’s daring, achingly sexy, and in love with the sex industry. Their chemistry is palpable on and off screen, but dating on a porn set is tricky. Even pros struggle to separate fantasy from reality, especially with a script dictating their seduction. But what’s building between them can’t be ignored, and it’s so much more than getting some “action.”

My Review of Action  by Quinn Anderson:

Action by Quinn Anderson is Book 2 of the Murmur Inc. series.  This sweet porn star romance can be read as a stand alone book, however, check out my review of Hotline by Quinn Anderson if you want to read the first one as well.   Both are incredibly well-written books and I am looking forward to more from this author!

Pete is earning his way through school by filming porn.  He is actually a rather awkward and slightly dorky guy who doesn’t do all that well in social situations.  However, he has a great body and for some reason, when he is in front of the camera, he loses his awkwardness and is an amazing adult film actor.  However, he is in a rut and doesn’t know what to do about it.  Then, his boss puts him into a summer movie she is directing with an up and coming guy named Kyle Darko.  There is instant heat between these two but it is more than just sexual chemistry.  There is an emotional thread weaving the two of these guys together and the lines between acting and reality are getting a little bit blurred.

Kyle doesn’t hide the fact that he does porn for a living.  He also plans on moving up the career ladder and moving into director and studio owner. Kyle has his act together, is incredibly handsome and is actually a really nice guy.  He knows right away that what he and Pete have is more than just some on set fun.  The complication comes with trying to figure out how to turn fiction into reality for a long term relationship.

I always worry when I read porn star romance books that the whole thing will be nothing but sex.  I was actually pleasantly surprised that there was so much more to this story than just their physical relationship.  You don’t even get a kiss between these two til about 30% into the story.  The author does a great job of building up each of the characters and giving just the right amount of backstory and scene development before they actually get physical with each other.

I loved Kyle’s character.  He was so darn ‘normal’! Just an awkward boy next door kind of guy who you would never actually think could do porn.  Kyle seemed to bring out his confidence and the two characters really just went perfectly together.

If you are concerned about the whole ‘cheating’ aspect of porn star romance books, this one will be perfect for you.  Once the characters actually get together, they do not do scenes with anyone else.

Action by Quinn Anderson is very low on the angst level.  They are trying to learn their way around a relationship, which is always challenging, but not much else.  Pete will have to come out of his porn star closet a little bit towards the end which creates some stress but it is well written and not over the top dramatic.

The whole book is really very well written, with smooth dialogue and some nice banter and light-heartedness to it.  There are several well-developed secondary characters and a nice happily ever after to put a smile on your face.
