Streams and Schemes: A Spicy Romantic Comedy Kindle Edition

by Rebecca Kinkade (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 615 ratings
A sizzling neighbors-to-lovers romantic comedy about two strangers who waited until their final minutes to act on their feelings…and then lived. Awkward.

Emergency Alert: Ballistic threat inbound to DC. Valeria Fuentes and Lander Dawson have fifteen minutes left to live. One last chance to tie up loose ends and live out their wildest dreams. So…they screw each other’s brains out, naturally.

Except Valeria and Lander are strangers. This headstrong camgirl and hotshot lawyer may be neighbors, but they’ve barely spoken. Tonight, it doesn’t matter. Going out with a bang (literally) is the perfect ending…until they learn the emergency alert was a mistake.

Now, neither can forget their scorching hot hookup. Valeria wants to pretend it never happened. There’s no future for a guy trying to make partner at a prestigious firm and a girl who performs for strangers every night...

But Lander disagrees. And he’ll do whatever it takes to prove he doesn’t just support Valeria’s lifestyle—he loves it.

STREAMS AND SCHEMES is a steamy, full-length, standalone romcom about a camgirl who hates lawyers and a lawyer who low-key doesn’t care. HEA guaranteed!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rebecca Kinkade is a Mexican/Filipina-American contemporary romance author who writes competent leads who work hard and love harder. Her books are typically high heat (seriously, she's incapable of a slow burn) and sarcastic (like this bio).

She has a BA and an MBA and is 100% positive that the most valuable thing she got out of those experiences was content for her books. Currently, she lives in Los Angeles (and assumes that makes her inherently interesting) and actually has a full-time corporate job. She writes in her spare time when she’s not sending emails to schedule meetings that could have just been emails.

if Rebecca writes it, ima read it! one week til release day!!!! 5/5★ 4/5🌶️ a cam girl and a lawyer falling in love is the book i didn’t know i needed. 😫 Val is strong-willed, confident asf, hilarious, and so much more than her job as a s3x-worker. Lander is goofy, a little weird, extremely competent, & the complete opposite of the facade he puts on at work and with clients. Rebecca is so good at making her characters feel REAL and i always find myself missing them as soon as i’m done reading. Lander & Val standing up for each other honestly had me squealing, the moments with their respective friend groups & altogether were hilarious (rlly hoping they get their own books too), the spicy scenes were hot asf (check content warnings to make sure they’re for you), and i genuinely loved the progression of their love. 🖤 if you’re looking for a book that has an MMC who literally worships the ground the FMC walks on, this is it! trope list ✧˖°🎥📎⋆ ༘⚖️⋆ˏˋ✨°•*⁀➷ ♡ neighbors to lovers ♡ cam girl x lawyer ♡ found family ♡ latina FMC ♡ sex positive MMC ♡ d!rty talk asf ♡ super funny ♡ no third act break up i am so honored to have been chosen to be one of the first readers for 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙨 & 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙨 🥹

    What would you do if you only had 20 minutes left before disaster struck?

    Valeria Fuentes decides to shoot her shot with handsome neighbor, Lander Dawson and the two share a steamy night together after receiving a warning that DC is under attack.

    Except the text was a mistake and now Valeria and Lander are forced back into reality where he is a high-powered lawyer and she works as a cam-girl. Oh, and she has one rule: No lawyers!!!

    Lander refuses to give up after the hottest night of his life with the woman he has wanted for the last year. So, he does what he does best as a lawyer. He schemes.

    Readers who enjoy the following will love this read:

    -Sex positivity (FMC is a sex worker, kinks are explored)
    -Close Proximity (neighbors with thin walls)
    -Black Cat FMC
    -Gold Retriever MMC
    -Hilarious banter (this is a rom-com)
    -Found Family
    -He falls first and hard!!!
    -No third act break-up
    -Interracial relationship
    -Political intrigue

    This was my first Rebecca Kinkade book and I am obsessed! This is book 1 of 3 and I know this is going to be one of those series I will never stop talking about to anyone that will listen. I love the sex positivity and the found family aspect the most in this book. I read a lot of romance and these books would serve as a great palette cleanser and can serve to get you out of a reading slump , especially if you’ve read a lot of heavier, messy romances.

    If you love Book 1, definitely move on to Book 2, Tips & Trysts!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining as hell
    Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Valeria, a camgirl trying hard to separate herself from her controlling father finally speaks to Lander, her attractive neighbor one night. 20 minutes later, they receive an alert that a missile is headed right where they live in Washington, D.C. Valeria goes to Lander's condo and proposes they have sex, after which they receive an update that the alert had been sent in error.

    Valeria tries really hard to stay away from Lander, especially when she finds out he's a lawyer like her father and her father's lackey who has tried hard to ruin her life since she won't date him. However, Lander doesn't back down, and Valeria quickly realizes that not only is Lander willing to risk it all for her, he is also extremely supportive of her camming career—to the tune of tens of thousands, since he'd been her most supportive viewer for a year.

    Streams and Schemes was genuinely so funny, I had such a fun time reading this! To be honest, I was a little put off by Lander being a supporter of Valeria's, just because I worried that he would be fetishizing or idealizing who Valeria was. However, I felt like Rebecca Kinkade did a great job of not only making Lander seem genuine and decent, she somehow made him not seem like a creep. Which was impressive, because I still think that behavior—engaging in a sexual relationship with someone you've secretly been watching and giving money to—is strange. LOL.

    I think that the will-they-won't-they was too…extended for me. It was inevitable that they were going to end up together, so Valeria saying no and sending mixed signals and Lander pushing back against Valeria's no's simply took place for far too long and it got to a point where I was almost uncomfortable about it? Not because I was triggered, but because I was worn thin over the sheer length of time it took them to be like, "okay, we're in this for good."

    The conflicts in this book are pretty much non-issues for us normal folks, but for people who grow up in privilege and excess, their conflicts were very real and crushing. In a broader sense, this was a book about familial relationships and the expectations adult children put on themselves to be what their parents want. It is also a wonderful display of chosen family. There is even important commentary about what it means to be a Mexican immigrant in America, and the cultural expectations for women within Latinidad that can be crushing. I think that Kinkade did a good job making these characters sympathetic enough to root for/care about. The spice was entertaining and hot, and I very much enjoyed that Lander kept giving Valeria money because I'm so tired of books where the MMC is trying to drop a bag and the FMC says they're fine with just a coin purse!!!!

    Overall, I really enjoyed the writing style and look forward to the friends' books!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Sexy and funny romcom
    Reviewed in Italy on September 8, 2024

    This was a funny romcom, full of sex positivity, sex and kinks but also a down bad hero, a wonderfully strong heroine and a lovely (if weird) group of friends.

    I wish it was more streamlined cause it felt a bit long at times. I enjoyed the first part when he was scheming to win her over but after that it went downhill. The prose wasn’t exactly to my taste but it did give it that romcom feeling. The characters were also very young, especially considering some of their accomplishments.

    All in all I enjoyed myself most of the time. Read the content warnings because this is not a book for everybody,

    Equal parts funny, oh so spicy and heartwarming, this book has it all. I adore books with confident women who know and love themselves, and the confident men who love them just the way they are; fighting together against biases and bigotry, and getting the HEA they deserve. Loved every word!
