Action (Murmur, Inc. Book 2) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
A standalone novel in the Murmur, Inc. universe

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."

Review

"Action was better than I'd hoped for. I devoured every word and wanted more." - Wicked Reads

"Anderson's writing is fast-paced and entertaining. Her portrayals are sweet and shy one moment, then pure, unstoppable passion the next." - Publisher's Weekly

"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." - Nautical Star Books

"This book combines deliciously filthy smut with an incredibly sweet romance and perfect comic timing." - Wicked Reads

"Anderson delivers on the promise of tender romance and steamy excitement." - Publisher's Weekly

About the Author

Quinn Anderson is an alumna of the University of Dublin in Ireland and has a master's degree in psychology. She wrote her dissertation on sexuality in popular literature and continues to explore evolving themes in erotica in her professional life.
A nerd extraordinaire, she was raised on an unhealthy diet of video games, anime, pop culture, and comics from infancy. She stays true to her nerd roots in writing and in life and frequently draws inspiration from her many fandoms, which include Sherlock, Harry Potter, Supernatural, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Buffy, Marvel, and more. You will often find her interacting with fellow fans online and offline via conventions and tumblr, and she is happy to talk about anything from nerd life to writing tips. She has attended conventions on three separate continents and now considers herself a career geek. She advises anyone who attends pop culture events in the UK to watch out for Weeping Angels, as they are everywhere.
Her favorite television show is Avatar: the Last Airbender, her favorite film is Tangled, and her favorite book is Ella Enchanted. She can often be spotted at conventions, comic shops, and midnight book releases. If you're at an event, and you see a 6'2" redhead wandering around with a vague look on her face, that's probably her. Her favorite authors include J.K. Rowling, Gail Carson Levine, Libba Bray, and Tamora Pierce. When she's not writing, she enjoys traveling, cooking, spending too much time on the internet, screwing the rules, finding the Master Sword, guided falling, consulting for the NYPD, guarding the galaxy, boldly going, and catching 'em all.

Quinn Anderson is an alumna of the University of Dublin in Ireland and has a master’s degree in psychology. She wrote her dissertation on sexuality in popular literature and continues to explore evolving themes in erotica in her professional life.

A nerd extraordinaire, she was raised on an unhealthy diet of video games, anime, pop culture, and comics from infancy. Her girlfriend swears her sense of humor is just one big Buffy reference. She stays true to her nerd roots in writing and in life, and frequently draws inspiration from her many fandoms, which include Yuri on Ice, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Buffy, and more. Growing up, while most of her friends were fighting evil by moonlight, Anderson was kamehameha-ing her way through all the shounen anime she could get her hands on. You will often find her interacting with fellow fans online and offline via conventions and Tumblr, and she is happy to talk about anything from nerd life to writing tips. She has attended conventions on three separate continents and now considers herself a career geek. She advises anyone who attends pop culture events in the UK to watch out for Weeping Angels, as they are everywhere. If you’re at an event, and you see a 6’2” redhead wandering around with a vague look on her face, that’s probably her.

Her favorite authors include J.K. Rowling, Gail Carson Levine, Libba Bray, and Tamora Pierce. When she’s not writing, she enjoys traveling, cooking, spending too much time on the internet, playing fetch with her cat, screwing the rules, watching Markiplier play games she’s too scared to play herself, and catching ’em all.

Quinn Anderson did it again!

Man, this was just wonderful. I loved getting to know these two dorks, and I was so invested in their story...

The characters- both main and secondary- were brilliant. Pete's mom was a true gem; and Sana was *the* Boss- no pun intended; and Raj was really Best Friend goals! And of course, Colette. You can't just leave her out of this. That woman rocks.

Can I just say (again, cause I think I remember I went on about something of the sort with Hotline) that I'm absolutely, positively, SO EFFIN HERE for the approach these books give to the porn industry, and to the effect the line of work has on the lives of the people involved? And by "people involved" I'm obviously referring to the people who work in it-but also their inner circle. I honestly think that it's precisely this aspect that's one of this series'strongest points. I loved the insightful and sensible way this particular topic is approached. It honestly makes me want to see more books with this same treatment.

In regards to the previous point- but also specifically about the characters for this particular story- I can't explain how positively giddy it made me to see them approach the subject with the maturity they did. I'm so, very much, here for that level of commitment and communication and- seriously. SO. MUCH. YES! I loved Pete and Evan's conversations, and how they worked to be on the same page when getting into their relationship.

What surprised me about this book, in a way, is that it was really low on the drama (there was absolutely no angst, and it was really light on the "tension" too). I guess, after Hotline, I was kind of bracing myself for the moment when things got messy, but fortunately it was all pretty smooth and, you know, it worked wonderfully with this kind of story.

There was honestly not one dull moment while getting to know these characters and their story. I was 100% invested all the time, from the first to the last word. Last, but not least (cause it is that sort of book after all), the sexytimes were so amazing...

Seriously. This book. Good stuff. Now I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

It is not often that you read a story about the behind the scenes of this industry. Making it more personal and showing that it can be more than a sexual activity brings it home. Hope others read this book and enjoy the characters.

I had a few moments where i wasn't sure where this was going, or I had a horrible feeling that I knew EXACTLY where it was going, and I really didn't want to bear witness.

But this turned out to be an "awww!" kind of story and I actually loved it.

I liked that this was a mature look at the porn industry, and wasn't sleezy in any way. It also made me think about things from a different perspective, which I really appreciate in a book.

In fact, that is what prompted me to immediately rate and leave a review, which does not happen very often.

All in all, a pleasant surprise and I have no doubt I will be reading this book again in the future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just okay, a little awkward. I expected sexier, more intriguing characters from a porn star romance.
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017
The premise of Action is hot: two porn stars meet on set and fall in love while filming a movie. Unfortunately, the reality is that the first half is more dry and awkward than sexy. My first complaint with this story is that it's told from a single perspective—Pete's, the gangly, baby-faced boy next door. His co-star Kyle is supposed to be the sexpot top in the story, but he comes off more smug and cocky (and unrelatably mysterious) than appealing. Which is why I wish the story included his perspective too.

It eventually picks up, and there are some likable secondary characters, but this book just didn't grip me like other porn star romances have.

Perky, fun novel dealing with the adult film industry set in Los Angeles. Student and professional bottom Jaden/Pete is cast with newcomer Kyle/Evan. Instant chemistry leads to a plot with a mix of filming scenes as a relationship blooms. Supporting players at Murmurs (this is second in a series), the Globe, a coffee shop, and lecture halls make for a well balanced story. And on and off the set, the action smolders.

The love between the two porn stars was warm. All the characters in the story were sharply defined. It's good to have a proper book instead of a 70 page story that's labelled a book.

This book has some steamy parts, but it was more about getting to know someone outside of their shared job. Jaden has two jobs, one is in a coffee shop and the other as a porn star. Jaden was becoming bored in his porn job but he needed the work to pay his college tuition. Then he meets Kyle who was to co-star in a movie. They had an instant attraction to each other which is the basis of the well written story.

This was my first read by Quinn Anderson. It was a slow start, and I almost gave up. I’m so glad I didn’t! When Pete meets Kyle, they have instant chemistry. I love how it’s all from awkward Pete’s POV so there’s a bit of mystery to Kyle but at the same time, the author does an amazing job communicating Kyle’s thoughts and feelings. Even though they’re porn stars, this is definitely a romance. It’s very hot, but it’s not constant sex, and it’s very emotional. It’s actually a very sweet story. I’ll be trying more by Quinn Anderson.

This didn't hit the mark as well as book one, but it was still a entertaining, page turner.
I didn't buy a porn star being shy and convinced no one would find out his secret, but if you can get over that, its a lot of fun.
