The Seat Filler: A Novel

Written by Sariah Wilson

Narrated by Kate Marcin

The movie star and the dog groomer are one kiss away from the perfect love story. That’s the hiccup in a warm and witty romance by the bestselling author of Roommaid.

The meet-cute award goes to dog groomer Juliet Nolan. It’s one of Hollywood’s biggest nights when she volunteers as a seat filler and winds up next to movie heartthrob Noah freaking Douglas. Tongue tied and toes curling in her pink Converse, she pretends that she doesn’t have a clue who he is. It’s the only way to keep from swooning.

She’s pretty and unpretentious, loves his dog, and is not a worshipping fan. No way Noah’s giving up on her, even if his affectionate pursuit comes with a bump: Juliet has a pathological fear of kissing and the disappointments that follow. What odds does romance have without that momentous, stupendous, once-in-a-lifetime first smooch? Patient, empathetic, and carrying personal burdens of his own, Noah suggests a remedy: they rehearse.

The lessons begin. The guards come down. But there’s another hitch they weren’t betting on. As for that cue-the-orchestra-and-roll-credits happy ending? It might take more than practice to make it perfect.

Reviews for The Seat Filler

[carolyn · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Although listed as a “sweet romance” this is not a clean read. The story is funny in parts but I was expecting a clean romance based on scribds classification.

[Sarah B Peveler · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Absolutely adored this book! I love a good Rom-Com and this one exceeded my expectations. Definitely one I will pick up again.

[Santana Inniss · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The plot was too contrived. Maybe too thin. Actors and musicians at awards shows understand the concept of a seat filler. So basing the central conflict around the actor fearing the person sat next to him at a major award show is a stalker, and then that person pretending not to know him just felt awkward and undeveloped.

[Rachel · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was ok. The cause of the climax was just too weak for me. No reasonable person would have cared that much.

[Deanna · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This book had a lot of potential if not for the insufferable FMC and too-good-to-be-true MMC

[Tressa Rochester · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This book is a meet cute with very little character or plot development. It’s cute… but with nearly no substance.

[Yael Kaner · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was the story that got me out of my dry spell, I loved it, loved the author, the characters, the plot, the easiness of the flow, it was just perfect and the narrator was great, she gave the characters their justice.
Lots and lots of stars

Classic Rom-Com. All the parts arranged in the right order. A few laughs. Well draw characters. Excellent narration.

[Jenna Vaughn · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was cute and I appreciated the compassion from Noah. They did a good job of explaining desensitization.
