Review Card & Book Review- One More Made Up Love Song By Jenny Proctor

Rule #1: Do not fall in love with your very famous boss. Rule #2: See Rule #1.

As the personal assistant of rockstar Freddie Ridgefield, Ivy Conway knows most women would love to have her job. It definitely has its perks. She gets to travel, the pay is great, and she’s among the first to hear Freddie’s new music.

The only problem? When she got the job, Ivy promised herself she would never fall in love with her boss. And it’s taking everything in her to stay true to her word.

Then Freddie kisses Ivy—an impulsive move to save himself from a little bit of bad press—and everything changes. Now, the whole world thinks they’re in love.

Even more significant: Ivy could swear Freddie felt the same fireworks she did when he pressed his lips to hers.

What starts as an accidental publicity stunt quickly turns into something more, but fame makes everything more complicated. As Freddie’s spotlight grows to include her—and her family—Ivy starts to wonder if the life Freddie can offer her is worth the life she’ll give up. And how she’ll ever survive without him if it isn’t.

About The Author

My Review

Ivy Conway has spent over four years as the ever-reliable personal assistant to rock star Freddie Ridgefield, keeping his world organized while quietly concealing her unrequited love for him. When an impulsive kiss changes everything, their relationship shifts in ways neither expected, bringing sparks, challenges, and vulnerability to the forefront.

Ivy’s grief over her sister Daphne and her devotion to her family give her depth and relatability, while Freddie’s struggles with belonging—especially in contrast to his academic family—make him both endearing and authentic. Their connection is tender and genuine, unfolding with just the right mix of tension and sweetness.

This is a charming, heartfelt closed-door romantic comedy that strikes the perfect balance between humor, tenderness, and slow-burn romance. As the second book in the Midnight Rush series, it follows Once Upon a Boyband but easily works as a standalone, offering a story that feels fresh and captivating on its own.
