Summary

Lights. Camera. Action....

I've got everything it takes to make it in Tinseltown: confidence, charisma, and a killer chin. Now all I need is a chance.

But Los Angeles is full of hot young hunks, and talent might not be enough to separate me from the cookie-cutter crowd.

Well, you know what they say: Fake it till you make it.

So I devise a wild scheme to get noticed. Pretend I’m someone I'm not—good-bye Will O’Connell of Cincinnati and hello Liam O’Connell of Dublin.

"Liam" and his talent with accents is enough to get my foot in the door, but I never anticipated meeting the woman who has me more worried about keeping my foot out of my mouth.

Enter Raven Locke, the dark-haired bombshell who puts the ‘tude in tattooed.

On set, she’s the costumer tasked with fitting my pants, but all I can think about is how to get into hers.

As my—I mean, Liam’s—budding career begins to heat up, so do our feelings.

While Raven pursues her passion for fashion; I chase her heart.

Our picture-perfect screenplay seems sure to send us riding off onto Sunset Boulevard....

Until Raven finds out that Comedy and Tragedy aren’t the only masks I'm wearing. Our romance might be destined for the cutting-room floor, unless I can salvage our story with a plot twist she won't see coming.

The Chameleon Effect is the debut solo novel written and performed by acclaimed, award-winning romance narrator Joe Arden, with a special guest appearance from Maxine Mitchell.

A secret-identity romance from the man with the secret identity!

This male POV rom-com has it all: lots of heat, plenty of heart, and a Hollywood-worthy HEA.

Not what I expected but in the best way

I loved this book. It made me laugh out loud so many times - gangly necked feather demons 🤣 - and then it got me in the feels at the end. I may have listened to a particular chapter more that once because it brought the spice too. IYKYK. 😉

Joe's a chameleon!

An original story written beautifully. Joe is not only an amazing renowned narrator, but now an author too! I can't wait to hear/read more!

All the feels and all the words

I knew this would be good because, well, it's Joe. A man with a brilliant brain and a big heart. But my goodness this was far, far better than I even imagined.

Joe's story telling ability, both with his writing and with his voice, is stellar. This story will give you all the feels. His descriptions are evocative and imaginative and his prose flows beautifully.

A an aside, I'm not familiar with LA but he has included so many landmarks and quirks of the town he loves that I now want to go!

If you want to listen to a book that has it all, all the emotions... all the anticipation, the frustration, the love..is well written and leaves you feeling really good then this is the one.

Thank you Joe. It was worth the wait.

Brilliant

I never write reviews but I just had to after listening to this story.
Joe you are an awesome narrator as we all know but add author to that now. You have written an amazing story, I want Liam/Will and Raven as friends. Such a beautiful story with excellent accents to boot. Loved the interludes with the amazing Maxine Mitchell.
If you want a feel good story with laughter, tears and hotness thrown in this is well worth the credit.

Loved it

I’m a big fan of Joe Arden as a narrator and was excited to listen to him read his own book. I wasn’t disappointed. Loved it. Just the right amount of frustration (me shouting at him to just tell her!!!!), and enough angst to follow. I liked the interludes, a very clever way to get inside the female characters psyche without make it a duet. Well done Joe

Oh Joe! Well done you 🙌👏🥰

With a phone filled with audio books this is my first ever review!
You created perfection.
This book is every woman's dream and yes it seems it's taken a man to create it 🤣
you hit every situation with perfection, and reacted to difficult situations exactly how you want your man to react.
I listened and didn't get frustrated with any of it... which can often happen, but no... in fact I was fist pumping the air with every word out of Will/Liam's mouth.😜
give yourself a big pat on the back Joe! a job well done!
ladies don't overthink it just buy it 🤣
ps. the 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ is perfect 👌
