Stella Price thought she had her life all planned out, until it exploded in front of her. Desperate for a fresh start, she picks up her old camera and dives into the challenging world of wedding photography. But with fierce competition and a fast-approaching deadline, Stella is in danger of failing yet again.

That is, until she meets Connor Knight, the renowned wedding photographer with a reputation for being the best in the business. He's talented, arrogant, and undeniably attractive, but Stella can't stand him. However, when Connor becomes her mentor, she's forced to confront her preconceived opinions and work alongside him.

As they clash and push each other's buttons, a passionate spark ignites between them. But with Connor's cynical views on love and Stella's past mistakes, can they find a way to make it work? Or will their explosive chemistry fizzle out before they can capture their own happily ever after?

I was lucky to get an advanced copy of the book to review, and boy am I glad I did. I really enjoyed this novel, and am blown away that it is the author's debut! If you enjoy photography, Dolly Parton, ballroom dance, or just want a fun romcom to read, I highly recommend Shooters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Super cute read that will make you giggle
Reviewed in Canada on March 21, 2023
This was a cute read. I would call it "popcorn fiction" - quick, easily digestible, a little addictive (just one more page) and I felt totally satisfied once I finished reading.

This book is a romantic read - but it's not really. It's more about Stella getting to know herself again, and trust who she has become. It's about her owning up to her past mistakes, letting them go, and allowing herself to move on.

Stella is starting over - in her past life she was a successful copy writer of pharmaceutical drugs - and 6 months ago is all imploded. She made a pretty huge mistake and paid for it by having to start over.

With a fresh start available to her, she's decided to pursue her first love - photography. Specifically, she wants to get into the wedding game.

The book starts with Stella attending a wedding photographer convention of sorts - and there she meets Connor Knight - THE wedding photographer - who not only knows everything there is to know about taking the best wedding photos - but he's also handsome as sin, smart, witty, talented... you get the drift...

But based on her previous history (the event from 6 months previous), Stella decides to stay as far away from him as possible. Well except - she ends up taking his 1 week crash course on wedding photography in France and spending all kinds of time with him.

The story goes as one would expect - but I will say that most of the focus is on Stella and figuring herself out. Sure there is the romantic conflict of "should she/ shouldn't she" tossed into the equation, but really - until she faces her demons and truly decides to move forward, her relationship with Connor doesn't really gain any traction.

I really liked how the author brought the past to light (well use of jumping back in time) - but I will admit that I times I thought "do we need to go into this much detail?" or "are we doing that again?"

That said - this book had the funniest - and I mean - laugh out loud - wedding and first dance I have ever read. It was great. The secondary characters were really solid, and Stella got to travel to France and to Italy - so that was lovely.

Overall - enjoyable read - I will pick up Julia Boggio's second book - which will follow Connor's assistant and his adventures in love.

A cute little story with some moments that made me giggle aloud. And I was glad that Stella made peace with herself and moved on.

3 stars.

Thank you Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the advanced copy of this book. Happy to have discovered a new author.

This book was a welcome step out of my usually genre (fantasy). I tore through it it a week and found myself happy and content. For those that like spice, it’s a fade to black but still a great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, funny story that hooked me right away
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024

I stumbled upon this book in an author's group and am so glad I picked it up. "Shooters" is a fantastic rom-com, and I was hooked from the start. I couldn't help but love Stella, the main character, and her all-too-human flaws and quest to find herself and bounce back from an embarrassing public incident. The author did a phenomenal job of putting me right in the scene. I could see everything play out in my mind. I thoroughly enjoyed this debut novel by Julia Boggio. Hard to believe this is an inaugural book, but it's that well-written. I typically read thrillers but do pick up a rom-com here and there. I'm delighted I found a new author whose writing I adore, and I'll be buying the next books in the series. If you're on the fence, give "Shooters" a shot. (Terrible pun intended.) It won't disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars A romcom with real emotional depth.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 12, 2023

I loved reading this book and found it very hard to put down. It’s fun and flirty, with deep emotions too. The wedding photography angle brings in glitzy events and gorgeous locations.

Stella’s a great character. She’s emotionally fragile, and lacks confidence, but still steps out of her comfort zone with her new photography career.

She’s also determined to learn from her mistakes. Having grown up with undemonstrative parents who pushed her to achieve, she’s made bad choices in her past relationships, and fell hard for the first man who made her feel valued for who she is:

‘He made her feel special for once…’

And after years of never feeling ‘enough,’ she was desperate to have more of that and continued in that relationship when she should have walked away.

After having her heart shattered, the last thing she needs is romance, but then she meets Connor! Neither of them want this inconvenient attraction, but it keeps growing…

It’s always fun when two characters are so drawn to each other and resisting their attraction. I loved the flirty chemistry between these two. They challenge each other, and gradually feel safe enough to be emotionally vulnerable.

It was wonderful to see Stella getting more confident and putting her life back together. I also enjoyed the humour. I was laughing out loud, especially over the eccentric characters Stella meets on her travels.

I read this in two days. I stayed up late reading it because I didn’t want to put it down.

Obviously written by a real photographer who understands how hard it is to be a wedding photographer this was a funny, sexy book in the same genre as Sophie Kinsella and Jilly Cooper .

5.0 out of 5 stars A funny intelligently written romance
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2023

I was left with two main words after my one sitting reading of Shooters - intelligent humour. As a reader you feel at ease immediately with Julia Boggio's lovely use of language and wit. From moment one, she draws you into the centre of the messy romantic history and unpredictable life of her highly-relatable heroine, Stella. We love Stella instantly and wish we could go on a girls night out with her and her wonderful witty best friend, Claudia (who deserves a book all of her own!). We want Stella to triumph - to be able to deal with her past and to be able to sort out her feelings for action man photographer, Connor. Through a series of very funny scenes, we watch these two dance in and out of the spell that captures them. I had no idea the world of society photographers was so thrilling and such great material for a story you won't want to put down. I cannot recommend Shooters highly enough. Light the fire, make a coffee and settle into your sofa with Shooters - you will only get up to replace the coffee with a glass of wine.

I laughed, giggled,and totally enjoyed this story about two wedding photographers that find themselves in a muddle of events. At least their weddings didn’t end up as some of the ones I shot did… but the characters seems real, funny, and fun to share a few hours with, reading about romance and life. Totally enjoyed the book, bravo for the set-up for books to come! I look forward to reading those too!
