My Rating: OSCARS
This story kept me turning the pages. It had me laughing, crying, and wanting to smack Liam upside his head. I loved how patient Shelby was with Liam and all his demands. I fell in love with Liam when he started to realize his feelings and responsibilities. He was a caring individual even when he was behaving immaturely. I highly recommend this story.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
What a great story this was. I absolutely LOVED Liam and Shelby. They were perfect for each other in every way possible. I was funny and charming and she took care of him in more ways than one.
I loved the transition from friends to something more. Being European the British English was up my alley and I was laughing so much while reading this because the banter was hilarious. I even loved the drama and complications that were thrown at them before they could find their HEA.
It was amazing read I’m looking forward not read more by this author.

Liam and Shelby’s story is about a famous actor having to hire a new housekeeper, she helps him out with everything, but in then something changes and he steps up for her. Their chemistry is off the charts and it’s a beautiful story. The other characters are amazing and would love to see their stories told as well. I strongly suggest you read this book, I love all of Melanie Moreland books but this one has a new side you will love.
This is the first book that I’ve read by this author and I didn’t know what to expect and it was awesome. I really enjoyed it.
Liam is a very famous movie star and all though he is a grown man he is quite child like and does rely on all of those around him to take care of him, sort of baby him really. However Liam is one of the good guys, he is very sexy, very sweet, loving very caring and he will do anything for anyone and he is extremely generous with his money.
Shelby is the complete opposite of Liam she is a very independent person and knows how to take care of herself. She is sometimes a tad insecure about herself and she does compare herself to others a lot. She doesn’t have much money and at the moment she is in a sticky situation. Her brother offers her a job working for Liam as his housekeeper and she takes as she is out of options at the minute. Even though Shelby is the maid she doesn’t take any crap from Liam, but she does also take very good care of him. All of a sudden something hits Liam like a smack in the face, his feelings for Shelby. He is in love with Shelby.
Can these two ever be together? Can these two ever really admit there feelings for one another?
(NO SPOILERS).
The chemistry between these two is of the charts and I really like them both, this author has written theses two characters awesome. I really enjoyed reading this book and the humor that came with it including the banter between these two.
I will recommend this book when it gets released.
Thank you it the author and to the publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.

Liam is an actor and his best friend Shelby is more than a match for him when it comes to his antics. It was wonderful to read how their relationship evolves as they move from friends / lovers. This is a beautifully written tale which is humorous, fun, and entertaining throughout. I was totally captivated throughout this riveting page turner, and I highly recommend this gifted authors’ work for all.
“A dashing actor at the top of his game. The dynamic woman who oversees his mansion. When their professional relationship evolves into something more, a passion is cooked up in unexpected ways, resulting in an unforgettable romantic delight. NY Times Bestselling Author Melanie Moreland shares the recipe for love in her new romance novel CHANGING ROLES!”
Changing Roles is a rather interesting story about actor Liam Wright. When his assistant recommends Shelby to run his house, needless to say nothing goes the way anyone expects.
I genuinely liked Shelby and it took me a bit to like Liam and his gruff ways but he defintely endeared himself in the way he cares for those close to him.
I liked the story, the banter was good and the friendships formed are wonderful. I really was hoping that the way the friendship progressed between Liam and Shelby would lead to something beautiful. Can Shelby overcome her past, what about Liam and his career. When things get decidedly dicey for the pair, what will happen?? Well you need to read it for yourself to find out.
A good read!
5 STARS
You can count on Melanie Moreland to give you a satisfying and memorable read. This story will grab readers, who will fall in love with the main characters, Liam and Shelby. Their beginning that starts in an unconventional way will have you laughing and keep you entertained. I was enamoured with Liam and his cluelessness, but it was so endearing to see the change as realization sets in.
I loved everything about this book, it truly is an EPIC friends to lovers romance. Changing Roles by Melanie Moreland will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!
*sigh* This book is so much swoon that I could barely even handle it. Liam is one of the best characters I’ve read in a long, long time. The friendship between him and Shelby was so special that I couldn’t get enough.
I loved how this story was light on the angst and left my heart feeling full and happy. I never wanted the book to end and I want to visit these characters again and again!!

I think Melanie Moreland has a delicate writing style and her characters reflect that. The way she develops her characters is so unique and with a gentle and kind touch that it is impossible not to like them.
Even when she writes about characters that are unbearable at first, like Richard (The Contract – please read!) and now with Liam, a self-proclaimed Peter Pan actor with pampared maners. However, he grows so much in the story, specially being in love with Shelby and she is the one who breaks his shell and helps him grow.
This story is wonderful and as I said before really delicated and sensitive. I loved how Shelby is the anchor that settles Liam in the shore and he is her support system as well.
Their love is the one thing that holds this story and makes the book so good to read.
I loved this book and hope you love as well!
Liam is a successful actor but when it comes to his personal life he is carefree and doesn’t want to be troubled with the day to day responsibilities that most people must face. Instead he ensures that he is surrounded by people to take care of the details of his life and that includes having Shelby live with him and look after his home and meals.
Shelby was going through a difficult time so the job was Liam was exactly what she needed at exactly the right time. Not only did she work for him but living together they developed a deep friendship that was evolving into something so much more.
Their journey wasn’t without its obstacles as Shelby knows that he is fun but doesn’t believe he can give her forever. Liam wasn’t about to let the best thing that had ever happened to him walk out of his life and was determined to show her that he could be the man she needed. Humor, heat and all the feels as Liam and Shelby realize that all they really need is each other.
Liam is a sweetie. A famous actor, but not very good at real life and a bit of a ‘git’. After having to fire his misguided housekeeper; she was selling his stuff online. He needs someone to help with his life.
Shelby is a natural caretaker, has been her whole life. Ask her brother, Everett, Liam’s manager. Shelby’s husband ran out on her with all her saving & leaving her with a huge amount of debt and in need of a fresh start.
Shelby is a natural choice to help Liam. The interview is a hoot.
Shelby fits into Liam’s life as though she’s always been there. Best friends with some serious underlying chemistry.
Shelby becomes a major part of Liam’s life, organising, planning, cooking, making everything easier for him. She helps him manage his mental health. Liam need her help & her caring nature. He’s like the eternal lost boy. When something happens to Shelby Liam is alpha male all the way. He grows up in a blinkof an eye becoming the caretaker & protector, handling the situation.
The secondary characters a fab, engagain & interesting. I’d love to see books for Everett & Cassidy and Douglas & Caroline.
5 Addictive ‘Oscar-worthy’ stars.
Changing Roles is a warm, funny and delightfully sweet rom-com from my favorite author, Melanie Moreland. Liam Wright is a British actor living in LA. he should be on top of the world, and in his acting life, he is. But, real-life and having to deal with the effects of being a ‘hot property’ actor isn’t something he enjoys.
Shelby is searching for a new life and finds it being Liam’s new housekeeper. But, that’s not all she is. She and Liam form an instant friendship, neither are looking for more… or so they think. It’s only when Liam’s cousin threatens their status quo that he discovers the truth.
This story is filled with scorching chemistry from both characters, witty banter, light-hearted fun moments and some more serious ones. Their journey is filled with all the feels and kept a happy smile on my face… most of the time. Be prepared to laugh, love, chuckle and cry, yes, you will run the gamut of emotions with this one. But, as always, Ms. Moreland delivers a most excellent read.H
This book blew me away. It has both the sweet side we crave in a romance, but also the fanning yourself sexiness.
Liam and Shelby have a fun, flirty banter that builds as their relationship grows. As the relationship progresses you get to experience how deep the love runs between them.
Melanie Moreland is a must read, you will not be disappointed
Ooh, happy days. I love a good Melanie Moreland romance, and this little gem hit the mark. Liam Wright, Hollywood sex God, an actor who shys away from the spotlight, avoids confrontation and doesn’t answer personal questions about his life. He likes his privacy and keeps a tight circle of friends, he’s adorable, his friends and family love him, yet indulge him, he’s not self centred and he’s got a heart of gold. When it actually matters I’m sure he’d man up and look after those who needed him. Angst free, romantic, sexy, funny and emotional. Friends to lovers to so much more. I loved it. I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest review.
Melanie Moreland is an author I adore, I love her strong writing skills and I love her characters so Changing Roles was always going to be on my radar and it was everything I expected and more !!!!
Liam Wright is the man nicknamed Peter Pan, he has a host of people to take care of his needs but when Shelby Carter takes over the running of his house he realises he not only wants to grow up he also has found a love for turkey sandwiches and cupcakes. Shelby may start off as an employee but as they get to know each other they fast become best friends but is that all they will ever be ………
Liam Wright and Shelby Carter are a fun couple that I fell for big time and I’m sure their story is one I will want to read time and time again because it’s funny and it’s romantic, it’s passionate and it also ticked all my boxes . I highly recommend this feel good romance that left me smiling like a Cheshire Cat so all that’s left to say is please one click this gem
