About this ebook

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'The best rom-com I have read this year'

This love story is a work in progress...

When romcom author Allie Edwards crosses paths with bestselling crime novelist – aka publishing dinosaur – Martin Clark at a party, they discover they both have crippling writer’s block, overdue manuscripts and precisely zero words to show to their respective editors.

With deadlines looming, Allie and Martin decide to switch plots and tell each other’s stories. In the writing process, Allie not only gains a father-figure in Martin, but also meets gorgeous events caterer Will, the answer to the leading man-shaped hole in her life and her lack of spicy material.

Caught between love and her career, what could possibly go wrong?

Ratings and reviews

This was fun, I read it in just over a day. I did get frustrated that Allie couldn't/wouldn't tell the truth, but I also think it was well sign-posted because she wouldn't admit to Verity that she hadn't written anything for her new novel and continued to promise a synopsis/first few chapters in a few days. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
