Publisher's Description

 Inspiration can come from the most unlikely—and inconvenient—sources.

Kara Sullivan’s life is full of love—albeit fictional. As a bestselling romance novelist and influential bookstagrammer, she’s fine with getting her happily-ever-after fix between the covers of a book.

But right now? Not only is Kara’s best friend getting married next week—which means big wedding stress—but the deadline for her next novel is looming, and she hasn’t written a single word. The last thing she needs is for her infuriating first love, Ryan Thompson, to suddenly appear in the wedding party. But Ryan’s unexpected arrival sparks a creative awakening in Kara that inspires the steamy historical romance she desperately needs to deliver.

With her wedding duties intensifying, her deadline getting closer by the second and her bills not paying themselves, Kara knows there’s only one way for her to finish her book and to give her characters the ever-after they deserve. But can she embrace the unlikely, ruggedly handsome muse—who pushes every one of her buttons—to save the wedding, her career and, just maybe, write her own happy ending?

 

My Thoughts 

I received an eARC courtesy of Graydon House/Harlequin via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This was a surprising delight. Were the exploits of Kara and Ryan predictably frustrating? Yes. Did I care? Nope. This was a nice piece of escapism, with some very sultry scenes. All-in-all, this was exactly the book I needed to read right now.

For Libraries: Your romance readers are most likely going to devour this one, so it's a pretty sure bet.
