Description

Please note: slow burn, closed door. Heat level mild. This is a funny women's fiction book with a strong romantic element and a HEA. 

A Latinx, grumpy sunshine, secret identity, slow burn women's fiction/romance.

Luci Santana believes in love, especially when it comes to books. Since being forced to give up her apartment, she'd love to get out of her over-involved family's backyard she-shed and resuscitate her life. She's given a chance to supercharge her career when she's recruited to be the face of the country's bestselling novel.

The romance book secretly written by a man.

Years before he wrote the book that changed his life, literary author Ryan Brady was caught shaming the romance genre in a video. When his book is chosen by a celebrity morning show, a face to face interview is required. Suddenly his secret pen name desperately needs a woman's face. 

Enter Luci.

Luci hates the book everyone else raves about but it becomes her job to defend the book, the genre, and try not to get caught falling in love with the enemy.

Please note: slow burn, closed door. Heat level mild. This is a funny women's fiction book with a strong romantic element and a HEA.

I'm in love with Luci and Ryan! The unique premise of A Bookish Story hooked me from the get-go, and even the need for sleep couldn't pry it out of my hands. This is the most fun I've had reading a romcom in forever. Luci and her family will steal your heart and Ryan is to die for, the cinnamon roll hero we've been craving for a long time. Do NOT miss this one!
