Adorable! The cozy romance I didn’t know I needed!
This is second in a series. I didn’t know that when I started (and it is a standalone), but if you like to read series in order, you might consider it first.
In this one, Emily goes to Ireland to be the assistant for her favorite author, Siobhan. She has read all of Siobhan’s series multiple times and has multiple copies of her books, but the last one ended 10 years ago and left the reader hanging at suspense. She wants to help the author figure out the ending and finish the series.
Siobhan happens to own a charming bookstore where Emily will be working part of the day, where she meets grumpy Kieran, who wants to see her shipped back home.
It has all the cozy romance vibes you could want to- the bookstore, bookish people, Irish scenery, and a little heat.
I felt like the spice was fun, and not too explicit. Maybe 🌶️🌶️ writing was just charming!
“So what you’re saying is I’m your muscle.”
Kier poked my bicep with his finger and said, “I think of you as more the voice of reason.” P211
