What if a gorgeous, grumpy author dedicated his new bestseller to the stranger who inspired him - and that stranger was you...?

Clarrie Brooks isn't just having a bad day - her life seems to be falling apart. She's struggling to keep her beloved grandmother's bookshop afloat, her boyfriend has just dumped her and now it's, quite literally, raining inside her run-down apartment.

To top it off, the bookshop loses power for the tenth time this week . . . just as new author Declan Archer walks in to sign stock. Declan advises Clarrie to invest in better lighting. Clarrie suggests to him that he write a better book...

Two years later, Declan's new book is on its way to becoming a bestselling cult classic - and he's dedicated it to the bookseller who told him to write a better one. As speculation builds over the identity of the bookseller, Clarrie finds herself thrown into the spotlight. Could it be time to open her heart and draft a brand-new love story?

3.5 stars for me! At first I wasn’t sure about this book because, heads up, it starts quite slow and you definitely need to like the characters to want to continue reading it. But honestly it was a refreshing romance in a way because this didn’t feel like rushed love and the books feels more realist......more
