Synopsis

“McCoy Doesn’t miss a romantic beat in her swoonworthy sophomore rom-com.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

A heart-pounding, curvy romance about an indie bookstore owner who finds herself in a love triangle when she meets the author she's had a crush on for years...and his best friend.

Zora has committed every inch of her life to establishing her thriving DC bookstore, making it into a pillar of the community, and she just hasn’t had time for romance. But when a mystery author she’s been crushing on for years agrees to have an event at her store, she starts to rethink her priorities. Lawrence is every bit as charming as she imagined, even if his understanding of his own books seems just a bit shallow. When he asks her out after his reading, she’s almost elated enough to forget about the grumpy guy who sat next to her making snide comments all evening. Apparently the grouch is Lawrence’s best friend, Reid, but she can’t imagine what kind of friendship that must be. They couldn’t be more different.

But as she starts seeing Lawrence, and spending more and more time with Reid, Zora finds first impressions can be deceiving. Reid is smart and thoughtful—he’s also interested. After years of avoiding dating, she suddenly has two handsome men competing for her affection. But even as she struggles to choose between them, she can’t shake the feeling that they’re both hiding something—a mystery she’s determined to solve before she can find her HEA.

API Month One of my favorite panels at LA Times Festival of Books was Romance: Writing with HEArt. Some authors piqued my interest more than others. Piper Drake mentioned food, spiciness, and being Thai, and Taj piped in all knowingly. So it was a true pleasure to add her new release to my API reads.......more

What I liked 1) The cover. 2) Zora owning a book store and being passionate at helping future writers learn the behind the scenes of the publishing industry.

3.5/5 ⭐️ - This book was so funny and had so much nuance! I really enjoyed it! I love how the focus was on how we can get so easily caught up in the potential that we see in someone and forget to really ask ourselves how we feel about them. This would have been a great book for a book club! - I loved......more

Okay, but does Zora deserve to be happy? I am not so sure. I'll pray for you, Reid. You will need it. 🥴......more

Zora is a bookstore owner who doesn’t have time to date initially (we all know how that goes), but when the right man, or should I say men, come around, she is swept off her feet. Zora ends up dating two best friends, Lawrence and Reid. One guy is a best-selling author, and the other is just a norma......more
