Daphne has written a book, a pretty fantastic one if you ask her. One night after a couple rejections and even more glasses of wine she decides to submit her manuscript to an agent under a pseudonym. The only problem, she's given herself a male name. Honestly it wouldn't really be an issue except the agent took her, I mean him, on as a client and has sold the book for a half a million dollars. Now Daphne has to find the perfect actor to play Zane, the author of her book.
Chris is an actor, well he's an accountant and that's close enough right? He really needs this job and being, also he LOVES this book, but Zane would never say that. Zane doesn't read, and is a bit of an ass while Chris reads everything and finds comfort in numbers. Sparks fly and so do the rumors when these two are thrown together for a whirlwind tour of interviews and book signings.
The first book I ever read by Kelley Armstrong was Bitten. It was during my Twilight vampire/werewolf phase and it was soooo much better than twilight. Then a couple years ago I was approved for an ARC of A Rip Through Time (another great read). It made me realize how multifaceted of an author she is, so of course when I saw she wrote a new book in yet another genre, I had to have it.
Huge thanks to Netgalley and Forever for the advanced copy of this book.
I need a penis - Daphne
If you are going to open a book with a single line to grab your readers attention...this is the one. From that first line, I knew I was going to love Finding Mr. Write. Okay, maybe I was a little bias because I have enjoyed everything else that I have read by Kelley Armstrong, but just because an author is good at writing one or two genre styles, doesn't mean they will be good at all of them. If you are asking me, which you aren't but I will tell you anyway, rom-coms are where Kelley slays. This book had me laughing out loud at all of the back and forth between Daphne and Chris constantly.
"Bear spray? What for?" "The squirrels. They're very dangerous this time of year."
Daphne and Chris have quite the roll reversals a few times during the book that I really enjoyed. I wouldn't say they were grumpy and sunshine, maybe more of a jolly and jaded because Daphne was definitely jaded, and she had every right to be with the experiences she had throughout her life. Chris really helped to break down her walls and show her that not everyone and everything is as it seems from the start. I appreciate that this was an adult couple. If they had something that they were keeping from the other person, it wasn't revealed in some huge blow up. It was discussed, maybe not right away but as soon as they were able.
If you are looking for a fun rom-com that is laugh out loud funny, you will enjoy Finding Mr. Write by Kelley Armstrong. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for my second rom-com in a month.
