One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...

Nora is a cut-throat literary agent at the top of her game. Her whole life is books.

Charlie is an editor with a gift for creating bestsellers. And he's Nora's work nemesis.

Nora has been through enough break-ups to know she's the woman men date before they find their happy-ever-after. That's why Nora's sister has persuaded her to swap her desk in the city for a month's holiday in Sunshine Falls, North Carolina. It's a small town straight out of a romance novel, but instead of meeting sexy lumberjacks, handsome doctors or cute bartenders, Nora keeps bumping into...Charlie.

She's no heroine. He's no hero. So can they take a page out of an entirely different book?

Loved the middle, ending moved a little quick

Someday I'll be able to split a romance novel over two sittings, but it's not this one.

I love, love, love, loved the first 2/3 of this book. FL's love for her city home and career really resonated with me - definitely this is on my short list for "reverse Hallmark" books. The ending wrapped up too quickly for me, and a little bit too pat, but I did appreciate that FL's sister also lifted some of the childbearing pressure from the main couple and rounded the whole family out. And I really, really loved that we didn't end up sacrificing the place we actually want to live and thrive for love when it seems like the reasons on paper all lined up to do so.
