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.
