De: Kay Cove

Narrado por: Kasi Hollowell, Caden Hart

She wanted to write a bestseller. She wasn't ready for the plot twist.

Being an indie romance author was supposed to be a dream come true. But after publishing umpteen books, I still haven't "made it," and now, I'm just waiting for the dark cloak of insignificance to completely snuff out my career.

I decide to roll the dice on a marketing guru who swears he can yank me out of obscurity. But after a frantic search for "book boyfriend material" and an unexpected bar encounter, I accidentally blow my entire budget on an escort.

Forrest is a charming single dad by day and hotter-than-sin escort by night. But before I can fire him and ask for a refund, he reminds me how I got here in the first place… I'm in desperate need of inspiration.

He might be a walking red flag, but Forrest is ready to be my muse, which means spending the next three months helping me "research" my next bestseller. (Hey, I'm manifesting here.) Our game plan? Act out all the romance novel tropes that make a bingeable love story: brooding billionaires, masked men, cowboys in small towns, and even swoon-worthy green flags.

Forrest plays all the book boyfriend parts perfectly. So perfectly, I'm starting to wonder if his feelings for me might be real, or if he's just earning his paycheck. I'm not sure if I'm trying to write a love story or live one out.

After all, there is no such thing as happily ever after with a professional escort… right?

Narrated in duet style.

Loved this audiobook

Rating: 5 stars 🌟

Thank you to Valentine PR & Kay Cove for the ARC of this book!

Life got in the way and I wasn’t able to read this until after release day but, blessing in disguise, because I got to listen to the audiobook as I read along! Omg, you outdid yourself with this one Kay. The emotions I felt reading through Sora’s journey as an author and the complicated relationship she had with her father. I cried everytime she encountered a hurdle or hurtful word. Forrest is just perfection, dealing with his own journey as well but bravely sacrificing a “normal” life by society’s definition for the sake of making sure his family is taken care of. I loved reading his protectiveness of Sora, doing anything to make her smile or feel hopeful for her future as an author. Truly just such a good book, I definitely recommend picking this one up!!

LOVED this book!

I had read some of Kay Coves Books in the camera shy series and so I figured this would be along the lines of those, which I liked as well. But this book, I don’t know if it was the characters, the story line, the plot, the development or what…but I LOVED this book so much. It is now my absolute favorite!

So good.

I just LOVE a great good old love story!!! This story was lovely. A nice break from the typical dark romance that I would typically read.

Kay Cove is just breaking the surface

I have read all of Kay cove, and so far Forrest and Zora are the most relatable couple. I understand how both are attracted to each other mentally and physically. The was a fun read and I cannot wait for her next book.

Kay Cove always makes my heart happy

loved the narrator's they really brought the story to life! Was such a great story loved every second of it!
