ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES' BEST ROMANCES OF THE YEAR!

"Intimate and unflinching."—
New York Times

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

An Indie Next Pick
A LibraryReads Hall of Fame Pick
One of Amazon's Best Romances of July

Named a Most Anticipated Summer Read by Buzzfeed, Glamour, Town & Country, BookRiot, and more!

A ghostwriter and a struggling actor help each other on the page and in the bedroom in this steamy romantic comedy from the
New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Talk.

Chandler Cohen has never felt more like the ghost in "ghostwriter" until she attends a signing for a book she wrote—and the author doesn’t even recognize her. The evening turns more promising when she meets a charming man at the bar and immediately connects with him. But when all their sexual tension culminates in a spectacularly awkward hookup, she decides this is one night better off forgotten.

Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done. Her next project is ghostwriting a memoir for Finn Walsh, a C-list actor best known for playing a lovable nerd on a cult classic werewolf show who now makes a living appearing at fan conventions across the country. Chandler knows him better from their one-night stand of hilarious mishaps.

Chandler’s determined to keep their partnership as professional as possible, but when she admits to Finn their night together wasn’t as mind-blowing as he thought it was, he’s distraught. He intrigues her enough that they strike a deal: when they’re not working on his book, Chandler will school Finn in the art of satisfaction. As they grow closer both in and out of the bedroom, they must figure out which is more important, business or pleasure—or if there's a way for them to have both.

Rachel Lynn Solomon is a romance virtuoso and her readers have the best seats in the house."—Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Soulmate Equation

“Rachel Lynn Solomon’s Business or Pleasure is a total delight. It’s sexy, smart, and so freaking fun—I couldn’t stop smiling!

"Rachel Lynn Solomon is an auto-buy author for me, and Business or Pleasure might be her best yet!

I thought this was a WONDERFUL read. I am convinced that Rachel Lynn Solomon can do no wrong! I honestly have 0 negative things to say about this book. I loved the characters, their open communication, the sex-positive environment, the traveling to different cities. I also loved their development throughout the story. The audio for this book was also fantastic. So much fun!

Perfection

This book is perfect. The narration in outstanding and the story is sweet and steamy and so heartwarming. And Finn is the most wonderful book boyfriend. Chandler is delightful as well. I loved everything about this book. It’s definitely one of my favorite books of the year. So good.

Perfection!

Chemistry, but also slow burn. Characters that are like real humans, flaws and all. Insta-list, but not Insta-love. And they don’t get engaged/married two seconds after falling in love (my biggest pet peeve).

Cute, hot and heavy…in the good way!

This story line is a cute; a romantic story with very hot and heavy details on the sex scenes, practically pornographic and so good!

Political Agenda

I think my 12 year old daughter is a better writer than this author. Chandler hates men and all the men in the book are weak with mental health issues. This is a feminist propaganda book. So incredibly boring too.

LOVE this book

I love that this shows that communication really is key in a relationship. Not everything is perfect from the get go, and you have to put in effort to make it work. I love how different and unique this story is. Finn and Chandler are so amazing. I LOVE them. The audio was so great, too. I loved it!

Another great read from RLS

Fantastic narration, great story line, we’ll paced, and all around really enjoyable. Definitely a feel good book with depth and conflicts that weren’t overly contrived.

Pleasure for sure!

Loved this book from the very first word. Could not stop listening. RLS is a phenomenal writer with a unique voice- great flow, cleaver banter, and a wonderful way to discuss tough subjects. I love how emotionally complex her characters are without resorting to unnecessary drama.

This was fantastic!

I came in with zero expectations, but it was phenomenal. Her confidence, his shyness. What is not to love.

Loved every minute

It was perfect from page one, where they meet at a bookstore. Fast forward to a book filled with laughter, vulnerability, and a lot of spice. This has to be one of my favorite books of the year.
