What is this book about?

Savannah Cade’s dreams are coming true. The Claire Donovan, editor-in-chief of the most successful romance publishing company in the country, has requested to see the manuscript Savannah’s been secretly writing. The only problem: she’s an editor for a different company, and their philosophy is only highbrow works are worth printing and romance should be reserved for the lowest level of Dante’s inferno.

But when Savannah drops her manuscript during a staff meeting and nearly exposes herself to the whole company—including William Pennington, the new boss and son of the romance-despising CEO herself—she has no choice but to hide the manuscript in a hidden room.

When she returns, she’s dismayed to discover that someone has not only been in her hidden nook but has written notes in the margins—quite critical ones. But when Claire’s own reaction turns out to be nearly identical to the scribbled remarks, and worse, Claire announces that Savannah has six weeks to resubmit before she retires, Savannah finds herself forced to seek the help of the shadowy editor after all.

As their notes back and forth start to fill up the pages, however, Savannah finds him not just becoming pivotal to her work but her life. There’s no doubt about it: she’s falling for her mystery editor. If she only knew who he was.

My review:

What a fun read! There was humor, fun characters, and most importantly, sweet romance. Savannah and her mysterious editor have witty conversations and then there are the sparks flying between her and a co-worker. I anxiously turned the pages to find out what fun and romance was ahead.

I loved Savannah right from the start. She was not only a bright character, but so real and relatable. While she could have gotten weighed down by her obstacles she channeled her energy into improving her life and the lives of others around her. Plus she was completely humble in doing so.

Then there was the question of who was helping Savannah with her manuscript. I rooted for one very nice and perceptive man that kept showing up to boost her confidence. No spoilers, but it ended with all the warm feelings I want my romances to end with.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

Humor wrapped sweet romance.

What I didn’t like about this book:

Nothing. I really enjoyed this one.

Would I recommend this book to others? Definitely. This was such a fun story that leaves the reader feeling good well after it ends. This is a standalone story.
