Romance by the Book by Sarah Ready

 

Welcome to Romeo, NY where it's not a matter of if you find your soul mate, only when.

Romance by the Book, an all new steamy rom com standalone from author Sarah Ready is available now!

Book-loving librarian Jessie has loved Gavin Williams for practically her whole life. So when a psychic predicts that Gavin is Jessie’s one fated soul mate, she’s ecstatic.

There’s just one itty bitty little problem.

Gavin’s engaged to marry another woman.

What’s a book lover to do? Easy. Check out dozens of romance books, study the (totally realistic) way characters fall in love, and make a foolproof plan on how to win her soul mate (in one week).

Meet cute? Check.

Dance under the stars? Check.

Kiss in the rain? Check.

Romance books don’t lie – it’ll all go perfectly.

Except, there’s another problem. Gavin’s twin brother: William Williams IV.

Jessie has hated William for as long as she’s loved his brother. William is grump to Jessie’s sunshine, standoffish to her extrovert, cold to her warm. And when William learns of Jessie’s plan to derail his brother’s engagement he swears that he’ll do anything to stop her.

But after William and Jessie (unwillingly) share a dance…a romantic dinner…a kiss…Jessie starts to wonder, is William actually her soul mate? Or is this just another one of his games?

She can’t tell, because this romance definitely isn’t going by the book.

REVIEW

Rating: ☆☆☆☆

In a place called Romeo, love is everywhere. It is a place where you find you find your soulmate and live happily ever after.

Librarian Jessie has been waiting for her soulmate, hoping it will be the person she has been in love with since childhood and the prediction seems to support this. Gavin has never been far from her thoughts but never having a chance with him before. Now is her chance except Gavin is back in town for his engagement party. Determined to not lose her soulmate, she sets out to make him notice her and fall for her. Unfortunately for Jessie, Gavin's twin William is equally as determined to not let her stop his brother's wedding.

William is the opposite to his twin. William is more reserved, focussed on work and keeps his emotions locked down. Gavin loves adventure, travel and is outgoing and fun. William has been carrying a secret since childhood that means that he is not going to let her make a mistake.

So Jessie's attempts at winning Gavin over are all straight from romance books and when they are thwarted by William it always ends in disaster and with the reader laughing out loud. William is difficult to like because he is a grouch and reserved but he somehow manages to wheedle his way under your skin. I am conflicted about Jessie in efforts to come between an engaged couple. Ultimately this was an entertaining read and I really enjoyed the focus on the standard moments in romance books.
