Jefferey Archer's Old Love meets Jeffrey Deaver's Twisted (IYKYK)
Step 1: Take one consistent romcom churning author, fill her with a longing to write a crime novel
Step 2: Add in her adoring fan, too scared to seek love but loves seeking solace in the arms of a book boyfriend, who makes a wish to be the aforesaid manuscript's protagonist
Step 3: Add in a timid college professor, who seeks adventure in troves of crime novels than in reality
Result : CRI-ROM-COM A laughter fest of epic proportions with old fashioned slasher plots, modern ideologies and fears, discovering you CAN and falling over smiling at the most QUIRKY LOVE STORY EVER!
If you love romcoms, the steady rhythm of falling in love, the misunderstanding, the grand proposals, and stalk your favorite author for manuscript updates and whine about it to your bestie, then you will ADORE Roxie Mitchell! Independent, sassy and a complete adrenaline junkie afraid of nothing more than attachment!
Granted her heart's desire by the Gifter- to be the protagonist in her favorite author's latest manuscript, Roxie is expecting a meet cute and cuddles until the end, sends her back to reality.... it seems perfect - until she comes to realize, to her horror, it is a slasher novel!! She plays to her strengths, her 7 years of self defense training coming to fore - before she kidnaps, errm, grand theft autoed Grant, a humble college prof with a penchant for crime novels.
Together these two bluff, canoodle and sleuth their way through the novel's plots - from minor distractions to the sub plots, the cliches of action movies, the grand finale and the reveal! All wrapped up in a cozy cocoon of banter between the wild, willful and wonderful heroine and the soft, subtle and serious sidekick! It was an ABSOLUTE Riot!!!
My diabolical thank yous to Penguin Books and Netgalley for granting me the ARC!
