Description

Kara Sullivan is definitely not avoiding her deadline. After all, it's the week of her best friend's wedding and she's the maid of honour, so she's got lots of responsibilities. She's a bestselling romance novelist with seven novels under her belt, so she's a pro. Looming deadlines don't scare her, and neither does writer's block, which she most certainly does not have. She's just eager to support Cristina as she ties the knot. Right? Right.

But then who should show up at the rehearsal dinner but Kara's college ex-boyfriend, Ryan? Turns out he's one of the groom's childhood friends, and he's in the wedding party, too. Considering neither Kara nor Ryan were prepared to see each other ever again, it's decidedly a meet-NOT-cute.

However, when Kara sits down to write again the next day, her writer's block is suddenly gone. Are muses real? And is Kara's muse... Ryan?

Talk Bookish to Me delves into the unexpected challenges and inspirations found in the life of a romance novelist, making it an enchanting read.

About the Author

Kate Bromley lives in New York City with her husband, son, and her somewhat excessive collection of romance novels (it's not hoarding if it's books, right?). She was a preschool teacher for seven years and is now focusing full-time on combining her two great passions - writing swoon-worthy love stories and making people laugh. Talk Bookish to Me is her first novel.
