Nora Stephens is a ruthless literary agent. Books are her job, and her job is her life. She doesn’t have the time or energy to commit to a serious relationship, and she’s used to being alone. That’s why she loves books so much—unlike people, they can’t surprise her anymore; she’s figured out every possible scenario. Charlie Lastra is the editor-in-chief and the biggest jerk Nora has ever met. Unfortunately (for Nora), the books she chooses always turn out to be bestsellers. A few years ago, Charlie rudely rejected one of the books Nora wanted to sell him. Since then, to put it mildly, they’ve been on bad terms. The most important person in Nora’s life is her younger sister, Libby, who’s just gotten pregnant for the third time and really, really needs one good night’s sleep. Despite her initial reluctance, Nora agrees to trade her New York office for a month-long vacation to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina. She plans to let loose and let go of her need to control everything. Even if that means wearing a flannel shirt. From a thrift store. And going on a date with a lumberjack or a lobsterman. This August is shaping up to be interesting, but what the hell is the grumpy Charlie Lastra doing here? Book Lovers is a hilarious, charming, and delightfully ironic book, full of warmth and optimism, so characteristic of the author's pen. It draws you in and engages you from the very first page. A must-read for book lovers and a reminder that you don't have to resemble the heroine of a romantic novel to experience love as a romance novel.
