Summary: Not to jinx it or anything, but the stars seem to finally be aligning for Will Cowen. After accepting a dream promotion at one of New York City’s most renowned publishing houses and moving in with his oldest friend, he’s ready to dive headfirst into this new chapter and take the literary world by storm – that is, until he crosses paths with Graham Austin.

No matter how hard he tries, he can’t help but put the wrong foot forward in front of the all-business and inconveniently gorgeous heir to the publishing empire.

So, when a heartbreakingly beautiful manuscript lands on his desk, Will seizes the opportunity for a win. Could this prized new author be his big break or, his downfall?

Will’s confidence and hope for his professional future is obliterated when the author ghosts him at an important publishing event. Fueled by insecurity and an open bar, he finds himself in need of comfort, which comes from the least likely person, the normally cold and distant Graham. This small glimpse behind Graham’s icy exterior is the spark that sweeps these two up in an epic and unforeseen romance.

As his author’s manuscript begins to take shape, the words that initially brought them together become more and more tangled, making it painfully obvious to Will that despite your best efforts, there is truly no hiding from the past.

But can it be rewritten?

This book had me in its grip from the very beginning. A publishing industry story? A story about the people who help the books I love to read out in the open? And there’s ROMANCE? Oh I am there.

Will is an eager little ball of sunshine and anxiety and I love him so much. Like seriously, so much. The pain he carries inside of him makes me want to hug him so hard and tell him he is deserving of love. I was so nervous for him in the beginning, remembering how hard it can be going into a new job, especially one which seems like a dream.

Graham seems like a tough nut to crack, gruff and uber professional to the point of being rude. But it turns out he’s just waiting for a little more love as well.

The relationship between these two seems to move super quick, and the book was a quick read even at 300 pages and I loved every single dang minute of it.

The angst in these pages held me, and made me cry, but the love had me biting my lip so I wasn’t grinning like an idiot in public.

I loved it.
