Tumblr, once again I come to you on bended knee with a simple question: can I interest you in reading this book I wrote? A book that contains the same witty banter, sharp voice and zany energy as many of my fics, some of which you may have encountered over the years? A book that comes out in October, but is available RIGHT NOW on Netgalley? Comfort Read is a little bit fake dating, a little bit celebrity nonsense, a little bit what would happen if you flipped Notting Hill on its head and made it incredibly gay, and a whole lot of fun. Let me tell you a bit more about it:
π Kit Forrest is officially the saddest man in Cedar Falls. A year after his boyfriend turned down his proposal and left town, Kit's beloved bookstore is falling down around him. The old brick firehouse has overstuffed shelves, a resident orange cat with an attitude problemβ¦ and repairs Kit can't begin to afford. π° Sage Ballard is a hometown boy who got famous, then became a tabloid disaster, and now urgently needs a nice, ordinary boyfriend to convince one very rich investor he's a changed man. Three months of fake dating, and Sawyer's Books will get the cash injection it needs to survive. And itβs not like he has to be actually nice to the guy, right? πΆοΈ Kit thinks Sage is a rude, sunglasses-indoors diva. Sage thinks Kit is an earnest nerd who talks too much. But then something shifts. Sage starts turning up at the bookstore for no particular reason. Kit starts saving him the good armchair. And the catβwho bites everyoneβwon't leave Sage alone. βοΈ By the time the first snow falls, pretending has begun to feel a bit too real. Which would be wonderful, if the whole thing weren't built on lies. You know what they say about small towns and secretsβ¦ π Perfect for fans of KJ Charles, Alexis Hall and Zarah Detand, you can expect:
Fake dating
Celebrity x ordinary guy
Grumpy x sunshine
Small-town romance
Forced proximity / only one bed
Cozy bookstore setting
Slow burn romance
Autumn vibes π§‘
