A review by smalltownbookmom
For the Love of the Bard by Jessica Martin
4.0
This was a sweet second chance at love romance between two former high school flames who both find themselves home for the summer and are forced to work together on the town's Centennial Shakespeare Festival play.
Miranda is a successful writer and literary agent with writer's block who returns home when her mother gets a scary cancer diagnosis. Unbeknownst to her, her old flame Adam is also home filling in as the local vet while his father is away. Helping take some responsibilities off her mother, Miranda takes over as director of the play, while Adam is one of the main set designers. Cue lots of forced proximity heat as these two figure out if they can forgive past wrongs and make a relationship work as adults.
Full of witty banter, a great cast of secondary characters (including two quirky animal sidekicks) and a ton of small town charm. I really really enjoyed this debut and loved the audio narrated by Gilli Messer. Recommended for fans of Blame it on the Brontë's, Meet me in the margins or The dead romantics (other books with female writers). Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance review copy! I am excited to see what's next in this new series!
