A review by elvang
Improvisation by Karis Walsh
4.0
I was just reading a blog about five common romance novel tropes, the first one being the fake or forced relationship which ends up becoming the real deal. I quite like this trope.
Tina is a creative genius, a gifted musician and a bitter, bitter woman. With her father gone, she was left to nurse her dying mother while still in her teens. Her simmering resentment towards her dad's family and her desire to never give up her freedom has led Tina to a lifetime of one night stands and no commitments. When her cousin Peter asks her to design an advertising promotion for his family business in Spokane, Tina's Seattle friends insist she meet up with their friend Jan.
Jan is a geometry teacher with family obligations of her own. She longs for a settled life after a chilhood of moving from city to city with her military dad.
Walsh pads this story of reluctant love with quality secondary couples, in depth looks at the lives of both of her mains and a sweet slow building romance. It was easy to get caught up in the banter between Jan and Tina and root for their HEA.
I know I can count on a pleasant escapist read when I tuck into a novel by Karis Walsh.
