A review by pagesofglory22
In Broad Strokes by Jordan Riley Swan

4.0

Thanks to NetGalley and Story Garden Publishing for a free e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This book starts off with a group of people taking a vow never to get married. Tyler thinks this will be easy – he can barely talk to girls, after all. He’s incredibly shy and nervous. But when he realizes he might lose his best friend because of how boring he is, he decides to do something completely out of his comfort zone.

Enter Chase – an aspiring art student who needs someone to model for a nude portrait. If Tyler models for her, it’s a win-win – she gets to finish her project, and he challenges himself. But when a mistake sends the nude painting of Tyler across to country to be displayed, the two must go on a road trip to recover it.

This was a super fun read, and I loved that both Tyler and Chase were such unique characters that complemented each other. One of my favourite tropes is where everything that can go wrong does go wrong, and this book certainly falls into that category.

I also loved the people they met along the way, and the acts of kindness sprinkled throughout the book. It was heartwarming and entertaining, and definitely unlike any other romance I’ve ever read.
