Love Story by Lindsey Kelk
4.25
What happens when you have written a romance novel and published it anonymously with a pseudo name because you are surrounded by a family who are the best people working in the literary fiction genre and look down upon steamy romance? Chaos right? Lots and lots of chaos, especially if you have to share the secret with a person you would never want and if that's not enough, you have to share a room with him now! Sounds interesting, it's just the beginning!
Love Story by Lindsey Kelk is contemporary romance fiction where Sophie Taylor who is hiding her identity under the name of Este Cox is the author of the mysterious bestseller author of Butterflies—which has brought a storm in the publishing world—needs the help of devilish handsome and incredibly hot Joe Walsh, the senior creative director in the publishing house she has published her book with. What would happen when her secret identity comes under threat of being no longer a secret and they have to spend time with their family and find themselves sharing a cottage? Read the book to find out.
In this enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, small-town romance, Lindsey Kelk shines with every character. The relationship between Sophie and Joe comes with all the fireworks, drama, misunderstandings, emotional depth, and swoon-worthy moments. Sophie and Joe are going to stay with me for a long time!
The relationship of Sophie with her siblings William and Charlotte and her parents is a beautiful representation of the gap between siblings and how it shapes their relationship with each other and with their parents. The friendship of Sophie with Sarah was another highlight for me and it is always heartwarming to see such beautiful friendships!
Kelk shines in the moments where she has provided the depth and layers of the importance of the romance genre and its preconceived notions as fantasy, escapism, and how it gives women unrealistic expectations. Oh, what a wonder to witness a romance author talking and debating on the importance and literary merit of romance as a genre in romance fiction! Kelk also phenomenally showed the close-knit nature of the publishing houses and the contrast between the lifestyle in the city and the countryside.
For the lovers of romance, this book is a delight to read. If you are in search of a romance (in fiction
