On the brink of losing her job as an English Professor, Athena returns to her small midwestern hometown to find the author behind the spicy retellings of the Brontë sisters classics. Athena hopes that writing the authors biography will save her job, but finding the reclusive writer is proving harder than she thought.

When she gets there, she runs into her ex, Thorne Kent. The one that got away. Now she has to see him every day!! The only solution.. find the author, write the book and RUN!!

After some bickering and banter, Athena and Thorne call a truce and start a friendship, with benefits. 🥵

But will their past and secrets cause this new “friendship” to end as fast as it began?

I really enjoyed this book!! It was fast-paced, fun and witty. I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, such a cool addition. This book made me want to go reread the classics!! 10/10 would recommend!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you to Netgalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for gifting me an eARC in exchange for my honest review.
