It is very unfair to judge of any reader's conduct without an intimate knowledge of their literary tastes...
Paris Novak is known for three things: her bookshop, Prose & Positivity, being a romance enthusiast, and matchmaking readers with the perfect book. Yet Paris harbors a not-so-romantic secret: she's skeptical about finding her own happily ever after, especially in a town where everyone knows your coffee order.
Once Dax Granger, a horror fan who believes romance is eye-rollingly cheesy, joins Paris's book club, he's instantly smitten with the stubborn woman. And beneath a facade of swagger and book snobbery, Dax is determined to prove to Paris that he's more than just brawn and broad bookshelves.
When Dax proposes a genre-swapping reading challenge, asserting his darker tastes over her fondness for heartwarming fiction, they embark on a unique bookish adventure.
Paris introduces Dax to the hidden depths between the schmaltzy covers of her favorite reads, while he guides her through the thrills of eerie tales. Amid literary sparring, these mismatched bibliophiles find laughter, unexpected friendship, and a slow-burn attraction that neither can deny.
Can a hardcore romantic find common ground with a macabre-loving cynic? Or will their contrasting worlds cause a not-so-happy ending?
If you like sweet, lighthearted romances with a dash of humor, then you'll enjoy this book!
