Book Blurb

Following a breakup, and riding the waves of resentment, Bobby Devereaux writes a bestselling novel. No longer having a reason to stay in New York, he returns to Iowa where he can spend time working on his family’s farm and making plans for his future. When Liam Rickard, the dashing CEO of Rickard Publishing, turns up unannounced demanding a sequel, Bobby is determined to resist the man’s charms and stick with the goals he’s set for himself. A plan which certainly doesn’t involve writing more novels or falling for one of New York’s most eligible bachelors.

Liam Rickard is looking for something special. He needs a book that’s going to be a bestseller or face losing his position as CEO of his family’s publishing company. Liam is always in charge, at least he was until the hottest new writer in a generation turned his world into chaos, but as much as he tries to stay away, there’s just something about the sexy, young writer that makes him impossible to resist.

Both Bobby and Liam have a lot to lose if their relationship doesn’t work out. When forces conspire against them, will they choose each other, or will they fold under the pressure?

Book Review

I am going to start off with being extremely honest here. At first when I started reading this book I decided I was not going to like it. I cannot say what it was that made me feel this way. Regardless, I kept reading in hopes that it would capture my attention – and low and behold, to my amazement I changed my view on whether I would like this book or not. After getting past he first chapter, I found that the more I read, the more I was enjoying this story. Then before I knew it, I was sucked in and could not stop reading.

 

When Bobby decided to leave his hometown in Iowa and move to New York to pursue a career as a reporter, he never expected it to come to an end with losing his job and then his boyfriend as well. After everything he decides to pack up and go back home to his family.

 

Though being back on his family’s hog farm is not exactly where Bobby saw himself when he imagined his future, it turns out to be good for him. It gives him the opportunity to take everything that happened to him in New York, sit down, and write a novel about it. This is not something he ever saw himself doing and he honestly never thought that it would get published, but that is exactly what happens.

 

Liam is the CEO of his family’s publishing house. He has only been the CEO for about a year but he knows he needs to find the next big hit in the book community because the stocks for his publishing house, along with the sales, have been falling for a while now. So when one of his editors comes to him with a unique book that was sent in to them, Liam is excited about the prospect of what this book could mean for not only the author but his company as well.

 

To Bobby’s surprise the book he wrote becomes a huge hit. Along with the popularity of his book come signing tours, Comic Cons, and lots of guest appearances. Surprisingly the book is also picked up to be made into a movie. This is all great, but Bobby has no intention of writing more books because he does not enjoy all the signings, guest appearances, and constantly having to travel in order to promote the book. He originally wrote the book just to get out along his feelings about everything that happened to him in New York. He never expected it to become as famous as it has.

 

Now that the first book is such a huge success, Liam is determined to make sure that Bobby writes another book that is equally as good as the last, if not better. Since he is not listening to anyone else where writing a new book is concerned, Liam has decided to take matters into his own hands and seek Bobby out on his own territory. So Liam flies to Iowa to convince him. Bobby turns out to not be what Liam was expecting in the least. He is snarky and very determined to never write another book. In a last-ditch effort to try to convince him, Liam volunteers to help on Bobby’s family’s hog farm for the day. Little do Liam or Bobby know this would be the catalyst that changes the course of both their lives in the near future forever.

 

Will Liam be able to convince Bobby to write another book? If so how will it be received by the public? What will happen when attraction between two very different men makes an appearance? What else will happen to these two that will change their lives forever?

 

This was a great read. Once I got into this book, I absolutely could not put it down. There are so many twists and turns that I never saw coming that it left me wanting to find out what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed this read and look forward to more books in this series in the future, if there are plans for more. Incredible read!
