This Valentine’s Day, Daisy Murray has her heart set on binge-watching rom-coms. Instead, an earthquake traps her inside a bakery with its impossibly rude and insufferably handsome owner and head baker. They already have a history: she’s always smiled, he’s always scowled. Where better to finally get to know each other than amid the disaster? Then again, they have no choice. Besides, it could have its sweet, undeniable, and unpredictable perks.
Jasmine Guillory’s Drop, Cover, and Hold On is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute, irresistibly romantic stories about finding love when and where you least expect it. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Let’s make a date of it.

My Review: Have you ever found a restaurant or cafe that you love and then visit it over and over again? Yeah, me too. Would you keep going if you thought the owner hated you? I don't know if I would, but our main character does. She's forced to face the owner when they are both trapped in the cafe, with a box of her favorite pastries, after an earthquake strikes. As they eat the pastries and start talking, they discover that all is not as it seems.
This book is perfect for what it is—a short and adorable novella with a happy ending.
"Drop, Cover, & Hold On" was a great introduction to Jasmine Guillory, and I will definitely be looking for more of her works. The story is sweet, engaging, and filled with those little moments that make you smile. The characters are well-drawn, and the plot, while simple, is executed with charm and warmth. If you’re in the mood for a quick, heartwarming read, this novella is just the ticket.
