#BookReview: A Novel Love Story by @ashposton @BerkleyRomance

Synopsis: A professor of literature finds herself caught up in a work of fiction… literally.

Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don’t leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she’s so set on going to her annual book club retreat this year—she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures—no matter what. 

But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like it’s right out of a novel… 

Because it is. 

This place can’t be real, and yet… she’s here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy store’s honey taffy is always sweet, the local bar’s burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. It’s perfect—and perfectly frozen, trapped in the late author’s last unfinished story. 

Elsy is sure that’s why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending. 

Except there is a character in Eloraton that she can’t place—a grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes, an irritatingly sexy mouth and impeccable taste in novels. And he does not want her finishing this book. 

Which is a problem because Elsy is beginning to think the town’s happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.

This title will be released on June 25, 2024.

My Review:  Ashely Poston has a way with words that I can’t quite understand but I sure as hell can admire. The first half of this book you can tell Ashley knows what it means to be a reader and be in a reading community and that is to her and for that I thank her. She said an interview. It is evident that this book is a love letter to the book community when it comes to the actual plot I was hooked by chapter 3, and I couldn’t get enough. This book left me wanting every single page, the best way! I am highly recommending this one to anyone who wants an escape from reality.
