Emma (actually Emmerson) is the daughter of a famous author, and her first (and only) book was adored by literary critics but doesn't sell that well. Aidan is a handsome former prosecutor turned thriller author, whose books do sell like hotcakes, complete with fangirls wanting signed copies. When they ended up in the same local author event, let's just say sparks flew, and not the loving kind. When they met again in a cafe, they decided to learn what really makes each other tick... Can a literary fiction author actually learn something from a "genre hack" and vice versa?
This is definitely Emma's story, as she's the one who changes the most. In fact, I'd say Aidan didn't really change much. Emma basically gained confidence in her own writing voice, and the background of each was put to excellent use, with Aidan talking like a lawyer (prosecutor) making his points hard-hitting. You can ALMOST call it a coming-of-age novel. But the love... Didn't feel that much of it. 4/5
