GRR Reviews Writing Mr. Right by T.K. Leigh

Writing Mr. Right is an interesting love triangle with a bit of romance writer 4th wall plus some family issues. It makes for a good story, but the MMC was a bit too flat for me to make him perfect. He's just... too nice.

Molly Brinks is a magazine columnist by day... and an erotic romance writer by night. She's almost 30, and she's coping with her dysfunctional family. Her mother ran off one day leaving both kids (Molly and brother) with the father. Decades later, her father has severe dementia in a nursing home. Molly is also having a severe case of writer's block, with a deadline due soon, and her muse, Daniel, isn't helping at all, and in fact, made things worse when Molly figured out he has a wife and kids. Daniel claimed he has permission to be in an open relationship, but Molly had enough. Her drama brought her to the attention of her father's physician, Noah, who had experienced a similar loss of a parent. And from that friendship, love grew. But can Molly commit to anyone, when even she doesn't know what love is? Is she just using Noah as a muse? or could Noah be... Mr. Right?

Having a "muse" for an author is often an interesting source of conflict in a story esp. when the muse did not know he is the inspiration for one of the characters. I however, find Noah to be a bit too passive nice-guy to be much of a character, which is why this didn't get a higher score.
