Bestselling romance author Margot Bradley escapes to a remote Alaskan resort to reinvent herself and write her first murder mystery. She has to escape because a online event reveals her disbelief in Happily Ever Afters, Margot finds herself canceled by her fans and publisher. Desperate to support her chronically ill sister, she reluctantly embarks on this new genre, but the rugged resort proprietor, Dr. Forrest Wakefield, complicates matters. He left his promising career as a cancer researcher to care for his ailing father, and he’s not looking for any distractions. As Margot navigates moose encounters and unexpected romantic tropes, she and Forrest discover a deep connection that forces them to confront their fears and the realities of their pasts. The story is a delightful blend of humor, emotional depth, and clever nods to classic romance tropes like meet-cutes and forced proximity. I thought this was a unique premise and the fun characters make it a great read filled with laughs, heartfelt moments, and a touch of whimsy that resonates long after the last page.
This book was one of my favorites that I read over the Christmas break. Mostly because of the playful exploration of beloved romance tropes, coupled with a fresh and self-aware narrative. Margot's journey of self-discovery and her relationship with Forrest encapsulate the charm and warmth that fans of the genre crave. Also, hello, hot doctor!!! This debut novel is a joyful celebration of romance that balances humor with heartfelt moments, making it a must-read for anyone who loves a good love story. It’s a great tribute to the romance genre and romance readers. I loved it! The book comes out April 1, 2025, so you have to rush out to get it.
