About this listen

When Kate, a fledgling bookseller, decides to open a bookshop that celebrates the kinds of genre fiction she loves to read (popular and fun!), she's surprised to find that not everyone in the town is as excited as she is.

Least excited of all? Sebastian, owner of the highbrow bookshop across the road, has rules for everything: the kind of books he sells, the clothes he wears, and the people he dates (no one local).

When the pair find themselves working together on the town's literary festival, their growing attraction becomes harder and harder to ignore. Professional rivalry aside, just one steamy kiss can't mean anything, can it?

You have to break some rules to write your own story...

Don't miss this utterly charming, spicy, enemies-to-lovers rom-com from Jackie Ashenden! Tropes: rival bookshop owners; enemies-to-lovers; small-town setting; grumpy-sunshine; forced proximity.
