About this listen

Lose yourself in this gorgeous new romance from bestselling author Camilla Isley. Perfect for fans of Sarah Adams, Lynn Painter and Jo Watson.

Sometimes, life is stranger than fiction...

When she’s ghosted by yet another Tinder match, Leighton swears off dating for life. Who needs apps and blind dates when she has the perfect-in-every-way (apart from being fictional) heroes of her beloved romance novels?

That night, Leigh finds a second-hand book on her TBR pile that transports her to the small-town of Lakeville Hills, where the heroines wear shorty-shorts and the men drink bourbon. And as Leigh drifts off to sleep, she dreams of billionaire cowboy Killian St Clair, who could win a gold medal for smouldering and bicep flexing.

For a while, Leigh finds it easier to stomach misogynistic supervisors, newly coupled friends, and extravagant bridesmaid duties knowing she can return to Lakeville Hills each evening. Until one day she wakes up to find she’s brought a bit of Lakeville Hills back with her: the impossibly sexy and entirely implausible Killian St Clair is in her apartment.

Now Leigh must help Killian navigate the real world. But as she gets to know the man behind the trope, can she keep her heart safe, or does she risk falling in love with her book boyfriend in real life?

Ok .. and ?

For some reason this book left me so underwhelmed despite the very fun premise
The story is about Leighton, she is an undergrad student who is supposedly smart, but she can't get a guy to commit to her and we see her fail on multiple dates and all good guys are taken, then one day a book lands on her bookshelf, she begins to read it and low and behold .. it's a cowboy romance book, and she finds herself the main protagonist in it !! but the story begins when she wakes up from that world and discovers that the hero Killian has come from the book to our world .. and Leighton must teach him how to adjust to our world
I love my book boyfriends, and I believe they are perfect where they are intended to be .. inside the books, otherwise they will be tainted by this world .. the story wanted to break that mold, but that made the story going nowhere .. because there was no climax in it .. Killian was already in love with Leighton like he was supposed to from the very beginning, and she is defensive AF about everything .. I'm glad it ended in a happy note but I was really underwhelmed with the plot .. it felt very empty

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
