Bonfire & Bliss Bookstore by Brittanée Nicole

Format & Condition: Paperback, New
Genre: Romance; Contemporary Fiction

After a very public failed engagement, bookstore owner Penny Darling prefers happily-ever-afters on the page. Then her longtime friend Monty returns to Hope Harbor with a proposal: she will help him write a convincing romantic hero, and their fake relationship will keep the town’s matchmaking busybodies occupied.

Part of the Hope Harbor series from the author of Darling Daffodils Farm, this autumn romance pairs friends-to-lovers chemistry with a bookish setting. I recommend it for its cozy fall atmosphere, playful fake-dating premise, and the irresistible possibility that the right person has been there all along.
