Happy BOOK BIRTHDAY to... LOVE ON THE SHELF by Sheila Roberts!

 Happy BOOK BIRTHDAY to Sheila Roberts as LOVE ON THE SHELF hits bookstore and virtual shelves everywhere via Mira/Harper Collins!

💕 Are romance novels ruining love—or rewriting it? The battle lines are drawn—between a romance-loving bookseller and the shock jock determined to tear happily-ever-afters apart. 

👉 I gotta say, I was stoked to check this one out as I've loved my previous time between the pages with this author's works and it didn't disappoint. It's definitely a story that will pull you in if you love bookish characters (her not him), have a liking for enemies-to-lovers (I mean it takes two to tango), and feel fabulous when the banter is just right (*high fives all around*). So if you're looking to kick off your summer romance reading list, I definitely suggest leaving room for this little beauty!

🌟 Is this title on your TBR or have you read this author's work before? What title are you looking forward to this summer?

ABOUT THE BOOK...

💜 Alice Willoughby and her mom run HEA Books, a cozy shop devoted to love stories and the people who crave them. Alice is great at matching customers with their perfect happily-ever-after…she just can’t seem to find her own.

🎤 Enter Parker Black, a disillusioned radio host who’s reinvented himself as a romance-bashing shock jock. Bitter from his breakup with a romance author who turned love into a four-letter word, Parker takes aim at the entire genre—and his on-air rants start stirring up trouble for Alice’s loyal customers and their partners. He’s arrogant, aggravating, and absolutely not book-boyfriend material.

📚 Parker’s crusade leads to spirited debates and bookstore protests, but when unexpected sparks fly between the two of them Alice begins to wonder if her favorite trope—enemies to lovers—might actually be playing out in real life. Parker may claim romance is a lie…but is he protesting a little too much?

🏆 I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for the tropes this one is running first string! Fake dating (even if it's only one-sided, hello plot twist!), kinda sorta enemies to lovers, and I may not play sports or watch sports, but I'll definitely dive feet first into a sports romance! 😉

🌟 What are your favorite tropes? Is this title on your radar?

ABOUT THE BOOK...

Duffy Distefano loves three things: her dad, the family cat, and Minneapolis Coyote football. So after she gets booed out of a game and becomes the internet’s villain following an awful encounter with the team’s beloved mascot, she is disgruntled, to put it mildly. Eager to clear the air, Duffy agrees to an interview on a hit morning show. She doesn’t expect a co-guest to join her—especially not the Coyotes’ star tight end.

When MVP Connor Cunningham gets tasked with damage control to help his team out of a PR nightmare, he finds himself in a highly amusing verbal sparring match with a recently wronged fan on live TV. The interview instantly goes viral, and the public is obsessed with them. Despite his distaste for PR stunts, a strong push from the Coyotes’ PR team to ride the wave results in Connor asking Duffy out. But he quickly discovers being with Duffy is much easier than he anticipated, and somehow it doesn’t feel fake to him. This secret can only blow up, but all he knows is that if he messes things up with Duffy, it’ll be the greatest fumble of his life.

Oozing with chemistry that feels like fireworks and banter that makes you swoon, Lynn Painter delivers her signature blend of heart and humor in this love story that you won’t soon forget.
