Hi guys!
I'm trying a slow turnabout to my old format, at least with my post titles, but emphasis on the SLOW because I don't want Blogger unpublishing my post, so if you notice a difference, you're not wrong! Just, you know, keep it on the down low 😉.
Today on the blog, we welcome two favorites to the site as we feature the latest from author Kathryn Freeman, currently touring with Rachel's Random Resources. See? I told you there were two favorites! If you haven't read a book by this author yet....why...but seriously, pick a title, and just GO WITH IT because you're in for a treat! Like this one...
Nobody Puts Romcoms in the Corner
by
Kathryn Freeman
About the book...
Not an expert, not even close, not in any of this.
But nobody will try harder than me to make you happy.
Sally is a classic romantic and Harry is a classic cynic, but when a drunken bet leads the new flatmates to (badly) recreate ‘the lift’ from Dirty Dancing, and the video goes viral (#EpicRomcomReenactmentFailure), they both realise there’s potential financial benefit in blundering their way through the romcom lexicon for their suddenly vast social media following.
Now, as Harry and Sally bring major romcom moments to new life – including recreating that classic diner scene – their faking it turns to making…out and suddenly they’re living a real life romcom of their own! But like all the greatest love stories, the road to happily ever after is paved with unexpected challenges for this hero and heroine…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the quirky title (LOVE IT!) to the humorous, yet iconic lift scene on the cover (you know you know what romcom movie it's from!), you can't help but feel your heart skip a beat, and a smile spread across your lips for the story within...and that's before you even read anything about it!
The story is sorta grumpy-sunshine with all the goodness of the romcom's that have come before it. If you've ever watched your favorite...let's say the obvious one with the lift scene...and thought that would be SO COOL in real life...these two are about to prove you...wrong, but with a serious humorous twist, and the beginnings of some major sparkage! I mean seriously, what does that scene mean to you? Are you there for the romance, freedom, growth, and confidence, like Sally? Or are you simply thinking that you are witnessing a moment of brut strength that any muscular person could pull off, like Harry? I know I'm with the first camp, and probably most of you are joining me in it, but reading about it being pulled off in "real life" definitely plays out more as expected! 🤣 Then, there's the unexpected, well for them, not me. I had a feeling from the word go about these two, but it's always fun to watch how it all plays out, which brings me to the writing...
A great idea remains just that, an idea, without a great writer to turn samesaid idea into something worth reading! This author has proven time and time again that she knows what it takes to grab romcom fans by the heartstrings and have us following along the pages like the little furry friends did the Pied Piper. You just can't help yourself...and, in truth, you really don't want to! I'd recommend this book, nay this author, as a great add to your must read list during this month of love, or really anytime you want a story to simply self indulge in, feel the love in, and belly laugh with along the way. If you've read this one, tell me...which reenactment was YOUR favorite? Was there one you wished to see?

About author Kathryn Freeman...
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to write a book. It may have had something to do with my obsession with reading romance. Real life interfered and I headed off in a different direction – into the world of science, becoming a pharmacist before joining the pharmaceutical industry. I did end up writing, but it was about disease and medicines. Decades later, I’m finally doing what I always wanted to do.
With a husband who asks every Valentine's Day whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), all the romance in my life is in my head. Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.
