New Release Review: Finding Mr. Write by Kelley Armstrong
About the Book
*Synopsis from Goodreads
A fun romantic comedy about a woman writing under a male pseudonym and the man she hires to play the role in public.
Daphne McFadden is tired of rejection. After submitting her manuscript to dozens of agents, she's gotten rejection after rejection, and now it's time for something drastic. And so, Daphne submits her manuscript again… under a man's name.
Imagine her surprise when it sells for big money at an auction and soon becomes a publicity darling. Only she needs a man to play her super macho alter ego Zane Remington. Enter Chris Stanton, who absolutely looks the part of a survivalist and has a talent for pressing her piss‑me‑off‑I‑dare‑you buttons while somehow being endearing at the same time. But Chris has a few secrets of his own, including the fact that he’s really an accountant who has no idea how to chop wood or paddle a canoe. When Daphne's book becomes a bestselling sensation and they're forced to go on tour together, Daphne finds herself wondering if this city‑boy geek is exactly what she needs to push her to claim her dreams.
Review
Finding Mr. Write was an easy read to get into, and I was quick to finish it . It is the first novel I've read by Kelley Armstrong, and it won't be my last!
I enjoyed the premise of the novel, and the development of Chris and Daphne's relationship kept me engaged and connected to the story throughout. Their slow-burn romance was fun and flirty. I enjoyed their banter and thought they had good chemistry.
The conflict that arose was resolved rather swiftly, so the story was very low on the angst and tension.
All in all, it was a very entertaining read. If you're in the mood for a rom-com, check out Finding Mr. Write this summer!

To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is however an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.
