Recommended Stories. Atlanta Black Star. Write secret love letters to each other. There are just so many elements to this story and I enjoyed them all. I highly recommend this book!
I picked this book after reading Mia. Sounded good. How could I go wrong? It starts out so well that I was sure I had at least a 4-star contemporary romance in my hands.
The H, although very successful, is not especially happy. He lost his true love to leukemia many years ago and can't seem to move on. His literary character Jack mirrors this emotional issue and it has been suggested to author Emmett that fictional Jack needs to find a love interest for the next book of the series. Emmett can't seem to get inspired to do this and goes out wandering his NYC neighborhood. That leads him to meeting our heroine Fiona, new to NYC, who's in the diner he enters in his nighttime search for someone who'll inspire him to come up with a woman for his fictional character to fall in love with.
Up to here this is a great story. It's cleverly written, integrating first draft chapters from Emmett's new book and chapters from Fiona's attempt at historical romance into the mix. Their fictional characters even talk to them, chastising the authors when the story does not go along as the characters feel it should.
But, unfortunately, it deteriorates for me rapidly, losing its cleverness and becoming just another sexy CR lust-fest. How many times, for example, did I have to read about Fiona's nipples? They almost became another character in the story. And instead of continuing with the clever dialogue of the first third of the book, the interactions of H and h, whether in person, in letters, or via text, were just endless talk about their physical attraction for each other.
I want to kiss you. I want to hold you. I want to lurve you. I want to have sex with you this way and that way and the other ways. The best thing about this story is the hero's relationship with his sister and with his "favorite" niece Bettina.
Those conversations were a lot of fun. Bettina was cute as a button and the brains behind the letters the two lovers sent to each other that were to be destroyed after reading. Maybe you had to be there, but when you get to this part of the story you will see what I mean and possibly say, "Aww. She's especially good at dialogue and at putting children in stories. But the good beginning of this one fizzled out and I felt the last half lacked any nuance or subtlety.
That's probably just me. Readers who like characters to spend most of their time thinking about sex or talking about sex or having sex will enjoy this. Anne OK. This one is such fun to read and puts lots of grins on your face. And, if nothing else hooks you, think 4-ft. My favorite from Kayley Loring. Fiona and Emmett were a classic case of meant-to-be! The dual POVs maintain a strong connection between the two making them and their story really endearing.
And for once, I was more than willing to agree with those who say that age is but a number. The relationship Emmett shared with his young niece, Bettina, was a delightful addition to the story. Bolstering this fantastic story with three unexpected epilogue s — yes! Gitte TotallyBookedBlog. We love, love, love her stories! Our reading tastes were certainly sated with this book. She injects just enough drama to make our hearts flip flop, whilst having us in fits of riotous laughter, and her ability to perfectly push and pull our emotions with the vulnerability of her characters really hits our hearts.
Not the woman, but the cautious heart. Yes, Emmett has it all, but love is something he avoids. One thing Emmett does need is inspiration — his character Jack Irons, needs to find love. I need inspiration. Fiona needs inspiration too. Since landing in New York her man pickings have been slim, so the inspiration for her character William Dexter has dried up.
Fiona has never known the love of a man, Emmett has loved and lost — they may be different, but in other ways, so similar. We loved Fiona and Emmett and their madcap friends and family. The epilogue both bewildered and delighted us and giggling like crazy ha-ha! Audio review, and second read through!
This audio heightened and intensified this whole book for me! She is has such a hilariously sexy way of writing that makes me squirm in my chair, and cry with intense laughter at the same time. The Love Interest is incredible. I already knew this having read it before, but the audio really brought the characters to life in my mind. I love the slightly forbidden and age gap so I was all over this like an Oreo craves cold milk!! Fantastical, super sexy and love so good it makes you drop to your knees.
If the first few seasons of Game of Thrones kissed me, it would feel like this. Never mind. Nothing else could ever feel like this.
Jeeves Reads Romance. This couple's meet cute was just a little bit magical, and that bantery goodness kept the magic alive throughout the book. I loved the opposites attract vibe, and I absolutely adored this couple together. I can always count on this author for storylines that feel distinctly different than the norm, and this is another great one. The story follows Fiona 25 , an aspiring author who came to New York City to go to grad school and pursue her dream.
On a night when she's feeling particularly alone, Fiona meets a sexy stranger. It's clear from the start that Emmett 35 is moody, broody, and too handsome for his own good, but that only makes Fiona want to get to know him better.
They spend one magical evening together and both hope that it will lead to something more, but their budding relationship is sidelined by an unexpected issue.
It turns out that Emmett is actually the author who will be teaching Fiona's writing class this semester, and there's no way they can be together without tanking his teaching career before it even gets started. But the sexual tension is palpable from the start, and the forbidden nature of Emmett and Fiona's relationship means that their every interaction is tense and filled with the promise of more.
The swoony moments, though? Are everything. I loved the tender interactions the most, and the transformation of Emmett from start to finish is so fulfilling. I would've liked a few more sweet moments and a few less excerpts from Emmett and Fiona's novels, but the letter-writing and storytelling are a huge part of what makes this feel so unique.
It feels distinctive from the first page - yet completely like the author's voice - which is one of the things I love most about her books. Fiona is fiercely independent and her vibrancy is what makes Emmett come alive again.
It's a little sweet, a lot sexy, and has the kind of chemistry that's combustible. Well this was a waste of time The Romantic Rush Blog. Deftly crafted, adorably witty, and effortlessly swoony, The Love Interest is a romantic comedy masterpiece. Brilliantly creative, light but emotionally resonant, this is the kind of story that both absorbs you and charms.
We have everything we love about Kayley- the sharp humor, the delightful sweetness, the frenetic chemistry, and the innovative narrative approach- all working in perfect symphony to deliver an unforgettably hopeful and endearing story. My heart is all a flutter!
The Love Interest plays out like the reels of your favorite, perfectly crafted romantic comedy movie. From the unforgettable and unique meet cute to the happily ever after, The Love Interest dazzles page after page. Like so many Kayley stories before, this story is deliciously rich with inventive humor and charming characters- from our quirky and perfectly matched hero and heroine to the lovable and catalytic secondary characters that orbit and enrich their romance.
And we have our heroine Fiona- the bright eyed NYC newbie just beginning her career as a Regency romance writer. Emmett is trapped in his past, and while his hero seems ready for a love interest, he himself is not. Their chance encounter inspires the direction of their work- helps them envision the love story they need for their characters, but also sparks something neither expected but both somehow needed- they find their OWN love interest in each other.
I loved these characters. They are nuanced, interesting, and here I found an even deeper emotional chord, especially with our reluctant hero. Both are captivating in their own way- quirky, vivid, and truly clever. We have the usual witty banter, the creative ways Kayley use different written modalities to express parts of this story, and of course some delicious steam.
We get more angst and emotional longing, ALL that delicious chemistry just brewing. All the fun antics, humor, and story with in a story brilliance aside, the heart of this story is about taking a chance with your heart, about leaning in when someone makes your heart come alive. It's a beautifully straight forward theme, poignant and powerful.
And Emmett and Fiona embody it perfectly. I also just LOVED all the different angles through which we get this story- including the stories within the stories.
Not to mention, both fictional heroes are comedic gold. And, I loved the subtle nods Kayley gives to both the quirks and challenges of being a writer. Truly innovative and thought provoking story telling- I found myself marveling at its cleverness over and over again. From the first pages where I found myself both laughing in merriment and shedding unexpected but powerful tears, I knew this story would be special.
There are truly no storytellers out there like Kayley Loring- and the Love Interest is a perfect example of the talent of her craft and the authenticity of her voice. She reminds us just how magical loving can be- helps us all fall in love all over again with the beauty of falling in love. Every story is just as compelling and unique as the last, but the Love Interest is truly special, and now a personal favorite.
To have your heart swell with love and joy, to fell full of hope and life. There is not greater feeling-and one that somehow Kayley Loring invokes in me every. Simply sensational! But, like, in a really good way. Not a dangerous kootch burn way. Their first meeting and subsequent time spent together is sweet, sexy, and perfectly romantic! I loved these two together so much! Their letter-writing is so swoony.
And I just love how snarky they can be with each other. Fiona is the perfect funny, smart, and snarky lead female. I adored here and her hippy-dippy parents! And I loved her passion for life and commitment to follow her life goals, even when everyone told her they weren't viable. And Emmett is serious and stern, but funny and witty. And talk about HOT. You can feel the chemistry and passion between Fiona and Emmett jumping off the page! These characters are both authors and part of this book had excerpts from their WIP novels in it.
I really love how Kayley Loring uses alternative communication to further her stories, but these book chapters within the story felt a bit clunky to me. I ended up skimming those sections after a while.
Other readers might really love these sections, but they weren't my favorite. The Love Interest was exactly what I needed. This forbidden Romcom Romance captured me right from the beginning.. I instantly fell in love with Fiona and Emmett. I must say this story was pretty interesting with all the different POVs. It really kept me invested… I think the best thing about this book was the humor. Fiona and her inner dialogue was the best and her Mother…Omg her one lines about the cock Aka rooster had me doubling over in laughter.
This story is about two Authors trying to get through writers block and in the process of them trying to finish their books they both stumble upon love! This story was not only funny, but the chemistry between Fiona and Emmett was sizzling hot and was overall a refreshing story. Alumni , Convocation , School of Art , Student. You have really inspired me. Truly the 20s are formative in life. Mistakes are meant to happen.
