About This Book:
She’s a romance writer burned out on love. He’s her famous baseball star ex-husband. The last man she wants to be forced to work with is the one who broke her heart.
Rom-com writer Gracie Parker hasn’t written a bestseller since she and her husband, a major league baseball star, divorced five years ago. On thin ice with her publisher—and with a looming deadline—Gracie couldn’t have picked a worse time for a painful injury that has her flat on her back. At this point, she’d accept help from anybody . . . except her first love and ex-husband, Noah Parker.
The baseball season has just ended in massive disappointment for Noah. He’s facing the stark reality that he gave up everything for a career that’s let him down and that it might be too late to get back the one person he should’ve held on to. So when Gracie’s nephew calls, saying Gracie’s looking for a tenant for her next-door rental, it feels like it’s meant to be.
All Gracie cares about is turning in her manuscript on time, which is directly at odds with Noah’s attempts to win her back, even if she is slightly charmed by his kindness. But can people ever really change? Then Noah throws a curveball that could give Gracie the extension she needs, but it will mean working directly with Noah, something she’s not sure she can face. With no other choice, and everything on the line, Gracie must decide if it is too late for a second draft of their own love story.
MY REVIEW: ★★★★★ 5/5
If you’re looking for a romantic comedy that delivers on heart, humor, and a touch of faith, First Love, Second Draft by Becca Kinzer is a must-read!
A new-to-me author, Kinzer delivered a well-paced, laugh-out-loud story that features sizzling banter, hilarious situations and undeniable chemistry between Gracie, an injured writer struggling to meet a deadline and her ex-husband, Noah, a Major League Baseball player. Add in a charming second storyline featuring Gracie’s nephew Matt and his best friend, Rachel, and you've got double the romance, double the laughs, and double the heart!
I couldn't have loved this book more. With quirky side characters, clever dialogue, and just the right amount of tension and tenderness, this clean, second chances rom-com is the perfect balance of entertainingly and witty. Plus, the audiobook narration made the story even more entertaining!
In short, First Love Second Draft had me grinning from start to finish and is a definite recommendation from me to you.
