Welcome, Nicole
Evelina! I’m delighted to have Nicole join me to share a little about her
award winning book, Been Searching For You!
Blurb:
Annabeth is a hopeless romantic who
believes in soul mates. In fact, she’s been writing to hers each year on her
birthday since she was 16.
Now, at 34, she’s still holding out hope of
finding Mr. Right even though he’d be fighting an uphill battle to gain her
trust, thanks to a traumatic experience years before that’s left her unable to
commit.
When Annabeth meets a handsome literature
professor named Alex on her 34th birthday, she thinks her quest may finally be
at an end. Things don’t quite go as planned, so Annabeth resolves to do
everything she can over the next year to find the unknown recipient of her
letters. But blind dates, Meetup events and online singles sites have
nothing on what fate has in store for her when a co-worker unexpectedly quits
and Annabeth finds herself working in close quarters with both Alex and her
long ago ex, Nick. Fighting her attraction to one and loathing for the other,
Annabeth is forced to face all of her old insecurities while keeping an eye on
a scheming frienemy who may derail her hopes and dreams.
Written in the tradition of Bridget Jones'
Diary, Kim Gruenfelder’s A Total Waste of Makeup, and Melissa Pimental’s Love
By The Book, it shows that love on the sweet side can exist for the modern
girl, if only she’s willing to trust herself and search hard enough.
Been Searching for You was the winner of
the 2015 Romance Writers of America Great Expectations and Golden Rose
contests.
