Have you read this small town romcom yet?👀📙

About this time 3 years ago, I was halfway finished with this book. From the first chapter, I was completely smitten with the story and the characters. They made writing fun on the most stressful, uneasy days. I always get nostalgic when a certain time of year hits and I think back on the books I was writing during that season. Brushed By You is no different💛🌻

Out on Amazon and B&N!

3/13 Edited to

... Read moreReading 'Brushed By You' was truly an immersive experience that brought the quaint charm of small town life and romance alive. The author’s vivid depiction of Repose, Tennessee, paints a beautiful backdrop where characters are relatable and richly developed. Ophelia Hawthorne’s journey from a struggling city artist to finding unexpected love and community resonated deeply with me, especially her artistic passion and determination. Dash Sullivan, the brooding but protective farmhand, adds depth with his guarded heart and gradual transformation as he opens up to Ophelia. What I particularly enjoyed was the clever blend of romance with elements of mystery and suspense, which kept the story engaging beyond the typical romcom tropes. The suspense involving a town threat adds stakes that make the characters’ growth and relationships more compelling. The chemistry between Ophelia and Dash feels genuine and heartfelt, elevating the story from a simple love tale to a meaningful exploration of vulnerability and trust. For those who appreciate character-driven stories set in cozy, vivid communities, this book strikes the right balance of warmth, humor, and intrigue. It’s a wonderful read to curl up with during any season, bringing both nostalgic and uplifting vibes. If you enjoy small town romance novels with unexpected plot twists and memorable characters, 'Brushed By You' is definitely a must-read that I highly recommend checking out on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
