By the Book, by Jasmine Guillory. Both of the books I was reading yesterday were slightly tiresome, so I picked up this one, and it totally hit the spot. Guillory writes fun modern romance novels that usually have Black main characters; this time Isabelle is a writer and editorial assistant who finds herself temporarily living with a handsome author with writer’s block, at his fancy Santa Barbara home. There are hints of “Beauty and the Beast”! It turns out Disney was the publisher, so there’s a very high ratio of conversation to sex scenes, which I appreciated.
