[Book Review] Fighting Words by R.S. Grey

Summary

Hate turns to heat when a literary grump meets his deadline savior. 

My assignment is simple: trek to a remote English cottage and convince Nathaniel Foster to let me work with him.

Too bad he’s a complete and utter jerk.

Who slams the door in a poor stranger’s face, leaving them shivering out in the snow?! So much for a warm welcome…

Nathaniel is God’s gift to readers everywhere. My publisher is desperate for his next book, which in turn makes me desperate to help him complete it. So what if he doesn’t want to play nice? I have no choice but to live and work with him in this snow-covered cottage, suffering under his piercing blue stare until it feels like I might combust.

Our heated exchanges by day give way to torturous tension at night. I can’t clock out from his all-consuming presence. I can’t escape my unwanted feelings. When one of our arguments nearly ends in an angry kiss, I worry the writing is on the wall.

But I can do this. I can clench my teeth, ball my fists, and focus on this damn book. If I can just keep the fiction and fantasy between the pages and not between the sheets, I’ll be the hero of the publishing world.

So pick up your pen, Nathaniel—and please, please, stop looking at me like that.

Review

After reading so much fantasy recently, I needed a nice easy romance book and this fit the bill perfectly.

It was funny and sweet and generally, everything I’ve come to expect from an R.S. Grey book. Her stories are some of my favorite comfort reads.

I like both Nate and Summer. Summers’ job is to get Nate to finish his book trilogy that he has been stalling on for the past few years, he does not make this easy for her. I love the banter between both of these characters, they played off each other so well. The story was nicely paced and the romance didn’t feel rushed or forced which was great.

Overall this was a fab little read and I highly recommend it.

My Rating: 4/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟
