Review of “In Other Words, Love” by Shirley Jump

Publisher Description

She’s been hired to ghostwrite a CEO’s autobiography… Yep, that CEO. The one who broke her heart.

When Kate’s agent gets her the job of writing Trent’s autobiography, she almost balks. The charismatic founder of his own outdoor clothing company dumped her when they were in college. But she needs the money.

Trent’s been so busy lately, he completely forgot he was supposed to be writing a book, and the draft is due soon. He wants Kate as the ghostwriter: she’s experienced, and she was always smart and hard-working. They can keep things professional, right?

In funny and touching ways, the project gives them a fresh perspective on the past, even prompting a road trip to Trent’s hometown that uncovers forgotten feelings. But will they both have the courage to start a new chapter in life?

This second chance romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Guacamole Grilled Chicken Club Sandwiches.

My Review:

I enjoyed this “second chance at love” story.  I especially liked Kate.  She’s a sweet, talented, and funny girl.  I loved her devotion to her grandmother, who gives her some wise advice as they do some gardening together.  But Kate’s in a place in her life where she feels stuck in her writing career; and her personal life revolves around taking care of her cat.  Then she gets the opportunity of a lifetime…and has a tough choice to make.  

 I loved the sparks and the tension between Trent and Kate as she begins to ghostwrite his autobiography.  As they talk about common memories, Trent begins to see his past  in a new light and wonders if Kate might have a place in his future.  This story is filled with sweet, and sometimes funny,  moments as Trent and Kate realize that she’s not only writing Trent’s life story, they are together writing their own new love story. This is a clean, sweet romance that will touch your heart and make. you smile.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
