Sometimes LOVE will write itself… whether you like it or not. Cynical screenwriter Harrison Kyle hates romance. If hell exists, Harrison is sure it’s full of heart shaped chocolates and badly acted Hallmark movies on repeat. With a soundtrack full of whatever pop star is flavour of the month. But if he ever wants to write his magnum opus, the studio has one final request: Write them a rom-com. Oh, and do it with Hayley Bennett, the sexy, smart Brit who wears her heart on her sleeve and takes joy out of arguing with him. Whatever. It’ll be fine. Mix a few cliché tropes with some bland twenty-something leads, and they’ll be finished in a week. But as hard as he tries, Harrison can’t escape the love in the air. Literally. A Valentine’s festival haunts his every move, gifts appear out of nowhere, women profess their affections in meet cutes he can’t avoid, and don’t even get him started on the flash mob. It turns out there is something worse than writing a romance - living in one. Is Harrison ready to become the hero of his own love story? Not My Love Story is a steamy contemporary romance and the second entry in the Movie Magic Novella series. Each story is a standalone and can be enjoyed out of order.

A quick romance is never a bad idea!
This is such a good and entertaining read. 132 pages of a budding love with tropes like grumpyxsunshine, forced proximity, one bed trope and of course the main theme which is a second chance romance!
With Harrison and Haley I felt that it was done so realistically and so believable that I can almost see Harrison writing it lol.
