Overview
A captivating, bold debut about a woman torn between a new flame and a rekindled love as she rebuilds her life. Jourdana Webber’s heartfelt, witty contemporary romance about chasing dreams and fighting for your happily-ever-after is perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Carley Fortune.
Elle Watson had it all—or so she thought.
From climbing the corporate ladder to substantial financial success, Elle’s life is a master class in ambition. So why is she standing in desperation at the edge of her New Orleans balcony ready to jump?
Blindsided by a betrayal at work and utterly burned-out, Elle says goodbye to the life she thought she wanted and tries to reclaim her happiness. (Because she was happy once, right?) She trades the corporate grind for a fresh start in Boston to pursue her long-abandoned dream of becoming a writer.
As her savings dwindle and deadlines approach, the last thing Elle expects is to fall for Boston’s most eligible bachelor, the magnetic Barrett Henry. With his piercing blue eyes and unapologetic dreamer’s charm, he’s both a distraction she can’t afford and a heartthrob she can’t ignore.
But then there’s the effortlessly suave Jude Ashford. Once collateral damage in her battle between ambition and love, he’s the man who knows her better than anyone and the person her heart can’t quite let go of. Caught in a whirlwind of emotions as her past and present collide, Elle must confront old wounds, new possibilities, and the hardest question of all: What—and who—is she willing to fight for?
Told through dual timelines and brimming with witty banter, emotional depth, and a cast of dynamic, relatable characters, Elle’s journey is an empowering story of love, loss, and finding the courage to embrace the unconventional life.
Review
Elle is living what we all wish we could probably do…leave our job and pursue what we truly want to do. Her grandparents left her a good nest egg. So, when she was blindsided at her corporate job, she left and didn’t look back. She decided to pursue her dream of being a writer.
Elle is someone who grew on me as the story unfolded. At first, I wanted to shake her and tell her to grow a backbone…but don’t worry…she does.
I love how this story wove itself around Elle’s love life, including her first love, Jude. I mean, yes it is predictable, but I enjoyed how the author created their love present and past. And believe me, their past is full of problems.
This novel hit me at the right time. I needed something easy, lite, funny but intense and dramatic. And this story fit the bill.
I enjoyed Stella Bloom’s narration. She truly became Elle to me.
Need an empowering tale of courage and going after what you want…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review
