edit data

Kate McMurray writes smart romantic fiction. She likes creating stories that are brainy, funny, and of course sexy, with regular guy characters and urban sensibilities. She advocates for romance stories by and for everyone. When she’s not writing, she edits textbooks, watches baseball, plays violin, crafts things out of yarn, and wears a lot of cute dresses. She lives in Brooklyn, NY, with a bossy cat and too many books.

This book made me want to do a food and wine tour of Europe immediately. What works especially well is that Theo and Kit have distinct voices, so when the POV shifts at the mid-way point, from Theo to Kit, it's clear we're in a different character's ...more
