Looking for a way to pass the cold winter nights – and take her mind off her lying ex – Marian Hunt decides to start a book club. And pretty soon, it begins to take off … grief. But a greater distraction than books lies in store.
Caught up in working hard to support his ex-wife, Matt Bollinger reckons the book club will be a good way to meet new people. But while romance beckons, sabotage is not far behind.
Disgraced poet Nick Barry is in search of the perfect story to relaunch his career, and he expects the book club will be the perfect place for some market research. But Nick finds a bigger story than he bargained for.
With sadness, joy, money, sex, betrayal – and a few novels thrown in for good measure – those cold winter nights are about to heat up…

It was a great read. I highly recommend it.
Enjoyed the story.
The plot had a few twists. The characters were one-dimensional. This book seemed to have a low reading level. Ok and I did finish but nothing memorable.
Great escalation of characters.
This book was about the members of a new book club started by a woman who found herself finishing a book and having no one to discuss it with. You meet all the members of the book club in separate chapters and find out about their lives. The club only actually meet twice during the book. The first meeting was just to set the rules of the club, so not really much to do with the actual book club. There was romance, and of course some shady characters who try to ruin other people. It was a good read, however, I was a bit disappointed that there was not more about the actual book club itself. Some of the characters I liked at the beginning really annoyed me toward the end like Ellie. The way she treated her husband was not nice after everything he had done for her during her recovery. Over all the book had a happy ever after.
Easy read with an unexpected twist that plays out in the last several chapters.
Enjoyable with real characters.
Hard to get the story and characters straight at first.
As an avid reader, this book had me at the start . This is an amazing tribute to those of us who are truly bookworms! It was a fantasy in and of itself.Would highly recommend!!!

It was just ok. Not great
I found it was a slow starter but did get better as I got into it.
Got bored 1/2 way through and quit reading. Kept waiting for it to get interesting. It didn’t.
The characters were well-developed and the plot line drew me in right away. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A fun read with a few (somewhat predictable but not completely) twists. Great beach/summer choice.
Very much like Maeve Binchey’s books. I liked it, but didn’t love it. Characters seemed a bit stiff. I can’t really put my finger on what would improve it although I don’t feel it was a waste of time. The good guys win and the bad guys lose, so satisfying in the end.
It was a different twist to a book club story.
Enjoyed this book
Many twist and turns with enough romance to keep it interesting!
Not my type, I didn’t finish.
Not usually my kind of read, but this romance had enough twists to make it enjoyable
