Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From the old steel mills of Pittsburgh to the picturesque hills of Scotland, romance novels save the day in RITA Award-winning author Gwyn Cready’s fun and sensuous take on literature and modern-day love. When snobbish book critic Ellery Sharpe screws up at Vanity Place magazine, her boss assigns her the ultimate punishment: write an ode to romance novels, a genre she considers the literary equivalent of word search puzzles. To make matters worse, he hires her sexy former party boy ex, Axel Mackenzie, to shoot the photos. Axel really wants the project to succeed. For one, the magazine will double his fee if he convinces strong-willed Ellery to write a story no woman can resist. Besides, getting Ellery to fall for romance novels might be just the push she needs to believe people can change . . . even him. At his sister’s advice, Axel gives Ellery a copy of Kiltlander, a much-adored romance whose warrior hero is utterly irresistible. To her dismay, Ellery finds herself secretly falling in love with the story—and with Axel, who’s drawing his own lessons from the book’s compelling hero. With her carefully crafted image of herself crumbling and her dream job on the line, will Ellery risk it all to make the leap from tight-lipped literati to happily-ever-after heroine? Review:"Cready (Aching for Always) whips up a delightfully original and humorous contemporary romp with a metafictional twist. Strait-laced literary editor Ellory Sharpe is horrified when her temperamental boss orders her to write an ode to romance novels. Even worse, the assignment reunites her with photographer Axel Mackenzie, an old flame. Ellory must learn to praise a genre she hates while navigating around her boss's secret affair with the romance world's current darling; a hostile competitor for her dream job; and her increasingly passionate relationship with Axel. But as she continues her international journey to understand the allure of romance novels, she is stunned to discover the intelligence beneath the revealing covers and the quick camaraderie of romance fans. Peppered with laugh-out-loud dialogue, hysterical antics, and plenty of colorful secondary characters, this yarn is an absolute crowd-pleaser."
