I learned about this book through my book cover designer (Tugboat Design) and decided to buy it and give it a try. Am I glad I did. This novel by Jan Romes was fun to read and would make the perfect vacation or beach read. And it's only $1.99 on Amazon! Here is a description of the book and my 5 Star review!
Book Description:
Jessi Novac leads the quiet life of a romance author until
someone leaves a series of explicit notes under her windshield wipers and heavy
breathing on her answering machine.
Until NYPD can track down the culprit who's trying to scare the bejesus out of her, Jessi hides out at her grandmother's beach house in Myrtle Beach where she hopes to get her bearings. Instead, her life takes an even bigger tilt toward crazy when she meets her clumsy neighbor. She's suspicious of Ian Alexander, and attracted to him at the same time. Their relationship becomes a calamity of errors until strange things start happening at the beach house. Jessi clings to Ian for protection, but soon discovers her heart may be in more danger than her life.

My 5 Star Review
Jessi Novac is a romance author whose life is recently in
turmoil. She is being stalked, so she decides to hide out in her grandmother's Myrtle Beach
Stay Close, Novac! is
a fun, witty and face-paced romance novel. The author, Jan Romes, writes in a
way that reminds me of Janet Evanovich with her charm and wit. Even though this
is a short novel, the story is quite full and you walk away feeling like you
have read a book twice its size. I really enjoyed reading Stay Close, Novac! and will definitely read more of Ms. Romes
novels.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation, Deanna. I just previewed the first few paragraphs with Amazon's Look Inside feature and bought the book. I've read several books recently that range from mediocre to awful so this will be a welcome change!
