Romance isn't my usual genre. I hardly ever read them, and when I do, I don't usually enjoy them. For that reason alone, I hadn't paid much attention to this one when it was first offered with the Book of the Month Club, and planned to skip it. But then I kept seeing reviews from others about what a fun read it was, even from other non-romance folks like me. April 2020 has been tough, and the thought of a fun, entertaining mind-vacation was too appealing, so I ordered the book. And read it in 2 days!
January and Gus were fun to get to meet, it was interesting to hear their back stories. I really, really appreciated that the whole book is from only one POV, January's, rather than skipping between the two, as well. There was enough going on in January's story as it was, and it was interesting to read her break through Gus's shell as well.
As they are both author's, though different genres, it was fun to read how they defended - and joked about - their respective genres. The bet was entertaining on many levels as well.
I'm not a romance convert, but I will look for this author again.
It also helped that the description of the Western Michigan beauty was pretty well spot on, from my old memories. Though, I'm not sure I've figured out where North Bear Shore was supposed to be.
