A fun romantic comedy about a woman writing under a male pseudonym and the man she hires to play the role in public.
Daphne
McFadden is tired of rejection. After submitting her manuscript to
dozens of agents, she's gotten rejection after rejection, and now it's
time for something drastic. And so, Daphne submits her manuscript again…
under a man's name.
Imagine her surprise when it sells for big
money at an auction and soon becomes a publicity darling. Only she needs
a man to play her super macho alter ego Zane Remington. Enter Chris
Stanton, who absolutely looks the part of a survivalist and has a talent
for pressing her piss‑me‑off‑I‑dare‑you buttons while somehow being
endearing at the same time. But Chris has a few secrets of his own,
including the fact that he’s really an accountant who has no idea how to
chop wood or paddle a canoe. When Daphne's book becomes a bestselling
sensation and they're forced to go on tour together, Daphne finds
herself wondering if this city‑boy geek is exactly what she needs to
push her to claim her dreams.

What I thought about Finding Mr. Write
I love it when an author can take a tried-and-true trope and give it a good spin into something fresh and interesting. Finding Mr. Write does just that. After numerous rejections of her book, Daphne decides to use what would be perceived as a man's pen name, and then ends up having to hire someone to play that role when the book becomes popular. Oh, and did I mention that she's falling for Chris, the embodiment of her fake author's name?
With the book doing well, there are plenty of opportunities for Daphne and Chris to get together. Chris might even have a few secrets himself. They will have to come clean with each other if they want the prize. Of course they do, and it's a fun ride getting to the HEA.
I thought this was a creative and entertaining comedic romance. This usually isn't my go-to with romance, but I do love a rom com that is done well, that has me laughing in all the best spots and satisfies my romantic notions. Finding Mr. Write does all that. I really enjoyed this.
Kelley Armstrong believes experience is the best teacher, though she’s been told this shouldn’t apply to writing her murder scenes. To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is however an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.
