Nora's life is about to get a rewrite...

Nora Hamilton knows the formula for love better than anyone. As a romance channel screenwriter, it's her job. But when her too-good-to work husband leaves her and their two kids, Nora turns her marriage's collapse into cash and writes the best script of her life. No one is more surprised than her when it's picked up for the big screen and set to film on location at her 100-year-old-home. When former Sexiest Man Alive, Leo Vance, is cast as her ne'er do well husband Nora's life will never be the same.

The morning after shooting wraps and the crew leaves, Nora finds Leo on her porch with a half-empty bottle of tequila and a proposition. He'll pay a thousand dollars a day to stay for a week. The extra seven grand would give Nora breathing room, but it's the need in his eyes that makes her say yes. Seven days: it's the blink of an eye or an eternity depending on how you look at it. Enough time to fall in love. Enough time to break your heart.

Filled with warmth, wit, and wisdom, Nora Goes Off Script is the best kind of love story--the real kind where love is complicated by work, kids, and the emotional baggage that comes with life. For Nora and Leo, this kind of love is bigger than the big screen.

Gobble, gobble, gobble. That’s the sound of me eating up Nora Goes Off Script. I loved everything about this feel-good romance.

About Annabel Monaghan

author Annabel Monaghan

My debut adult novel, Nora Goes Off Script, is coming out on June 7, 2022 from G.P. Putnam’s Sons. Writing it was probably the most fun I’ve ever had. Pre-Nora, I wrote fiction for young adults and a column for not-so-young adults.

I grew up in Los Angeles, and nearly every one of my relatives still lives in Southern California. I attended Duke University where I studied English. I have an MBA from The Wharton School of The University of Pennsylvania and a brief history as an investment banker. I also used to teach novel writing at the The Writing Institute at Sarah Lawrence College. I now live in the suburbs of New York City with my husband, three sons, and a little dog who sheds.

Mini Review: The Unidentified Redhead by Alice Clayton

Mini Review: The Unidentified Redhead by Alice Clayton

June 15, 2022 Angela Reviews, Romantic Comedy

It’s difficult for me to review The Unidentified Redhead because comedy is perhaps the most highly subjective of all genres. I can only summarize my own personal opinion in a few words. Freaking hilarious. Entertaining characters. Sexy. Fun. Bawdy. Steamy. Captivating. Utter perfection. Take it for what it’s worth.

Review: Just Folking Around by Penny Reid

Review: Just Folking Around by Penny Reid

July 1, 2021 Angela Reviews, Romance

Deputy Sheriff Jackson James has been on the fringes of many Winston Brothers stories. He’s always seemed like such a great guy and has missed out on love, so when I heard he was getting his own book, Totally Folked, I was more than a little excited. Just Folking Around is the novella prequel. It’s a bit of a tease; an appetizer; an amuse bouche, if you will; a small taste of things to come. Spicy sexytimes things, if this book is any indication.
