Entertaining and interesting read.

Maddie owns a bookstore in the town where she grew up. She has just written a book under a pen name, and when she reads a review from an online reviewer, Silver Fox, she is outraged and responds to him directly. They start to converse and soon start to grow closer, despite having never met. She wants a romantic hero, and there are several candidates but who will she end up with?

I received an ARC of this book in return for an honest review. This book is hilarious and romantic. I found this book quite fun to read, it reminded me of ‘You’ve Got Mail’ which I absolutely loved. I will definitely be looking up more books by this author and if you need an easy holiday read- this is one for you.

Maddie Hanson is a writer and a bookstore owner she was also left at the altar, she has zero interest in romance. She runs a book club full of sexy eligible bachelors, but when her latest novel gets an anonymous blogger by the name of silver fox who accuses her of knowing nothing about Passion, she decides to prove him wrong by seeking a romance hero of her very own! She runs into the hot rock musician, the bookish college professor, and her very competitive childhood friend who she thinks is trying to steal her bookstore and maybe her heart! The silver fox is even getting in on the action! It’s not all her ex wants her back to! Like any good story life has ups and downs and love can happen when you least expect it, with the person you least expect! This book was fun and flirty and sweet! It’s well worth the read! Not my top favorite it was a little to tame for my taste but still a cute story! Thank you netgalley and the publishers for Sharing this book with me!

Dating by the Book is a decent read. Maddie owns a small bookstore in a community not far from Indianapolis, it's struggling. A series of mishaps keeps her further in the red. Maddie is also a budding author who strikes up an online correspondence with a reviewer. She has a host of good friends, but can't see the romance that is right under her nose, I found Maddie to be quite neurotic and somewhat vexing. She seemed to live more in her fiction than in real life. Once she wakes up and realizes what she has, her life turns around.
