Book Description
He hates lawyers. So I’m a lawyer pretending to be an artist. Forgetting one tiny detail: I can’t paint.
Tessa: There’s something about the way the blond guy laughs and leans in to listen. My gaze keeps
returning to him.
The only problem is, we’re at an art gallery after work, and I’ve swapped my lawyer suit for a paint-
splattered shirt. I’m pretending to be a struggling artist, acting as bait to entice a scammer who
conned my friend out of thousands of dollars.
I look pathetic. But still, I approach Hot Guy.
Our glances meet, and an awareness shimmers across.
He offers to buy me a drink--we’re definitely flirting--and then he asks me what I do.
Just when Scammer Guy is in earshot.
I have no choice but to say I’m an artist. I can tell Hot Guy later that I’m not.
But then he says he hates lawyers.
Now what?
Zeke: She’s the worst artist I’ve ever seen.
And I hate that that makes me suspect that she’s lying to me. After my ex-girlfriend cheated on me,
trust is in short supply.
She makes me laugh, and it’s one adventure after another with her. Definitely different from my
workaholic lawyer ex.
Maybe it’s time to give love a second chance.
All is fair in love and litigation, but when truth and deception clash, can you trust your heart?
*The romcom books in this series are interconnected standalones set in the same world. Each can be
read as a pure standalone with a guaranteed happily ever after.
BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'Love Is an Art' by Kathy Strobos.
Read and reviewed for Kathy Strobos, Strawbundle Publishing and Rachel's Random Tours.
Publication date 10th October 2023.
This is the second book I have read by this author. It is also the second book in Kathy's 'New York Spark' series. I have also read Kathy's 'A Scavenger Hunt For Hearts' which is another fantastic book by Kathy which I would also highly recommend!!!
This novel consists of 47 chapters and 2 epilogues. The chapters are short in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOOVVVEEE , LOVED IT!!! A HUGE WELL DONE KATHY ON AN ABSOLUTELY SWEET FANTASTIC HEARTWARMER ♥!!!
I absolutely adored this beautiful, sweet, page turning romance with surprises you won't see coming!! The storyline itself is romantically charged and filled with love, friendship, lies, twists, humour, comedy, romance, fun and absolutely everything you could want in an absolutely adorable book!!! The storyline is unique and I absolutely loved the idea of a lawyer finding romance with a lawyer and liar hater so she decides to lie and make out she is a struggling artist!!! This is something I would definitely not recommend trying at home but by God it was hilarious to read!!! Although this is the second book in the series I had absolutely no problems reading it without reading the first book in the series prior to this one. Any details or events that have previously happened are mentioned in just the right amount of detail to let a new reader know what has happened and yet not too much to bore a previous reader. It made me laugh, scream, shout, angry, jump for joy and getting a few strange looks from my partner while I was doing all this!! Along the way there are tears, happiness, disasters, secrets, romance, friendship and sparks flying everywhere!! Kathy's evocative writing skills brings the story life and one minute your chilling at home with the book in your hand and the next you've been sucked straight into the storyline cringing with Tessa's lies, giggling away and feeling your heart warm up!!!
Kathy does a fantastic job of weaving the multiple protagonist storylines together at just the right times so we can see how both Tessa and Zeke are feeling and what they are doing without spoiling the storyline. This book had me in stitches on several occasions and at other times left me sitting there going shouting at a certain person and getting some very strange looks!! There was plenty going on and I absolutely loved every moment of it. The storyline is unique and I think it is such a fantastic plot I really would love to see this turned into a movie!! I would be the first barging their way in front to get tickets!! There were so many large and unique personalities in this book and thanks to Kathy's amazing writing skills each and every one of them came alive. I absolutely LOVED watching all the separate relationships develop and change between the characters and I would love to see where each goes and what they get up to next along with hoping to meet them in the future books in this series! I completely devoured this book in a couple of hours and it was a great escape from reality!!! This book was filled with a lovely range of characters and I would absolutely love to meet them all again!! Hint hint Kathy 😉 A huge WELL done to Kathy for bringing them to life!! I read the blurbs of the previous book in this series as well as the first chapters (included at the back of this book) and I cannot wait to get stuck in to them!!
An absolutely stunning read by Kathy!! If you are looking for that perfect read to lift your spirits, and keep you hooked then what are you waiting for??
Well done Kathy on yet another fun and stunning page turning book!! I'm looking forward to your next success and getting stuck into the first and future books in this series!!! This is exactly why you are on my favourite authors list ♥ and here's to your next success 🥂
Overall an absolutely gorgeous, fun, feel good, page turner filled with friendships, art and romance that will keep you hooked!!
402 pages.
This book is just 99p to purchase on kindle and £11.99 in paperback via Amazon which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!
Rated 5/5 (I LOVED it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
