Review Card & Book Review- You Had Me At Chateau By Portia MacIntosh

Romantic comedy writer Amber Page is stuck in a rut.

After her editor tells her she needs to “up the spice” in her books (literally Amber’s worst nightmare…), she is at a crossroads with what to do with her career.

When the opportunity arises to go on a writer’s retreat at an exclusive château in the beautiful French Alps Amber reluctantly agrees, hoping a change of scenery will help with inspiration.

But while she tries and fails to spice up her writing – with the unhelpful guidance of the eccentric romance writers at the château – she meets two leading men who cause her own real-life romantic comedy to unfold…

About The Author

My Review

This romcom, set within the publishing industry, follows Amber Page, an author grappling with writer’s block after a successful book series. Her struggle to balance her desire to write a murder mystery and her publisher’s demand for more romance leads her to a writer’s retreat in France. The setting is beautifully described, and Amber’s stay introduces her to Henri, a charming French hotel manager, and Caleb, an influencer and reality star, forming a love triangle of sorts. The book cleverly plays with common romcom tropes like fake dating, the “one bed” scenario, and miscommunication, all while fleshing out entertaining side plots involving Amber’s parents’ “pre-divorce” and the lives of other female romance writers.

Review Card & Book Review – Take It Offline By Dani McLean

This meet-cute could have been an email.

EMMA

I’m sick of not being taken seriously. Secretly broke and plagued by being a woman in tech, I’ve spent five years fighting for a sliver of respect from my boss. Last year it was destroyed by a single man. No, not a man. A demon in a three-piece suit. Now, he’s trying to steal the promotion I’ve earned, but no matter how weak his dimples make me, I refuse to let him win. Except Charlie Walker has never played by the rules, and he’s intent on getting under my skin, one wink at a time.

CHARLIE

Good things only come to those who take. So, when corporate superstar and trust fund princess, Emma Conway, expects the lead role handed to her on a silver platter, I do what I do best… Suit up and step into the ring. Too bad there’s an inferno hidden under all her control, and it only makes me want to get burned. I probably shouldn’t have kissed her. I definitely shouldn’t have agreed to make her ex jealous.

It’s a good thing she hates me, or I’d really be in trouble.

About The Author

My Review

This is a steamy workplace romance set in the competitive tech world. Emma Conway, on the verge of a big promotion, faces her rival Charlie Walker, a charming corporate star who previously derailed her progress. As professional rivalry intensifies, so does their mutual attraction. Despite Emma’s resistance, Charlie’s charm breaks through, and a staged kiss sparks undeniable chemistry, turning their competition into a passionate romance. Both carry personal baggage, adding emotional depth as they navigate their relationship. I love the humor, tension, and romance, creating a compelling story of love and ambition in a high-stakes environment.
