Summary

Achingly romantic, The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka is an intimate, swoon-worthy will-they-won't-they love story.

'Perfection' – Jodi Picoult, author of
Wish You Were Here

Sometimes the best love stories start with The Roughest Draft . . .

Three years ago, Katrina Freeling and Nathan Van Huysen were the brightest literary stars on the horizon, their cowritten book topping bestseller lists. But on the heels of their greatest success, they ended their partnership on bad terms. They haven't spoken since, and never planned to – except they have one final book due on contract.

Forced to reunite, they hole up in a tiny Florida town, trying to finish a new manuscript quickly and painlessly. Working through the reasons they've hated each other for the past three years isn't easy, especially not while writing a romantic novel.

While passion and prose push them closer together in the Florida heat, Katrina and Nathan will learn that relationships, like writing, sometimes take a few rough drafts before they get it right . . .

'I love, love, LOVED this book' – Lyssa Kay Adams, author of Isn’t It Bromantic?

Slow Going

This may have been easier to read than listen to, but the story was too slow.

Not for me

It just didn’t grab me. I wasn’t keen and struggled to finish. Not for me.
