Elsy needs to go for her annual book club gathering, only no one else can go. She needs to get away from reality and curl up with a good book and a glass of wine. But on her drive up to the cabin, she somehow gets lost. Then pulls into a small town only to almost hit someone who is standing in the middle of the road. After a ruff night and ending up stranded, she discovers that she’s in the town of her favorite romance novel series. But how can any of this be real?
This story is a standalone novel. Elsy has been hurt by love, and is the quintessential character that doesn’t want to have anything to do with a real relationship. She finds herself within this little town. While the town also seems to grow with her. There are so many nods to great books and just the romance genre in general that give you all the feels that you could be looking for. I loved reading this story and couldn’t put it down once I started it. I will defiantly look into reading more by Ashley Poston going forward.

“Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don’t leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she’s so set on going her annual book club retreat this year—she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures—no matter what.
But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like it’s right out of a novel . . .
Because it is.
This place can’t be real, and yet… she’s here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy store’s honey taffy is always sweet, the local bar’s burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. It’s perfect—and perfectly frozen, trapped in the late author’s last unfinished story.
Elsy is sure that’s why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending.
Except there is a character in Eloraton that she can’t place—a grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes, an irritatingly sexy mouth and impeccable taste in novels. And he does not want her finishing this book.
Which is a problem because Elsy is beginning to think the town’s happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.”
