Sariah Wilson
When Hollywood comes to small-town Ohio, the scene is set for an unpredictable romance in a fun and flirty novel by Sariah Wilson, the bestselling author of The Chemistry of Love. The small town of Patience needs a financial boost. Temporary librarian and aspiring film-score composer Jane Wagner's plan? Invite movie star Nick Haddon to the town's harvest festival and stand back for the tourist surge. No one thought he'd say yes--much less that he'd bring a documentary crew to stream his visit. Given Nick's affinity for trouble, his reputation and films are tanking. Patience is the perfect stopover on a journey of self-improvement and his chance to put good karma out in the universe. Spending time with a sweet and lovely guide like Jane is a bonus. But Jane's heartbroken past keeps her on guard against men. Especially when they're jinxed. The truth is, Jane's falling hard. But she can't ignore the differences between them. He's famous. She isn't. He's here for two weeks. This is her home. Where can it possibly lead? She'll see. Because day after blissful day, Nick's encouraging Jane to trust again and, best of all, to dream beyond Patience.

"I recently discovered Sariah Wilson and I appreciate that her books always deliver a steady plot line. In this one, it there were a few points that stretched credulity a bit. The first is that a serious Hollywood star would move to a town and everyone would be "normal" about it (there have to be some superfans, right?), but the character was written down-to-earth enough to make it acceptable. Another one that I struggled with was the dynamic between Jane and her parents. Why did both she and them think she needed to stay in Patience? The reasoning was there, but it only made sense if the family wasn't one to hang out and have conversations. Finally, if you're going to call the MC a jinx, and use it as the title, I want a little bit more oomph behind it."
