REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"Maybe it would be good to become plain Frankie Brown again . . . And this time, I'll be staying in a castle instead of a dinky beet-scented apartment."
After a humiliating public break-up, wildly successful author Georgina Justice decided that running away from home might be a grand idea. Following the advice of her agent, Frankie jets off from New York to England to rediscover her muse within the walls of a crumbling Georgian Manor inhabited by a gregarious teen and her brooding viscount of a brother. Two more opposite souls could never be written into the chapters of one of Georgina Justice's books.
Or could they?
As clever and catchy as its title suggests, this clean contemporary romance delivers all the touch points that readers of romantic comedy have come to expect. While perhaps treading predictability, the story abounds in entertainment providing a plethora of pleasurable moments, hilarious hiccups, and intentional insights into the power of love. (after all, who can resist a lady with a closet full of shoes!!!)

BackCover Blurb:
A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a British lord who’s afraid of it—will they find their own happily ever after?
American Georgina Justice is a modern literary Midas—everything she writes turns to gold. But when a disastrous public breakup with New York’s most attractive heir leaves her unable to believe in or write about love, she’s sent to England to rediscover her inner romantic.
The last thing Georgina expects to find is Graham Michael Phips-Harington, Viscount Rosebury—a brooding, emotionally repressed engineer who spends his free time building trebuchets and trying to preserve his crumbling Georgian manor. At first glance, they couldn’t be more different. She’s a shoe-obsessed idealist with a flair for Regency etiquette; he’s a practical, old-money noble who would rather protect the past than relive it. And then there’s the Rosebury curse, which promises only heartache.
But fate (and Graham’s sister, Eleanor) seem to have other plans. And it’s writing a story neither one of them could have plotted on their own.
The Meet-Cute Manuscript is a low-spice, grumpy/sunshine romance full of swoony moments, British charm, and a nod to Regency novels. It’s the first in the Love on the Page Series, but each book can be read as a stand-alone.
