In “Book Lovers,” it is the hard-driving literary agent Nora Stephens who travels to the small North Carolina town of Sunshine Falls, only to encounter her nemesis from the Manhattan book scene, the editor Charlie Lastra.Īnother theme in her books is the pull of family. Right, even as the two of them hide from the inevitable. In “People We Meet on Vacation,” the travel writer Poppy Wright spends part of each summer taking a trip with her best friend from college, Alex Nilsen, who, dear reader, you know from the get-go is Mr.

In “Beach Read,” dueling novelists occupy neighboring houses on a lake in Michigan, sparring until, of course, they stop. In her books, a youngish woman - a writer or writer-adjacent - at a crisis point in her life, lights out for new territory where (not to give any spoilers), she finds her true calling - and her true love. It is an MM romance with explicit spicy times, foul language, and two main guys who are pretty down on their luck.Over the last three years, the novelist Emily Henry has established a solid beachhead on summertime best seller lists with a series of travel-related rom-coms, starting with “Beach Read” in 2020, and followed by last summer’s “People We Meet on Vacation” and this year’s “Book Lovers.” All three novels currently share space on The Times’s combined Print and E-book fiction list. They must be read in order as book 2 is a continuation of book 1 featuring the same main characters.

Potential to expand later, but for now remains a duology. GARRON PARK is book one (1) of two (2) in the From Nothing series. Two guys who come from nothing, with very little to look forward to, find themselves craving each other in new and fiery ways.

Their acceptance is anything but graceful. While their competitiveness remains, their dynamic shifts. Perspectives change and their friction morphs into something unexpected. Rivals in motocross, work, and life itself, they’re forced to work together for one night. Living in Garron’s trailer park means families dole out discipline on the regular and violence is a part of life, but something about how far Jim Sawyer takes it this time has Maddox unnerved. Maddox has never seen Devon this vulnerable. With his dad on his trail, he has no choice but to stand on his enemy’s doorstep and let Maddox help. When Devon Sawyer desperately searches for his brother in the middle of the night, beaten and broken, he finds Maddox Kane instead. Garron Park, where hope dies and no one ever gets ahead.
