Battle of the Bookstores by Ali Brady book cover with two cartoon book shop owners and stores.

Battle of the Bookstores by Ali Brady 

ARC from PRH Audio and Netgalley for an honest review 

Book Blurb:

Battle of the Bookstores by Ali Brady was the perfect escape book about books, bookstores, romance and a competition that kept me completely engaged along the way. When two bookstores end up on the same street, Josie must beat her opposition in book sales as that determines which bookstore will stay on the street. Ryan, her competition is a teddy bear kind of guy who runs his store with cute events, romance themed crafting and has a lighter feel to it. Josie is all about the literary books where sentences mean more than the plot. While they are putting all their weight on who will win, both Josie and Ryan are speaking to an online book friend. Little do they know that they are talking to each other and that’s when the heat steps in. I found this book charming, sexy, funny and kept me away from watching any world news for a few days! This is definitely their best book to date, and I look forward for what’s next!

Quotes I liked:

It’s not about the happy ending—it’s about believing that you’re worthy of one.”

“For better or worse, my library has always grown faster than my social circle.”

“Falling in love is something that happens to you, sometimes even against your will—like being struck by lightning or catching the flu. But staying in love? That’s a choice.”

“No matter how long it’s been, books are waiting with open pages, ready to whisk you away on an adventure or comfort you after a rough day. People may come and go from your life, but books? Books are forever.”
