Editor Lanie Bloom is thrilled to receive a provisional promotion as editorial director at Peony Press in New York. It means she will get to work with her idol, Noa Calloway, a bestselling author of love stories.

Since her mother died when she was 10, Lanie has been inspired in life and love by Noa’s books, even going so far as to write her own list of ‘Ninety-Nine Things I’m Going to Love About You’, the title of Noa’s first novel.

So when Lanie discovers that Noa is not the glamourous middle-aged woman she imagined, but the handsome young Noah Ross, her world is shattered. Worse, Noah has writer’s block – and Lanie’s promotion depends on Noah delivering his latest masterpiece, already four months late. Lanie’s sense of betrayal makes it difficult for her to connect with Noah, but she is determined to spark his creative inspiration by showing him her favourite hidden spots around New York. As she gets to know him better, Lanie starts to wonder if Noa and Noah are really so very different after all.

This is the perfect book if you’re looking for a fun, feel-good, romantic read that will leave you with a smile on your face.
