Synopsis

From # 1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Kate comes an enemies-to-lovers romance about an editor, her bestselling author, and one life-changing secret.

What she doesn't know about love could fill a book.

With a successful career as a romance editor, and an engagement to a man who checks off all ninety-nine boxes on her carefully curated list, Lanie's more than good. She's killing it. Then she’s given the opportunity of a lifetime: to work with world-renowned author and her biggest inspiration in love and life—the Noa Callaway. All Lanie has to do is cure Noa's writer's block and she'll get the promotion she's always dreamed of. Simple, right?

But there's a reason no one has ever seen or spoken to the mysterious Noa Calloway. And that reason will rock Lanie’s world. It will call into question everything she thought she knew. When she finally tosses her ninety-nine expectations to the wind, Lanie may just discover that love By Any Other Name can still be as sweet.

3.5 stars This... wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be! Not that I thought it was going to be the worst, but I just didn't know what to expect going into Lauren Kate's very first adult romance. I liked it for the most part, and it honestly could’ve been a solid 4 stars if it wasn’t for the e......more

Goodreads review by Darla on February 17, 2022

Lanie gets a huge promotion, but there are strings attached. Author Noa Calloway's book is already four months late. Lanie has just three months to get that manuscript delivered. Oh, and there is also an NDA. Noa Calloway only communicates via email and through their assistant. Thus begins this romc......more

Goodreads review by Christy on April 23, 2022

4 stars This book was adorable! I honestly wasn’t sure about the first 40-50%, it had a few things I didn’t love in it, but the last half was fantastic! I loved the writer/editor aspect and the friends to lovers storyline. I do wish we got chapters from Noah’s perspective. I think it would have truly......more
