‘This book melted my stone cold heart’ Jendella Benson
Temi and Wale meet in London. They flirt, date, meet each other's friends.
Then they break up. And Wale goes on a reality dating show.
Instead of giving in to heartbreak, Temi throws herself into her dream: writing. She's within touching distance of a book deal that would solve all her problems. But publishers keep passing on her novel and bills still have to be paid. So, when the opportunity to ghost-write a celebrity memoir arises, Temi accepts.
And, of course, the celebrity turns out to be Wale...
Will Temi and Wale repeat the patterns of their past? Or can they write a whole new story?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Blackburn (Yinka, Where Is Your Husband?) delivers a strained second-chance romance following struggling Nigerian British romance author Temiloluwa "Temi" Ojo. Publishers aren't biting on her manuscript and she keeps lying to her agent about her progress on her next book. She does have another finished project sitting in a drawer, but it's a hit piece on her ex-boyfriend Wale Bandele, who dumped her to go on a Love Island–style reality dating show, and she's not planning on it ever seeing the light of day. So when her agent sets her up with a freelance gig to ghostwrite a celebrity memoir, Temi is thrilled—until she learns the celebrity is Wale. His time on the show earned him a bad boy reputation and now he's looking to rehabilitate his image. As the pair struggle to keep things professional, old tensions resurface and Wale reexamines his past bad behavior. But will his soul-searching (and soulful eyes) be enough to earn Temi's forgiveness? For many readers, the answer will be no. Frequent miscommunications, betrayals, and lies mar the rekindling romance between the leads, leaving both feeling frustratingly immature. This misses the mark.
