The Critic

THE CRITIC
by Dyanne Davis

Anyone Can Write A Book At least that's what literary critic and talk show host Jared Stone thinks. After all how hard can it be to pen a romance novel? The women who churn those books out are empty headed, bored women, and the women that read it are even worse."

Anyone with a weeks' vacation can do it. To prove his point, he joins a local romance writer's chapter. It should be easy once he penetrates the group and uncovers the formula for writing. And since it's so easy, he's sure he can finish in a single week, no more than two.

Toreas Rose has spent years crafting her novel, sweating through revisions and weathering rejections with the best of them. When Jared challenges her by promising he can finish a novel in a couple of weeks, she graciously steps aside.

And Everything Has A Twist When Jared and Toreas match wits in a contest of the literary critic vs. the romance writer, no holds are barred.

And quicker than you can crack the cover on a new book, the confrontation gets personal. So personal that they're creating a steamy subplot all their own.

But will the ending be a literary tale of woe or a classic happily-ever-after?
