In Other Words, Love

She's been hired to ghostwrite a CEO's autobiography... Yep, that CEO. The one who broke her heart.  

When Kate's agent gets her the job of writing Trent's autobiography, she almost balks. The charismatic founder of his own outdoor clothing company dumped her when they were in college. But she needs the money.

Trent's been so busy lately, he completely forgot he was supposed to be writing a book, and the draft is due soon. He wants Kate as the ghostwriter: she's experienced, and she was always smart and hard-working. They can keep things professional, right?

In funny and touching ways, the project gives them a fresh perspective on the past, even prompting a road trip to Trent's hometown that uncovers forgotten feelings. But will they both have the courage to start a new chapter in life?

This second chance romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Guacamole Grilled Chicken Club Sandwiches. 



MY REVIEW:  "In Other Words, Love: A Second Chance Romance from Hallmark Publishing", by author Shirley Jump, is a sweet contemporary love story that proves you can run from love, but you just can't hide--the heart will have its way. As a young girl, Kate Winslow had always imagined her life as a writer, not knowing that in her case, that would mean "ghostwriter". Now, in her late thirties, she had long grown weary of never seeing her own name on the books she wrote, and her finances were also on the wane. An offer of a lucrative new ghostwriting contract will definitely boost her bank account, and she can pay her bills and help out her beloved Grandma Wanda. However, the deal turns out to be a shock to the system when the subject of the book--a successful outdoors apparel and equipment company CEO--is the man who broke her heart, Trent MacMillan. College sweethearts, Kate and Trent had been a true "opposites attract' romance--she was the studious bookworm, and he was the outdoors-loving sports guy. He had graduated first, and on the day of her own graduation, he had devastated her by ending their relationship because they wanted very different futures. Fifteen years later, their first meeting to discuss the book proved that the attraction--and the hurt--was still there. Trent has worked hard over the years--so hard that he no longer has much time for the things that he enjoys most. Kate has labored as a writer, but her dream of becoming a published author--with her own name on the cover--has eluded her. Is there a second chance for these two former college sweethearts, both looking forty in the eye, to finally learn that compromise in matters of the heart means gaining more than you lose? I really enjoyed the characterizations that created for "In Other Words, Love", and I rooted for them to find their happily-ever-after.
