Every Step She Takes
Thirty-five-year-old Seattleite Sadie Wells needs an escape. She’s desperate to escape her monotonous routines, the family business that has consumed her entire life, and the unexpected gay panic that has her questioning everything she thought she knew about herself. So when her injured sister offers Sadie her place on a tour along Portugal’s Camino de Santiago, she decides this is the perfect chance to get away from it all.
After three glasses of wine on the plane and some turbulence convince Sadie she won’t even survive the flight, she confesses all her secrets to her seatmate, Mal. The problem: the plane doesn’t crash, and it turns out Mal is on her Camino tour. Worst of all, Sadie learns that she is on a tour specifically for queer women, and that her two-hundred-mile trek will be a journey of self-discovery, whether she wants it to be or not.
Fascinated by the woman who drunkenly came out to her on the plane, Mal offers to help Sadie relive the queer adolescence she missed out on as they walk the Camino. As Sadie develops her newfound confidence, Mal grapples with a complicated loss and unexpected inheritance. But as their relationship blurs the lines between reality and practice, they both must decide if they will forever part at the end of the tour or chart a new course together.
The Charm Offensive – Sármháború
AZ IGAZI SZERELMI TÖRTÉNET A KULISSZÁK MÖGÖTT JÁTSZÓDIK.
Dev Deshpande mindig is hitt a tündérmesékben. Így nem csoda, hogy egész karrierjét a megalkotásukra építette, a régóta futó Örökkön Örökké című társkereső valóságshow keretei között. A franchise történetének legsikeresebb producereként Dev mindig megírja a tökéletes szerelmi történetet a versenyzői számára, bár a saját szerelmi élete a katasztrófával egyenlő. De aztán a show következő sztárja a techvilág kegyvesztett csodagyereke, Charlie Winshaw lesz. Charlie messze nem az a romantikus Szőke Herceg, akire az Örökkön Örökké számított. Nem hisz az igaz szerelemben, és csak végső kísérletként vállalta a műsort, hogy helyreállítsa az imidzsét. A kamerák előtt merev, szorongó szerencsétlenség, akinek fogalma sincs, hogyan randizzon húsz nővel az ország szeme láttára. A színfalak mögött rideg, esetlen és érzelmileg bezárkózott. Miközben Dev azon küszködik, hogy Charlie összemelegedjen a versenyzőkkel egy szédületes, világ körüli turné során, a két férfi kezd megnyílni egymás előtt, és Charlie rájön, hogy Devvel sokkal jobb közöttük a kémia, mint bármelyik női partnerével. De még a valóságshow-k is forgatókönyv szerint történnek, és ahhoz, hogy megtalálják az utat a boldog befejezéshez, el kell gondolkodniuk azon, kinek a szerelmi történetét is mesélik el.
SZELLEMES ÉS SZÍVMELENGETŐ ROMKOM,
AMI A VÖRÖS, FEHÉR ÉS KIRÁLYKÉKET IDÉZI.
Kiss Her Once for Me
The Charm Offensive returns with a festive romantic comedy about a woman who fakes an engagement with her landlord...only to fall for his sister. One year ago, recent Portland transplant Ellie Oliver had her dream job in animation and a Christmas Eve meet-cute with a woman at a bookstore that led her to fall in love over the course of a single night. But after a betrayal the next morning and the loss of her job soon after, she finds herself adrift, alone, and desperate for money.
Finding work at a local coffee shop, she's just getting through the days-until Andrew, the shop's landlord, proposes a shocking, drunken plan: a marriage of convenience that will give him his recent inheritance and alleviate Ellie's financial woes and isolation. They make a plan to spend the holidays together at his family cabin to keep up the ruse. But when Andrew introduces his new fiancee to his sister, Ellie is shocked to discover it's Jack-the mysterious woman she fell for over the course of one magical Christmas Eve the year before. Now, Ellie must choose between the safety of a fake relationship and the risk of something real. Perfect for fans of Written in the Stars and One Day in December, Kiss Her Once for Me is the queer holiday rom-com that you'll want to cozy up with next to the fire.
The Charm Offensive: A Novel
????In this witty and heartwarming romantic comedy-reminiscent of Red, White & Royal Blue and One to Watch-an awkward tech wunderkind on a reality dating show goes off-script when sparks fly with his producer.
Dev Deshpande has always believed in fairy tales. So it's no wonder then that he's spent his career crafting them on the long-running reality dating show Ever After. As the most successful producer in the franchise's history, Dev always scripts the perfect love story for his contestants, even as his own love life crashes and burns. But then the show casts disgraced tech wunderkind Charlie Winshaw as its star.
Charlie is far from the romantic Prince Charming Ever After expects. He doesn't believe in true love, and only agreed to the show as a last-ditch effort to rehabilitate his image. In front of the cameras, he's a stiff, anxious mess with no idea how to date twenty women on national television. Behind the scenes, he's cold, awkward, and emotionally closed-off.
As Dev fights to get Charlie to connect with the contestants on a whirlwind, worldwide tour, they begin to open up to each other, and Charlie realizes he has better chemistry with Dev than with any of his female co-stars. But even reality TV has a script, and in order to find to happily ever after, they'll have to reconsider whose love story gets told.
