Book review: FIGHTING WORDS, by R.S. Grey


I read this book expecting a ton of laughs and instead, got a beautiful love story with a lot of yearning. Two writers, coming from very different lifestyles, get together, not by choice. The rookie editor is tasked to convince the recluse writer to write the third installment in a series that has readers enthralled and the publishing house impatient.

She was sunshine and optimism, passionate about writing; he was grumpy and had writers block.  I loved the picturesque village where he lived, the quiet life, the few friends. She comes from a family of doctors, felt like the ugly ducking of her family, but in this environment, she blossomed.


The story feels like it evolves from one squabble to another, until they hit their stride. I loved the evolution of Summer as she deals with her penchant of pleasing her family, even at the cost of her happiness. Their chemistry was hot and they were falling in love, almost against their will. It was a pleasure to read how they got in sync as they lived together until it felt natural.  


There were some parts where the prose was sublime, like a poem, and it described so very well their feelings:


He knows just what to do, lifting me up until I’m left empty and bereft and then slowly pressing back into me until it feels like our souls are touching.


There was some humor but the gist of the story was utter romance, lots of feelings, the yearning that I loved, the indecision of does he, does she, the frustration at what they perceived was a distance between life situations.  It was a lovely meandering through the story of a couple who fell in love against their wishes but completely under the control of their hearts.  Supreme!

The best part about this book is that it’s a small town romance, and I love this trope.  Everyone knows everyone else’s business, gossip tra...
