~~2 IT WAS NOT THE WRITE STUFF FOR ME STARS~~

This book was clearly not for me. The cover was the first thing that caught my attention and the other thing that drew me in was... it was free. :)

It was rather boring and I'm not sure why I finished it. The only thing I can think of was that my OCD kicked in and I couldn't not finish it. I did notice that there's a second book in this series, but I think I'll pass on it. Just wasn't my cuppa.

In the latest from Tiffany King, we see a sexier side to her writing as we experience a story of a bright, quirky, yet insecure writer fall for the good-lookin’, ab-toting gorgeous cover model.

She was best known as NS Blake In the latest from Tiffany King, we see a sexier side to her writing as we experience a story of a bright, quirky, yet insecure writer fall for the good-lookin’, ab-toting gorgeous cover model. This story is a coming together of two people living two very different kinds of lives, finding each other under unlikely circumstances.

Nicole spent her days and nights pounding the keyboard of her computer, putting stories to paper in hopes of continuing to live her dream. She was best known as NS Blake and her latest novel was about to be released into the world. When her best friend and assistant extraordinaire, Olivia, invites her to check out the cover photography shoot, she never expected to come across the most beautiful man she’d ever seen (with equally as beautiful abs, it should be noted). Her first impression with cover model Alec doesn’t represent her finest moments and she is as mortified as she is intrigued by him.

When she seems Alec on another night and decides to muster the confidence to take him home, a night full of excitement and possibility goes horribly sour and the last thing she wants to do is see him again. But with a book coming out soon, Nicole finds herself on tour with Alec, where she struggles to hate him despite her best efforts.

We get to know Alec a little better as we see at first a friendship take flight, and slowly, see both of them fall for each other. The story is full of moments that are funny and sexy and completely familiar for someone immersed in the book world. We also see some things happen that bring Alec and Nicole closer together.

You can always expect well written, well developed stories from Tiffany King and with this latest, you certainly get that. I would’ve liked to have felt a closer connection to Alec, and thus between the two of them, better understanding what it was about each other that made them fall. Alec made a lot of mistakes with his relationship with Nicole, and even though he tried to explain where he was coming from, it was difficult to get past those things to really fall in love with him as a character.

Nonetheless, the story was fun to read, especially for those who live in the book community. If you’re looking to escape into a book and indulge in an angsty, sexy read, this is a great choice to pick up. ...more

Okay, okay. Normally, I don't read New Adult. Hell, I didn't even like myself in my early 20's, why would I want to read about someone else's mistakes?

HOWEVER, I LOVED THIS BOOK! Loved it hard. Probably because Nicole reminded me so much of myself at that age. Although, I'd been married for 3 years by the time I was 22. (Yeah, I know. I started way young.) I liked that Nicole was a real person. She was flawed and insecure but still pretty damn grown up for a woman in college. She might be naive ...more

I am really getting into these books where the literary world that we know and love is at the forefront of the plot. I have often wondered what happens behind the scenes and I am loving getting this insight. I always wondered whether any of these authors fall for their cover models but throw in a 22 year old virgin author and you know that the fun factor is going to be huge! Thoroughly enjoyed this book and despite a reading schedule I have dived into book 2...oops! (full review to come)

Best Tiffany King book ever! Add to that the New Adult genre and I was so sold.

Gorgeous blue eyed Alec is the cover model for Nicole's new book. She really should have changed her clothes before she went to the shoot on the beach. Fresh from her writing cave, she was one hot mess. Her awkward state and his sexy good looks had her fumbling right into the waves. Guess that wet t-shirts is gonna show him she not wearing a bra.

I'd give this one 3 1/2 solid stars. This one was a harder one for me to rate. On one hand I liked the story, but when I compare it to Tiffany Kings YA books, especially 'Wishing For Someday Soon' which is one of my favorites, this one just falls short.

One thing I normally love about her characters is the way she writes her boys. But in this one the main character, Alec, does something SO incredibly horrible in the first few chapters it made me lose all respect for him (even though the scene in I'd give this one 3 1/2 solid stars. This one was a harder one for me to rate. On one hand I liked the story, but when I compare it to Tiffany Kings YA books, especially 'Wishing For Someday Soon' which is one of my favorites, this one just falls short.

One thing I normally love about her characters is the way she writes her boys. But in this one the main character, Alec, does something SO incredibly horrible in the first few chapters it made me lose all respect for him (even though the scene in her apartment with his cat was pretty hilarious..I was kind of cheering him on, actually). After that scene I really didn't want to see Alec AT ALL, EVER AGAIN. And then the way Nicole's supposed 'best friend' keeps throwing her into situations with him kind of made me hate her too. She was supposed to be this girl's BEST FRIEND, and I'm sorry, but when a guy treats you the way he did, you just don't do that. Sorry. Nuh uh. And not only does she do it once, but SEVERAL times throughout the book. I was just not okay with it.

I did appreciate the fact that Nicole held on to the grudge against Alec for at least a little while, but she did cave pretty easily to her desire for him because he was just that good looking. I mean, he was okay. He talked to her a little bit, he was nice, he supported her after something bad happened, but he never really got through to me as this amazing person. So then later when he pulls another hugely douchetastic move yet AGAIN (and I knew this was coming btw) I was kind of just done with him.

Then what happens in the end and the way he wins her back was pretty weak to me as well. I just didn't see the grand gesture. I needed more And I was also pretty disappointed in Nicole for how quickly she decided everything was okay and he was given ANOTHER chance. From my point of view, her forgiveness stemmed more from the fact that he was so amazingly good looking, than from any real gesture he put forth. The connection between both of them was just kind of missing for me. I saw them more as in lust than in love. I have a harder time connecting to stories when that is the case.

I also feel the need to comment on the book's cover. For all the talk in the novel about how much emphasis was put on Nicole's book cover shoots, I would have expected more from this one. Not just a shirtless guy. It's okay, I guess this is supposed to be Alec's abs that were talked about so much in the novel? But I kind of wished it would have been like the mock up they talked about for the novel Nicole was writing. Not a huge thing, but still...

So while for the most part I did find the story entertaining and I did like it, it didn't go much further than that for me. When you don't really love or have a lot of respect for the main characters it makes it harder to fall into a story. While I did like the sneak peak into the world of being an author (all the signings and events were fun to read about) that was where my love stayed. The story was just kind of down the middle. I liked it, I didn't love it. ...more

As a blogger, I've worked very closely with several indie authors and had the immense privilege of hanging out with several of them this past summer at a conference!

I really loved getting into Nicole's mind and seeing her writing habits, as well as how she deals with promoting her novels and everything that goes into it. Nicole herself is a hot mess though. She's a bit shy and awkward, but there's just something really endearing about her! There were so many scenes in this book I couldn't help but laugh at the poor woman! The icing on top of the cake? She's a romance author who writes incredibly sexy scenes... and still has her v-card! The right opportunity just hasn't presented itself to Nicole.... until she meets her oh-so-sexy male model, Alec. Even after acting like a total nutcase in front of him, he doesn't seem too put off by her. In fact, the two really hit it off after an evening out with their friends. They have instant chemistry with one another and it's seriously hawt.... until Nicole mentions that she's still a virgin.

*Crickets*

Alec isn't a bad guy. Sure, he's good looking, but he's also working as a bartender by night and a pre-med student by day. He's flirty, fun, and polite- what's NOT to like? Well Alec Petropoulos, you really pissed me off with the way you handled the big V news. It was completely out of character for him to act that douchey, so it really took a while for him to win me back over. Poor Nicole. I wanted to jump into the book and give her a big hug. She was humiliated for one, and two- no one likes to feel rejected.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy for Nicole to say c'est la vie and move on with her life. Her best friend and cover designer, Olivia, also helps Nicole with some of her publicity. Having to attend a few book signings and conferences, Olivia points out that the hot thing right now is to have the male model accompany her to help promo her book. Uh.... AWKWARD.

Alec and Nicole make it work, however, and decide to try their hand at friendship. Too bad the two of them having steaming hot chemistry together! That chemistry is bubbling beneath the surface ready to explode! We do find out why Alec is against taking Nicole's v-card and while I can't begrudge him his reason, he probably could have handled his reaction a lot better than he did. Still. He's a guy and guys sometimes have NO tact.

Nicole can't deny that having Alex with her is doing wonders for her upcoming book sales. The more time they spend with each other, the more Nicole is determined to get him to crack. And crack he does....

I really enjoyed this novel by Tiffany, even though I did find Alec to have a bit duality to his character. There were a few of his actions that I didn't particularly like, especially after he acted in a completely opposite manner prior to them. Aside from those inconsistencies, King has created a really fun romance that I had a blast reading. Any time I can strongly relate to a book and its characters makes it that much more worthwhile for me! ...more

That was so long ago, wow! Finally last weekend, I was in the mood for a novel with a virgin romance author trope and dove in.

I really liked the cover and how it tied in well to the story. I also loved all the what it’s like to be an indie writer details. Nicole Blake (or N.S. Blake to her readers) was living her dream as a young professional independent historical romance author while still in college pursuing a formal degree. She was one of the lucky ones and could let her degree be a fall back if she needed to give teaching a try someday. Her relationship with her bestie Olivia was odd language-wise but based on love and a professional partnership that was lucrative for them both.

Olivia, who did double duty as her book cover designer/photographer, interrupted Nicole one day while she was on a writing roll and begged her to come down to the latest photoshoot without delay. Why the urgency though? I missed why really. I questioned it in the moment and probably should have reread to make sure I understood it. But I was too lazy to do so and what came out of that was Nicole being introduced to medical school student Alec Petropoulos.

Now Nicole had a sinfully sexy male candidate for help eliminating her pesky V-card. Only Alec put the brakes on her plan (for his own very valid reasons) once she admitted her virgin status. He suggested they be friends only. Understandably her ego got bruised badly, but I could see the wisdom in them getting to know each other a bit before heating things up again. The drama and humor as they worked together doing book signing events was entertaining although not quite what I had in mind when I picked this story for my Sunday reading pleasure.

My favorite quote that summed their journey up well:
‘We had everything a good romance story needed – a rocky beginning, a slow build to a budding relationship several hurdles to overcome, and finally, a happily ever after’ ~Nicole

Next up in this series:
Yes, there is a sequel entitled Writing a Wrong (Write Stuff, #2). However, I don’t feel a sense of urgency to read it yet since I don’t already own it. This is why I normally wait to collect an entire series before diving in so I don’t have to think guiltily about whether or not I should read a book from my collection or buy this new book.

But also, I feel that this first novel really can be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel for now. I will probably read the sequel someday when I’m in the mood to see how Nicole and Alec navigated their new life together as a permanent couple and also for an update on Olivia. I’m hoping Olivia gave Taylor, whom she dumped when things were getting serious on his part, another chance to prove to her he is the One.

I was ready to pre-order this book on the simple fact that it was by Tiffany King alone. But once I started reading the blurb I got through the the first line only, Nicole is not only a historical romance author but she also happens to be a virgin? Sold. Nope, I don't need to read any further because this book was just screaming fun and sexy read. And Tiffany King delivers those things and more. No joke, I inhaled this one. Once I cracked it open there was no chance of stopping to breathe much less eat, sleep or any of those other things a functioning human does. One hour turned into two which turned into four which turned into me finishing the book with a happy little sigh and a huge grin.

It was all fun and games until my next book, when I would write her in as a character and kill her off by dropping a meteor on her head.

I love main characters like Nicole Blake. She's a bit awkward and a bit of an introvert at times. Though I feel like the best thing about Nicole is she is absolutely hilarious. She was very real and in a lot of ways I could see bits of myself at that age in her. She's a very relatable character. It was a lot of fun to watch her start to break out of her shell and put herself out there more. Be bold instead of hiding in her apartment behind her keyboard.

I'm sure an outsider listening to one of our conversations would seriously question our friendship. Words like whore and slutbag were regular terms of endearment for us.

Nicole's best friend Olivia was just as fun as she was. I loved the friendship these two had. The way they interact with each other is just so me. I would totally be friends with either of them in real life. Olivia is also quite the meddler though which is always fun to read. I would crack up whenever she'd instigate a situation and then just never quite look Nicole in the eye out of guilt or trying to pretend she had no idea what was going on around her.

I would have been lying if I said having Alec playing the role of knight in shining armor was unpleasant in the slightest.

Alec Petropoulos. That guy. When I wasn't wanting to do things to him that I should never, ever mention in public, I wanted to smack the crap out of him. I think I even had a status update on Goodreads that just said "Ass :(" Alec isn't perfect. He makes mistakes and I wanted to stay mad at him. I really tried. Once he would explain the reasoning behind the choices he's made I'd get it though. I still wanted to smack him and tell him that he was being an idiot and should have taken chances anyway, just because something turned out bad once doesn't mean it will again. Frustrating, yes, but I still love the guy.

It was time to put Operation Seduction into play.

Oh. My. Word. Tiffany King can write the hell out of a steamy scene. The chemistry between Nicole and Alec is explosive. I've read books before where the virgin main character decides it's time to get rid of her V-card and quite frankly it's all just been a big trashy mess. This one is sweet and quirky and hilarious and very sexy. Instant favorite and I feel like everyone would enjoy this. People who are afraid of NA or haven't read any good NA in the past? This is the book for you!

If you’ve never been to a mass signing or weekend book conference before, then you’re really missing out, and you’ll see just how much when you read Kings novel. I had to laugh out loud at all the antics of the ladies, ogling the male models, lining up for pictures and signatures and insisting that the models take off their shirts for photos–an aspect that has indeed become a “thing” at book conferences and signings. And King captures the chaos and awesomeness that it is as she writes from personal experience from the many signings and conferences she’s attended (and I’m lucky enough to say that I’ve attended two with her, as well!). Everything about the writer/reader world that King incorporates in her novel is 100% true, and having experienced much of it at conferences I’ve attended, I was just tickled pink with how much I could truly visualize as I read. King certainly has a way with words, and I adored her insights into the bookish world, a world we don’t hear much about inside books, which makes it all the more awesome.

And Alec? Mmmmmmmmm. He is definitely hotness on a stick, and I loved how honest and forthright he was. He’s a man who knows what he wants, and he has some shocking but valid reasons for denying N.S. Blake, reasons that made me respect him on a whole nother level as the novel unfolded. Of course, there is definitely a lot of friction between N.S. Blake and Alec, and I loved how their friendship bloomed. Their relationship is extremely realistic, and I enjoyed their antics as the plot thickened.

One of the aspects that I really adore about this novel is that it’s completely unique. While the “virgin trying to de-virginalize herself” seems to be a plot that I’m noticing more often lately, King doesn’t follow the same patter as others, and her novel really stands apart. From the intricacies of the bookish world to the chemistry and maturity of the main characters, King takes readers on a realistic journey of love and heartache, and it’s so very amazing. This is a must read! ...more

How do I start this? Wow. Totally blew me away. I can't believe this. This book is totally awesome. I deeply felt every word that is written in this book. And it's like peering into the world of writers. Wow. It's like Nicole is my friend, and I'm Olivia, doing all the wonderful stuff to help my friend. Really. It's totally bizarre that I found myself reading it non stop. And when I finally do, there's like three chapters left before I finish This review first appeared on When Books Defy Gravity.

And it's like peering into the world of writers. Wow. It's like Nicole is my friend, and I'm Olivia, doing all the wonderful stuff to help my friend. Really. It's totally bizarre that I found myself reading it non stop. And when I finally do, there's like three chapters left before I finish it. Wow. Wow. I am totally speechless.

The Write Stuff is about Nicole Blake or N. S. Blake to her readers, a twenty-two year old girl who is a historical romance writer, still in college, and is still carrying the v-card. Her best friend, Olivia, helps her with all the stuff, from her book covers, blog tours, checking her emails and stuff like that. One morning, Nicole meets Olivia at the set of her new book cover photoshoot where she met her new model, Alec Petropoulos, a hot bartender/model/premed student. Sparks fly between the two and Nicole new in that moment that Alec is the perfect guy to lose her virginity with since he has all the things that shouts he's the perfect one-night-stand candidate. Little to her knowledge, he never bangs a girl who is still a virgin. And what was she supposed to do about that? Seduce him. In every way possible.

I totally suck at writing this. Anyway, I really enjoyed this book. It's not all too heavy to read. It's very light to and will surely make you laugh. I did. I read non stop the veary next day when Tiffany sent me her book. Well, I did stop though, like three chapters before the book ended. I think I said that part already. I need sleep that time! Can you blame me? Good gods! The revelations just killed me.

I have one question for you though, Tiff. Have you woven your and your hubby's love story here, in this very book? LOL. Sorry. I just really need to ask that question since you know why, uhm, the last chapter? And don't give me that "what happens under the cover, stays under the cover" statement. I need to know! ...more

Many of you don't know this but I've been in a book slump for 2 months, that's why y'all haven't seen me around the blog lately. My grandma was hospitalized and it hasn't been easy. But now that's she's recovering I have a little time to read. AND I knew, I just knew The Write Stuff was going to be one of those I-love-this-book-so much-I-never want-it-to-end-type. And that's exactly what happened.

She Many of you don't know this but I've been in a book slump for 2 months, that's why y'all haven't seen me around the blog lately. My grandma was hospitalized and it hasn't been easy.

And that's exactly what happened.

Nicole is a self published author who takes us on a journey of self discovery and I loved it. She first starts off as this shy girl who doesn't really get out much but little by little her shell starts to crack with the help of this gorgeous guy who I just wanted to lick from head to toe. Alec helped Nikki grow in ways that boosted her confidence and I was so happy for her. Sometimes a stranger helps you in ways you never saw coming and I think it's great that she was honest and true to herself the whole time.

What I loved most about The Write Stuff is how I felt like I was in an authors brain, I mean Tiffany King portrayed every scene with such raw honesty that you couldn't help but feel like you were apart of something amazing. Now I just want to hang around a bunch of authors and cover models, Thanks for that Tiffany.

Oh I also loved the friendship between Nikki and her best friend Olivia. Olivia made me laugh with the ways she never held back, I mean . . .

"How was I supposed to know you'd show up looking life one of those bad Wal-Mart customer pictures people post on Facebook? Believe me, if I would have known that was the look you were going for, I would have shielded the eyes of the kids on the beach."

If you ever wanted to go behind the scenes with authors and their brain, this is the book for you. Or if you ever wanted to fall in love with a sexy cover model, this is the book for you. And if you just want to read a good book that will make you laugh and swoon, this is definitely the book for you.
