Love, Strictly Speaking Review

ABOUT THE BOOK

Wes Hawthorne has always been a man of few words. For him, everything is easier when he’s quiet. Content to speak only through his writing, he’s overjoyed when he gets picked for an internship to write the biography of one of the country’s wealthiest venture capitalists, and it’s exactly what he needs to start his future life and make his dad proud.

What he didn’t count on was another author working on the project with him. Sammy Faraday is everything Wes isn’t—spontaneous, exuberant, endlessly cheerful—and she seems to love nothing more than pushing him over the edge. Sometimes literally.

But the longer Wes works with Sammy, the more he starts to open up and find courage he’s never known. When feelings grow on both sides, the two of them make a pact to keep things professional (aka firmly in the friend zone). But with every passing day, Wes loses more of his heart and finds himself no longer chasing the safe and certain future he always thought he wanted, but something less so with the potential to be infinitely better.

All he has to do is convince Sammy that an uncharted future is better faced together. But to do that, he’ll have to find his ever-elusive voice or risk losing her at the end of the semester. No pressure.

Love, Strictly Speaking can be read as a standalone but is better enjoyed as part of the series.

REVIEW

Love Strictly Speaking is book 4 in the Terms of Inheritance series. These books can be read alone, out of order or as a series. Love Strictly Speaking reads as a light, fun, romance with engaging and dynamic characters that bring unique experiences and outlooks to the overall plot. The author does an excellent job at introducing the characters within the book and setting up the scenes to be enjoyable and memorable. The story pace moves along quickly, and I liked that through the characters you discover a lesson on finding your voice and realizing what you bring to the world. Often, I feel like contemporary romance is just about the romance. In this book, you can also gain insight what the characters' experiences mean to you. This is a clean romance.
