LFL Romance Trade! šŸ“• ā¤ļø šŸ“•

It’s Day 25 of my 30 Days of Writing project and today I’m sharing the romance trade I recently made at a Little Free Library.

I finished reading It’s a Love Story by Annabel Monaghan about two weeks ago. Read my full review here!

I thought it was very appropriate to trade one romance for another, so I swapped it for The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter. She is a new-to-me author and I can’t wait to dive in this holiday season!

The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year is 304 pages. The audiobook is about 8 hours and has dual narration by Saskia Maarleveld (who also narrated this 5-star read) and Zachary Webber.

And I just learned Ally Carter is coming out with another holiday romance this year, more on that in an upcoming Tuesday TBR.

The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year, from the publisher:

The bridge is out. The phones are down. And the most famous mystery writer in the world just disappeared out of a locked room two days before Christmas.

Meet Maggie Chase and Ethan Wyatt:

She’s the new Queen of the Cozy Mystery.

He’s Mr. Big-time Thriller Guy.

She hates his guts.

He thinks her name is Marcie (no matter how many times she’s told him otherwise.)

But when they both accept a cryptic invitation to attend a Christmas house party at the English estate of a reclusive fan, neither is expecting their host to be the most powerful author in the world: Eleanor Ashley, the Duchess of Death herself.

That night, the weather turns, and the next morning Eleanor is gone.

She vanished from a locked room, and Maggie has to wonder: Is Eleanor in danger? Or is it all some kind of test? Is Ethan the competition? Or is he the only person in that snowbound mansion she can trust?

As the snow gets deeper and the stakes get higher, every clue will bring Maggie and Ethan closer to the truth—and each other. Because, this Christmas, these two rivals are going to have to become allies (and maybe more) if they have any hope of saving Eleanor.

Assuming they don’t kill each other first.

The laugh out loud holiday “romystery” that you’ve been waiting for!
