 MY THOUGHTS AND BOOK REVIEW

"Love is an Art" by Kathy Strobos presents a delightful romantic comedy that cleverly intertwines mistaken identities, deception, and the unpredictable whims of love. Tessa finds herself entangled in a situation where she must pose as an artist while investigating a scam that defrauded her friend. However, the complication arises when she encounters Zeke, a charming man who despises lawyers, the very profession Tessa is pretending not to belong to.

Their initial connection sizzles with chemistry, but Tessa's fabricated identity threatens to unravel their budding relationship. The humor and tension mount as Zeke notices Tessa's lack of artistic talent, casting doubts about her honesty. Despite the deception, their interactions are filled with laughter and adventures, contrasting starkly with Zeke's past experience with a workaholic lawyer ex-girlfriend.

As their relationship deepens, both Tessa and Zeke grapple with trust issues stemming from their respective pasts. The story navigates the precarious balance between truth and deceit, posing the question of whether genuine love can overcome the hurdles of hidden identities and mistrust.

Strobos crafts a charming and witty narrative that keeps readers engaged, drawing them into the whirlwind romance between Tessa and Zeke. The characters' dynamics are both endearing and relatable, providing a delightful journey through the unpredictable landscapes of love and litigation.

Set in a world where humor and romance collide, "Love is an Art" offers a standalone story within a series, ensuring a heartwarming and satisfying happily ever after for readers. For those seeking a lighthearted romantic comedy filled with entertaining twists, genuine emotions, and a dash of deception, Strobos's novel promises an enjoyable escape into a world where love triumphs against the odds.

Thanks to Rachel Random Resources, Netgalley, and Strawbundle Publishing for an advance copy for my honest review. 




Book Description

He hates lawyers. So I’m a lawyer pretending to be an artist. Forgetting one tiny detail: I can’t paint.

Tessa: There’s something about the way the blond guy laughs and leans in to listen. My gaze keeps returning to him.

The only problem is, we’re at an art gallery after work, and I’ve swapped my lawyer suit for a paint-splattered shirt. I’m pretending to be a struggling artist, acting as bait to entice a scammer who conned my friend out of thousands of dollars.

I look pathetic. But still, I approach Hot Guy.

Our glances meet, and an awareness shimmers across. He offers to buy me a drink--we’re definitely flirting--and then he asks me what I do.
Just when Scammer Guy is in earshot. I have no choice but to say that I’m an artist. I can tell Hot Guy later I’m not.

But then he says he hates lawyers.
Now what?

Zeke: She’s the worst artist I’ve ever seen.

And I hate that that makes me suspect that she’s lying to me. After my ex-girlfriend cheated on me, trust is in short supply.

She makes me laugh, and it’s one adventure after another with her.

Definitely different from my workaholic lawyer ex.

Maybe it’s time to give love a second chance.

All is fair in love and litigation, but when truth and deception clash, can you trust your heart?
