Between the Lines by Tracey MagruderMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Sadie Reed is a book editor in New York. Having split from her narcissistic, abusive ex, who is an unsuccessful author who has been leeching off her for years, she is camping on her best friend (and boss)'s floor. So when her friend asks her to take on Corbyn Pearce, a brilliant author who has already driven off three previous editors and is seriously in danger of missing the deadline for his latest novel, Sadie feels a change of scenery could be just what the doctor ordered.
Corbyn was badly injured in a car accident and since then he has been a recluse at his manor house in the Cotswolds, he is bogged down in his latest book but resistant to any advice or suggestions from editors ... until Sadie refuses to take no for an answer.
Can these two metaphorically and literally scarred individuals find their way to one another?
I was enjoying this and then suddenly it just got glacially slow and nothing much happened for chapter after chapter until the inevitable rather OTT 'conflict'.
Overall, I liked it but I didn't love it.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
