Theywere cowriting literary darlings until they hit a plot hole that turned their lives upside down.
Three years ago, Katrina Freeling and Nathan Van Huysen were the brightest literary stars on the horizon, their cowritten books topping bestseller lists. But on the heels of their greatest success, they ended their partnership on bad terms, for reasons neither would divulge to the public. They haven't spoken since, and never planned to, except they have one final book due on contract.
Facing crossroads in their personal and professional lives, they're forced to reunite. The last thing they ever thought they'd do again is hole up in the tiny Florida town where they wrote their previous book, trying to finish a new manuscript quickly and painlessly. Working through the reasons they've hated each other for the past three years isn't easy, especially not while writing a romantic novel.
While passion and prose push them closer together in the Florida heat, Katrina and Nathan will learn that relationships, like writing, sometimes take a few rough drafts before they get it right.

I loved how the dialogue switched between Katrina and Nathan, the authors of a top selling book who suddenly stopped working together when they finished writing their previous book. As the story unfolds, we start to hear from both of them about what happened in the past and how they feel about being asked to write another book.
The book explores writing, friendship, publishing, fear, hope and choices. Can Katrina and Nathan be honest about their feelings. Can they write another book together? I enjoyed hearing from both characters and was desperate to know what had happened in the past.

Achingly romantic, The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka is an intimate will-they-won't-they love story.
