Jessica Anne Singer’s fondest dream is to make it as a full time author. Unfortunately, it does not seem as if this will happen anytime soon. Having heard about an online writing course, Jessica decides to sign up but is unprepared for her reaction to her professor. She is drawn to him as she has not been drawn to any other man in…well, since she cannot remember. She hasn’t even been on a date for two years. But when she attempts to set up a face-to-face meeting she is shot down. Jessica is not the type to give up. She gets creative and manages to meet him. Yet she was unprepared for what she would be faced with…

Brant Wilson, professor of Jessica’s online creative writing course, never meets with his students. He doesn’t mix with others and is something of a hermit. Following his divorce, he never thought he would have another relationship. But then he has never been as intrigued by a woman as he is by Jessica. Even online they connected. However, Brant has a good reason for keeping to himself and teaching online rather than on campus. Will his reason prove an insurmountable obstruction to a relationship with Jessica? Brant had thought so, but maybe not…

The Write Man For Her is a delightful and charming contemporary romance with a rare hero and a determined heroine. Both of our lead characters have been hurt in the past, with their prospective spouses walking out on them. Jessica had experienced many dead end relationships, finally giving up altogether two years ago. Brant hasn’t had a relationship since his wife, his one attempt a catastrophe that damaged his sense of self even more. Brant is himself a rare hero, the type of man rarely found in a romance novel, for he is so obviously not perfect – although in all honesty, no one really ever is, it is just not as plain to see. Yet, he is a truly superb character and one who really had me thinking ‘what if?’ about my own life. The plot is solid and very well put together. The story flows smoothly and is entirely enjoyable and engrossing. There is some sex, but it is vanilla and gently described. Christie Walker Bos has produced a gem that is unique and exceedingly appealing, not to mention very thought provoking. The Write Man For Her is surely a story that any romance fan would enjoy.
