Lizbeth:  There's one thing I'm absolutely convinced of: romance is real, and true love is a force for good in the world.  I have 957 paperback romance novels in my attic bedroom that prove it.  When my world crashes down around me and JJ Bailey shows up, he lays down the ultimate challenge: prove romance is real. The fact that JJ thinks romance is a farce only makes me more determined to prove him wrong.  Romance is real and love saves the day. Hold my spreadsheets.  JJ: Life has gotten kind of stagnant. Then Lizbeth literally crashes into my world with her ideas of storybook romance and love. Her silky red hair drives me to distraction. What the hell is a meet-cute anyway? Romance does not save the world. I've been there. Failed at that. My parents divorce has convinced me that not even love can survive real life. Perpetual bachelorhood looks pretty safe to me.  Except Lizbeth is determined to help me see the light of love. I'm not about to let her win our little challenge, because I know the truth. Forget her books. I'll show her that romance is a construct, and love hurts. LOVESICK is the second novel in the Coffee Shop series. This is a clean, standalone (second in series) contemporary romance with sizzle and spice—but no sex scenes. Guaranteed bantering and happily ever after.
