This week I'm featuring A Reason to Run (The Camdyn Series #1) by Christina Coryell.
About the Book
All she wanted was to write a great love story — she had no idea she’d be writing her own.
Words rarely failed Camdyn Taylor. When life handed her complications, she buried herself in capturing them on paper and crafting a perfect narrative. The fact that her latest novel was currently sitting at the top of the bestseller lists let her know she had succeeded—not that anyone else noticed, since she hid behind a pen name.
It had been tempting to step away from the anonymity at times, but not on days like that one. Not when the humiliating video of Peter proposing was going viral and her name was spreading through peoples’ homes like wildfire. Her inclination to run felt justified, especially when she cloaked it with novel research. The change of scenery should offer the perfect quiet backdrop to finish the manuscript on time.
Of course, she hadn’t factored in an unintended clash with local bachelor Cole Parker. His charming smile and witty demeanor leave her intrigued, even though circumstances seem determined to keep him at arm’s length. Despite distractions, can the two of them find a common bond to tie everything together and construct the perfect story?

Book Beginning
The grainy scene could belong to any viral video. Camera a little too unsteady. Two boys cracking jokes in the background. Feet scuffling beyond the picture. Laughter, followed by a hissed command to be quiet.
Nothing remarkable is happening - some nervous coughing, a couple more giggles. But with that many hits, the video has to be something, right?
Friday 56 (56% on my Kindle)
It only took a minute between punching the numbers into the phone and the ringing to begin, and I forced a deep breath into my lungs. First phone conversations always made me inexplicably nervous.
The cover gives away a lot of the story if one looks closely. My Friday Quotes
