Do I Know You? | Emily Wibberley

"When a couple feels like they're married to a stranger, a flirtatious game of pretend becomes the spark they need to reignite their relationship in this romance from the authors of The Roughest Draft. Eliza and Graham's marriage is quietly failing. With their five-year anniversary approaching, neither of them are thrilled about the weeklong getaway to the Treeline Retreat they've been gifted. Nestled on the Northern California coastline, the inn prides itself on being a destination for those in love and those looking to find it-but for Eliza and Graham it's the last place they want to be. After a well-meaning guest mistakes Eliza and Graham as being single and introduces them at the hotel bar, they don't correct him. Suddenly, they're pretending to be perfect strangers and it's unexpectedly...fun? Eliza and Graham find themselves flirting like it's their first date and sharing pillow talk secrets. Everyone at the retreat can see the electric chemistry between Eliza and Graham's alter egos. But as they realize this performance could be the thing that saves their marriage, their game becomes something more"--

This book was a nice twist on your typical #RomCom story. Highlights the importance of communication in relationships without being preachy or generic. The two different POV, each written by a different spouse/author, were especially entertaining. While the cover gives off ‘summer read‘ vibes, I think it‘s a fun read anytime of the year.

I really enjoyed this! And it was a refreshingly unique concept. I don't think I've ever read a romance novel featuring a couple that's already married, but it was incredibly endearing and sexy. Eliza and Graham are about to celebrate their 5-year anniversary, but they've been stuck in a rut, not communicating as well, and need to get their spark back. So when they meet each other at the bar and are "introduced" as strangers, they run with it.

JamieArc I really enjoyed this one too! 13mo

A couple go away for their 5 year anniversary, trying to find what their relationship lost. Circumstances allow them to pretend they are meeting for the first time. I really enjoyed this fresh take on a romance about a couple who is already married. It was fun while also showcasing some honest things about imperfect marriages. Read while on my own 5 year anniversary trip to St. Lucia, with the BEST reading view from our room.

Suet624 That‘s quite the spot! 13mo

julieclair We have been to St. Lucia a couple of times on cruises, so just one day at a time. We have never spent a week there, but would love to. My son and future daughter-in-law are going there for their honeymoon in May! 🏝️🌴💖 13mo

I really enjoyed this book! The authors also wrote The Roughest Draft but I haven‘t read it yet! I really need to read it soon because I liked this one so much. I fell in love with the characters and I was fully invested in their relationship! I definitely want to read everything from these two authors!

I really liked the concept of this one! The set-up for it worked, and the way the fake meeting/dating helped Graham and Eliza realize what was holding them back from their real relationship was beautiful done. I also like that the internal drama was enough - no need to add a third act breakup just to make it more "interesting." Shows trust on the authors' parts! #contemporaryromance

March‘s #Bookspin list, featuring mostly books that would be good vacation reads for our upcoming trip to St. Lucia (pictured in background). And then there‘s Middlemarch, which I‘m thoroughly enjoying reading with #PemberLittens and need a little boost to not get too far behind 😂

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! Enjoy your trip!!! 14mo

My first #authenticbooks box and to say I'm obsessed is an understatement! Such thoughtfully curated items, it felt like a Valentine for myself, haha. This could quickly become an expensive monthly habit 😹

ICantImReading So glad you like it!! 1y
Jemgirl2014 I may have to check that out. Do you have to subscribe? I bought a Litlove single box before and it was real nice. Unfortunately, the business owner changed everything to monthly subscription. At $90.00 a box that‘s too expensive for me on a monthly basis. lol 1y
swishandflick @Jemgirl2014 you can definitely skip! I've heard other folks say they occasionally order one as a treat. They announce the books early in the month, but the shipping is much later, so from what I can tell you either order a book by the deadline or you don't get one that month. 1y

Jemgirl2014 @swishandflick Oh thanks! I‘m definitely going to check it out. I have a birthday con up in August. haha 😘 1y
Jas16 This is the first subscription box that has really tempted me…. I may have to give in. 1y
DimeryRene I love that company! 1y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I haven‘t read many romance books about a married couple, so I was really intrigued by this #AuthenticBooks choice! It was fun to escape into their vacation and role playing adventures, and it also made me think about the value in making a conscious effort to continually rediscover your partner (and yourself) as your relationship evolves. I also thought the friend they met at the resort was endearing. Sweet, romantic, hopeful!

ICantImReading As an aside, why aren‘t there more married romance books? Maybe I‘m just missing them? I would love any recommendations! 1y
Bklover What a fun premise! 1y
dabbe @ICantImReading All of the Outlander books by Diana Gabaldon come to my mind. And you have time travel, too! 😊 1y
ICantImReading @dabbe ooh, good to know, thank you! I have had those books recommended to me before - I think I get intimidated by the length! But I have heard such good things, someday I need to give them a try 🥰 1y

Next up is my newest book from #AuthenticBooks! The candle smells sooo good and I can‘t wait to do the face mask! They also sent a facial cleansing bar, coffee, and a tote bag (along with the usual customized playlist and food and drink recipes). The box is extra pretty this month, too!

Does anyone have opinions on the Authentic Book subscription? This was my January pick, but without having received it yet it's hard to make a decision on whether or not to pull the trigger on their February box. If I do, I'm leaning towards the new Jojo Moyes. Would love to hear any thoughts/opinions/reviews on this subscription! #authenticbooks

ICantImReading I chose this pick for January, too! I have loved all the boxes I‘ve gotten through Authentic Books. The items are thoughtful with how they relate to the book and the quality has been good. I don‘t get them too often, just as a treat every now and then! It‘s kind of a bummer how the boxes don‘t ship until the end of the month, but it‘s not like I don‘t have other books to read haha. I hope you enjoy - it sounds like you deserve extra TLC right now! 1y
swishandflick @ICantImReading Love to hear that! And totally agree, I'm drowning in unread books so no worries there. I was mostly like "wait, how do I decide whether or not to grab a Feb box if I haven't gotten my January one yet?". But I love the idea of it being an occasional treat! Especially when it's a book that was already on your radar ?? (edited) 1y
