_______________________________________ When Kate a fledgling bookseller decides to open a
bookshop that celebrates the kinds of genre fiction she loves to read (popular and fun!) she's
surprised to find that not everyone in the town is as excited as she is. Least excited of
all? Sebastian owner of the highbrow bookshop across the road who has rules for everything:
the kind of books he sells the clothes he wears and the people he dates (no-one local).
When the pair find themselves working together on the town's literary festival their growing
attraction becomes harder and harder to ignore. Professional rivalry aside just one steamy
kiss can't mean anything can it? ________________________________________ Early readers

spice Book People is an utterly charming read for fans of enemies-to-lovers romances and
bookish rom-coms . . . Ashenden has crafted a delightful romance that reminds readers of the
magic of books and the unpredictability of love making it a must-read for romantics and book
lovers alike' 'This was sweet and kind and a real homage to people's love of literature and
