The Write Time
You can’t love someone else until you learn to love yourself.
If anyone had asked her nine years ago, Jenny Green would have said she was ready to settle down into domestic bliss. She had a boyfriend, a job teaching English at the local high school, and everything was falling into place.
Except the guy was wrong, the job was hard, and everything was actually falling apart.
Enter Ben Allouer: the strong, sexy wrestling coach who probably would have asked Jenny on a date the moment he met her, if it weren’t for that other guy.
But even when Jenny is single, a series of stumbles keep her and Ben apart, and when Jenny begins to fill the gaps with drunken escapades and one night stands, Ben is forced to watch from the sidelines.
Now, nine years later, everyone around her seems to have their lives in order, but Jenny is left feeling more alone than ever before. Luckily, Ben is more than willing to step in to help her find her balance.
It’d be easy to fall for him if it weren’t for Jenny’s past continuing to haunt her, convincing her she’s not good enough for the kind of love Ben wants to give.
Ben wants to wrestle Jenny away from her own self-doubt, but is she strong enough to let love win?
Enjoy this playlist of music that inspired me as I wrote The Write Place! Some of the songs remind me of certain characters, and some remind me of certain scenes. Some are just for the overall vibe. Read more here.
If you like the music, consider buying the book!
Content Warnings/Possible Triggers
- multiple explicit, on-page sex scenes
- descriptions of car accident, death, grief (some chapters are flashbacks, so a friend’s death is quasi-on-page)
- lots of alcohol consumption and over-consumption by FMC and a hint that a side character may be a recovering alcoholic
- cheating/adultery by a past boyfriend (NOT THE MMC)
- domestic violence (one of the characters throws a dish at a wall during a fight, which I think is domestic violence, but it doesn’t go further than that)
- one night stands talked about but not described in detail
- feeling alienated by a friend
- emotionally difficult parent
- profanity
