Savannah Riley is really tired of hearing that time heals all wounds. It’s been almost eight years and her wounds are far from healed, though she’s navigating her trauma the best she can. Despite all that, she’s decided to look for the good in the world, to take everything the universe dishes out and turn it into an opportunity to embrace. Never would she have imagined that one of those opportunities would be meeting Hollywood heartthrob Lincoln Ashmore…or falling in love with him.

In the small southern town of Sandlapper Cove to film a new movie, Link figures he’ll get a little break from his chaotic life in L.A., some stunning scenic views, and maybe a tan. But what he gets instead is so much more than he could have bargained for: the love of his life.

Will her past be too much for Lincoln to handle?

Will life in the spotlight be too much for Savannah?

Only one way to find out: Carpe f*cking diem.

My thoughts on Carpe F*cking Diem

This book offers a refreshingly unique spin on the concept of carpe diem that kept me engaged from start to finish. It skillfully blends moments of excitement and laughter with others filled with tension and contemplation, delivering a rollercoaster of emotions. If you’re a fan of romances that seamlessly transition between heartwarming and heart-wrenching, this is a must-read. Kudos to Savvy for not succumbing to instant fangirling over the enigmatic Mr. Ashmore.

Lincoln Ashmore, known affectionately as Link, defies the stereotypical image of a thriving movie star, proving to be surprisingly down-to-earth. His perfect match, Savannah (Savvy), remains calm and collected in situations where others might falter. The characters’ grounded and supportive dynamic, coupled with their subtle influence on each other’s negative thoughts, makes for a compelling and heartwarming narrative. The instant connection between them is palpable, and the conclusion couldn’t have been more fitting—I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! For fans of romance with a unique twist, this book is a worthwhile addition to your reading list.
