It Shouldn’t Be You by Jessica Wakefield
Publisher: Love & Daisies Press (Released 29 July 2025)
To revive his stalled career, jaded journalist Declan Collins is assigned to cover the Hamiltons’ extravagant Christmas party—the same Hamiltons who are demolishing the community centre where Declan spent some of the best moments of his childhood.
Addey Bennet, the event planner behind the party, needs everything to go perfectly. Her business is on the line, and so is her chance to mend a strained relationship with her powerful parents—the ones footing the bill.
Neither of them expects the spark between them.
Addey never planned to fall for the man who resents everything her family stands for. Declan never imagined he’d be drawn to the Hamiltons’ daughter. But as tensions rise and emotions deepen, their unexpected connection could cost them everything they’ve worked for—and maybe even a shot at love.
It’s Gilmore Girls meets Romeo and Juliet in this heartfelt, kissing only story, combining humour and faith, with sparks flying off the page.
Narelle Atkins has started a weekly roundup of books on preorder. The post goes live every Friday night.
Congratulations, Jessica! I’ve added this to my wish list. Quite literally, I have a ‘When I get KU Back’ list of books I want to read which is kept in the back of my diary. Looking forward to read it!
