It’s set in the New York Broadway business and has major The Proposal vibes, because the two main characters, Holland and Calvin, have to get faked married so Calvin can stay in the country and take a job as a musician on (you guessed it) Broadway. Yet surrounded by theatre and actors, what will it take for Holland and Calvin to realise that they both stopped pretending a long time ago?” ( Synopsis from the publisher)įrom the outset, I suspected this book might very well be ‘my jam’. Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway, while their relationship evolves from awkward roommates to besotted lovers. Impulsively, Holland offers to wed the Irishman to keep him in New York, still keeping her infatuation secret. When he aces the tryout, Calvin’s luck seems to have turned – until his reason for disappearing earlier becomes clear: he doesn’t have a visa.

Keen to repay Calvin, Holland gets him an audition with her uncle, Broadway’s hottest musical director. Then a near-tragedy causes her busker to come to her rescue, only to disappear when the police start asking questions. Lacking the nerve to actually talk to the gorgeous stranger, Holland is destined to admire him from a distance.

Holland Bakker plans her journeys to work around the times the handsome Irish musician, Calvin McLoughlin, plays his guitar in the 50th Street subway station. Publisher: Little Brown Book Group- Piatkus
