Welcome to the Blog Tour for Dedicated to the One I Love by Beth K. Vogt, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: Dedicated to the One I Love 
Author: Beth K. Vogt
Publisher: White Glove
Release Date: June 20, 2023
Genre: Contemporary Romance

She doesn’t believe in love anymore. He doesn’t either.  

They’re perfect for each other. 

Beloved romance novelist Kylie Franklin walked away from her pen-name career as bestselling and award-winning Veronica Hollins the day her husband died. Her loyal readers are eager for the final book in her sensational series. But Kylie’s given up on love, both fictional and in real life. Behind her back, Kylie’s agent contrives a way to get her writing again. 

Joe Edwards has made a name for himself with his popular military suspense novels under the pen name Tate Merrick. Yet he can’t quite break onto the bestseller list. What his books need, his publisher suggests, is some romance. Joe flat refuses. However, his publisher is determined and hires Veronica Hollins to save the day—and his career. 

Veronica and Tate quickly realize they’re Kylie and Joe, good friends who connected online via a popular word game and their mutual love of trivia. Surely they can wrangle their alter egos into this literary collaboration. But as the deadline looms, their differences threaten the romance developing off the page.

   

From a Christy Award-winning author comes this charming mash-up of hidden identities, literary tug of war, and falling in love when you least expect it.

My Thoughts

If you are looking for a cute sweet rom com then this is the book for you! I absolutely enjoyed this book and the characters were fantastic. This is definitely an enemies to more trope and it was oh so good. We meet Kylie right away who is an author that has lost her husband and she is struggling with a bit of grief but pushing herself out of it to write her next book. I really enjoyed how her character developed throughout the story and I think my favorite part was her group of close friends that were there to support her in every aspect of life. Truly she was a believable and relatable character.

The same can be said for our leading gentleman Joe Edwards. We find that him and Kylie have previously "met" online as themselves not as their pen names. So when they meet in real life that is when the story truly takes flight! I mean their in person meet was perfect. Plenty of comedic drama for me. I mean their journey together was perfect. Their arguments, misunderstandings and the egos that had to be dealt with just absolutely perfection and the ending gah!! Absolutely swoony!! 

Overall I thought this was the perfect read to start out my summer! The faith thread was gentle and light so I would definitely consider a clean Christian romance. If you are looking for a fun, light read this is the book you must grab... also if you don't already follow this author make sure you do! Her instagram is absolutely amazing I really enjoy her encouraging words and her posts with her husbands are of my favorite parts of my week! 

I received a digital copy of this book from Just Read. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
