ABOUT THE LOVE FACTORY


Anna is a writer whose small but perfectly formed novels sell zip. When she falls on hard times and tries her hand at erotic fiction, she faces an uncomfortable truth. Though she's a wife and mother of two, her stories fail to fly because she's never experienced true sexual desire. Even her Sicilian grandmother - wearer of diamante sunglasses and knock-off Louis Vuitton - knows more than she does about true passion.
A romance-writing workshop doesn't help, so Anna turns to her friends for inspiration. As secrets and desires are revealed, Anna discovers more about the people close to her than she ever knew. When Cordelia, a romance-writing classmate, suggests she borrows an alter ego to banish her inhibitions, a new world opens up to Anna and The Love Factory - a group of writers penning ever more successful sexy stories - is born.
And yet Anna knows that she can't rely on borrowed passion and an alter ego forever. For her tales to truly sizzle, she needs to find a proper love of her own.

My Review: 

The Love Factory is a beautiful book. I loved the pace and the build. I felt for Anna (the protagonist) and her circumstances, how the family was placed amongst its setting, and her relationships with her friends. I was rooting for her the whole time. Cordelia was a solid spunky addition to the story. The stories within the story all worked beautifully. You always wanted more from the episodes of the story stories from the Love Factory as did the fictitious customers.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Many thanks to Quercus and NetGalley for providing me a complimentary copy of The Love Factory in exchange for my honest review.
