Here for a Good Time


Overview

In Pyae Moe Thet War's electrifying and heartfelt new rom-com, a writer's attempt to find inspiration for her new novel is sabotaged by a vacation gone horribly wrong . . . and feelings for her very hot, totally off-limits best friend. Tropes include: ?? Childhood friends-to-clueless-to-lovers ?? Successful writer FMC ?? Hot bookseller MMC ?? Will they (live)/Won't they (also live) ?? Forced Proximity ?? Only one bed (while it lasts)!!!! Poe Myat Sabei has the publishing career that any writer would kill for: her first novel became a number one bestseller and is being turned into a Netflix film. But now on deadline for her second book, Poe is facing a catastrophic case of writer's block. The solution? Book a two-week getaway to an exclusive island resort with her (conveniently handsome) bookseller best friend Zwe, where she'll undoubtedly be inspired to write. But the vacation of their dreams turns into a nightmare when the resort is taken over by a mysterious group that's very armed and very angry. As Poe and Zwe try to leave the island before they're tracked down, they suddenly find themselves facing the kinds of conflicts that only come up when, well, you're trapped in a life-or-death situation on a remote island with your hot and totally off-limits best friend. Will they make it off the island alive? Will Poe meet her deadline? And, most importantly . . . Will they ever get a chance to tell each other how they really feel? 'A winning, heartfelt and utterly unputdownable book' LAURA HANKIN 'A love story that leaps off the page' RUFARO FAITH MAZARURA 'With witty dialogue, surprising twists and some good old-fashioned romantic pining, readers are bound to fall in love' SOPHIE SULLIVAN 'I LOVED IT' RONALI COLLINGS ----- ?? FALL IN LOVE WITH PYAE MOE THET WAR ?? 'If you're looking for a slow burn romance filled with tension, look no further - this is the book for you' ??????????

Reviews

Here for a Good Time is the perfect read for anyone who wished the White Lotus was swoonier. War's writing sparkles with her trademark hilarious wit and genuine warmth, and I know that readers will fall as hard for Poe and Zwe as I did. * Amy Spalding, bestselling author of For Her Consideration and At Her Service * Pyae is now the absolute queen of taking a romantic trope and chucking her protagonists into the plot of Die Hard. You wouldn't think there'd be much romantic, sexual tension in a situation like this, but Pyae had me on the edge of my seat to know how both the romance and the life or death situation turned out. And there's the return of a much loved character from her previous novel too. LOVED it. * Ronali Collings, author of All the Single Ladies * Pyae Moe Thet War's Here For a Good Time is an epic adventure built around my favorite romance trope; friends to lovers. With witty dialogue, surprising twists, and some good old-fashioned romantic pining, readers are bound to fall in love right along with the ain characters.

You'll be screaming surely you can see you're perfect for each other! and oh god, they're right behind you! all in the same breath. This was such a fun, inventive romance that feels like it belongs on the big screen one day. I'll be at the premiere with my popcorn! * Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of The Art of Catching Feelings * A sweet friends to lovers romcom mashed up with a thriller! Pyae blends genres with total confidence to create an entertaining swoony read for fans looking for a White Lotus style entertainment * Elizabeth Drummond, author of The House Sitter and The Reunion * With an action packed plot and a delicious slow burn romance, Here For A Good Time is a love story that leaps off the page. Poe and Zwe's dream holiday turned tropical nightmare is a fun escapist beach read...until it's not, making it the perfect novel to pop in your bag and speed through this summer * Rufaro Faith Mazarura, author of Let the Games Begin * A brilliant, humorous fusion, combining romance and light terror, with elements of The White Lotus and The Perfect Couple.
