Many thanks to @berkleyromance for eARC #BookReview For the Love of the Bard by Jessica Martin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the Love of the Bard is entertaining and nerdy contemporary romance that follows Miranda Barnes who returns to her hometown, Bard’s Rest, for The Centennial, Shakespearean summer festival, and to write her long overdue book in YA fairy series, but on arriving home she found herself tangled in festival committee, responsibility of directing the mainstage, deal with her mom’s recent health issues, and reconnect with teenage crush who crushed her heart. It is about literature, theater, sisterhood, family, friendship, forgiveness, heartbreak, getting over self-doubt, letting people in, taking leap of faith, and giving love a second chance. I loved the way author divided the story in scenes and each chapter titled with the different places of Bard’s Rest mentioned in the chapter where characters’ lives play out. this book packs more than just romance and author has included many light and serious scenes with witty dialogues and so many quirky characters. Miranda and her family are my most favorite characters. The best part is setting of Bard’s Rest. This town is full of geeks and nerds who loved Shakspeare so much that their streets, stores and business are all Shakspeare-themed. Romance is slow and sizzling with second chance arc, hate to love trope, and complex relationship. Chemistry between Miranda and Adam is hot and sexy. It’s most realistic romance I have read so far. Overall, For the Love of the Bard is delightful, entertaining, witty and quirky romance with amazing characters and setting. QOTD - Are you fan of Shakespeare? If not which is your favorite book with many literary references? . . . #FortheLoveoftheBard #JessicaMartin #Romance #Berkleyromance #forfanofShakespeare #nerdyromance #WittyandSassyfiction #Vethero #Smalltownromance #Secondchanceromance #Slowburnromance #forTheaterlovers #romancegenre #getthebook #contemporaryRomance  #romancereader #lovebooks #bookobsessed #bookishflatlay #bookflatlay #bookstagrammer #BooksTeacupandReviews #Indianbookstagram #bookgram #bookishlovegroups #bookphotography #readersofinstagram #romancestagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZS2lJoUgM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
