Pixels and Paint

 

Description

For Emma Trinket, life is a delicate balancing act between loving her family and pursuing interests they don't understand. When the opportunity arises to finally impress them with her job as a computer programmer, she jumps at it even if it means immersing herself in a world she's despised since childhood.

Unfortunately, the one man who could crush her prospects is also the best person to help her navigate the lessons she needs to be a success.

Artistic expression is both Carter Anderson's safe space and his livelihood, but his fading inspiration has him worried about his place in life. His encounters with Emma spark a passion to create that he hasn't felt in years and he isn't ready to let go of his new muse even if she's threatening the sanctity of his art world with her digital technologies.

As each tries to gain an advantage from the other, Emma and Carter discover they actually might be more compatible than they thought. Will that be enough to unify their opposing missions or will the real differences between pixels and paint tear them apart?

Review

I loved this book from the opening pages. The colourful characters, witty dialogue, and the humorous trope of opposites attracting...perfect! 

I've been a huge fan of Kristi Ann Hunter's Regency romance novels, and was so excited to see her next book was a contemporary romance. Pixels and Paint is a delightful rom-com that I devoured in two days. I couldn't stop reading it, staying up long into the night, eagerly wanting to know what happens next, while also dreading finishing the book as it's so fun to read. Kristi Ann Hunter has proven she can write knock-out Regency stories AND rom-coms!  I can't wait to read the next book in this series!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the author for a copy of this book to review! All opinions are my own.
