Description
Our contractor declared bankruptcy and we now have to leave our bookstore opening into the hands of a professional hockey team.
Thankfully, the guys are also skilled off the ice and dedicated to help us make our dream come true.
Particularly, Maxime, my friend’s brother who’s a relentless flirt with a goofy personality.
And as hot as he might be, I don’t do boyfriends. Unless they’re made of ink and paper and have shifting abilities, I’m out.
Plus, I don’t get why Maxime Beaumont, a rising star in the NHL, would take an interest in me. I’m far from the gorgeous specimen asking for his autographs or throwing their bras on the ice.
But when I make the mistake of recommending books to him, he gets pointers from the best book boyfriends out there, and starts texting me about books, throwing words like HEA and tropes like it’s always been part of his vocabulary.
It was hard enough to resist him before but now I don’t think I stand a chance.
Houston: we might have a best friend’s brother situation on our hands.
The Tenacious Act is the first book of the One More Chapter series.
From bookstagram besties to bookstore owners, follow three bookish girls as they navigate their own real life romance drama in the hope of finding their HEA.
All books are standalones but are best enjoyed in order.

Okay, this is my first book by Marion De Re but definitely will not be my last. This is by far my best read in June, maybe even so far this year!
I absolutely loved every single character in this story. All of the characters are super close and hold each other together. Having strong side characters is hard to do but Marion did it, and she did it well. Emma and Alice are awesome and I can not wait to read their stories!
Hayley is living every bookstagrammer's dream. Finding her HEA and opening a book store. The banter and love between her and Maxime was adorable. The fact that she actually got him to read some of her favorite reads had me shocked. I need some tips Hayley!! lol. He made her feel seen and heard and I can not express how happy that makes me for someone like her. I can relate to Hayley and the way she feels about her body. I felt like some parts were coming directly from my insecurities. It made me extremely happy to see how much she grew in that aspect.
I'll stop rambling now. (: Everyone go and read this MEOW!!!!
Thank you so much NetGalley and Marion De Re for a copy!

The Tenacious Act was such a cute romance. I thought Maxime was a great character and definitely a good book boyfriend. Hayley’s character wasn’t always my favourite, but I did really love how passionate she was about books.
I thought it was fun how bookstagram was mentioned in the story. As someone who was reading an ARC, I also liked the mentions of the characters readings ARCs and doing reviews.
