Description
Samantha has built a life she’s fiercely proud of—one that runs on her own terms, with romance nowhere in sight—but everything changes when she’s unexpectedly paired with Andrew, a charming DJ whose irresistible smile and infectious energy turn her carefully structured world upside down.
Determined to keep him at arm’s length, Samantha tries to resist the magnetic connection forming between them, yet Andrew’s playful humor and surprising vulnerability slowly chip away at her defenses, making her question the walls she’s built around her heart. Just as she dares to let her guard down, betrayal strikes, leaving her reeling and questioning everything she believed about love and trust.
This relatable, heartfelt story explores the magic of unexpected connections and the messy journey of letting someone in. Can Samantha embrace the chaos and take a chance on love, or will her fears keep her from discovering something truly lovely?
A Note From the Publisher
A loving wife and mother of two, her journey led her to Rutgers University and then to a career in education. When she’s not busy inspiring her students, savoring family time, or enjoying the beautiful chaos of life, Toni loves escaping into the world of her characters. Toni’s stories are a heartfelt blend of humor, romance, and the occasional twist. She draws from her diverse background and observations of daily life to weave stories that reflect her own belief in the power of true love and how both magical and wonderfully unpredictable it can be.
Advance Praise
"That’s Lovely by Toni McBride explores ambition, family, and unexpected romance set against the backdrop of a successful nightclub. The story centers around Samantha, a fiercely independent woman who runs a business with her brother, Jonathan, and his best friend, Gabe. The narrative balances humor, tension, and emotional depth, creating an engaging story. The romantic subplot begins with the arrival of Andrew, a charismatic DJ whose hiring by Jonathan and Gabe generates immediate tension with Samantha. Their interactions are filled with chemistry as Samantha’s initial skepticism and resistance slowly transform into curiosity and deeper feelings. McBride captures this progression with a subtle touch, allowing the romance to unfold naturally alongside the rest of the story elements."

"I really enjoyed this story of a strong, independent female heroine who is not only resilient but fiercely protective of her friends. Finding love seemed like such a surprise to Samantha and the story is truly “Lovely.” Can’t wait for the sequel!"
