Is it better to be loved or respected?

That’s the message that Hayes Bancroft gets one night. As a movie star, he’s used to getting texts from random numbers that he doesn’t recognize, but most are from other celebrities or from fans who somehow got ahold of his number. He can tell right away that this one is different, though.

Maeve Verbeck is an artist. A glassblower by trade, she spends most of her time alone with her kiln and glass. More of a homebody than a party animal, she spends her free time sending random texts to strangers. Usually, the conversations only last for a couple of messages, so she’s surprised when she texts someone, and it continues past the night.

When these two finally meet, will they be able to survive the heat or will they break like glass?

*Warning: This is a short, quick, instalove read with plenty of heat and just enough sweetness to have you begging for more.

A texted question from an unknown number. A reply that led to deeper conversation. An exchange of names. A chance meeting birthed from a rude confrontation. Refusal to give up or walk away, desperation to keep what began with a text. Is what they have really meant to be?

Hayes might be used to random texts and calls as a celebrity, but he wasn't used to someone like Maeve. Even before they exchanged names, she was real. Her texts weren't pleadings to be his wife, to have his baby, or offerings of sex. They were deep, thought provoking. So what if she did it out of boredom? No harm, no foul, so long as the person on the other end didn't get bent out of shape, right?

Their relationship grew and progressed through their cell phones. They didn't have a face for their names, and it made their slow free fall into love something to see, enjoy, and savor. Which was an odd experience since this is an instalove story.

But Ms. Hart is one of few insta authors who knows how to make a relationship happen fast without giving the reader whiplash.

This is my favorite so far in this series. I like everything about it, but that faceless falling in love was beautiful to watch and heartwarming to experience.
