marycatelliJust Stab Me Now by Jill Bearup
A comic tale of a writer taking off into fantasy romance for a break. And to escape her frustrating job.
Her notion of a heroine hits the actual heroine, who is middle-aged, a widow, and the mother of two children trying desperately to protect them.
Not to mention a Hot Enemy who does not conform to the trope.
It involves a problem CFO, the heroine's status as a foreign citizen (yes, it's a Fantasyland, I wondered a bit that she was not a subject), a masquerade ball, getting a management presentation working, a war, and more.
Though aspiring writers should note that YMMV as to the problems writing can give you.
