REVIEW: The Book Tour by Emily Ohanjanians

The Book Tour by Emily Ohanjanians: Ana Movilian has worked hard to build a career on her own terms. Between her popular podcast, sold-out speaking events, and her buzzy new self-help book, she’s finally getting the chance to prove—to critics and her skeptical family—that leaving med school to become an influencer and author was the right choice.

Her big moment arrives in the form of a national book tour… right up until her trusted publicist quits the night before takeoff. His replacement? Ryan Grant—the serious, broody publicist known for promoting literary heavyweights and “important” books.

From their first meeting, it’s obvious Ryan doesn’t understand Ana’s work—or her brand. But two weeks traveling from city to city together leaves plenty of time for tension, sharp banter, and a growing attraction neither of them expected. The problem? Crossing that line could jeopardize both of their careers just as everything they’ve worked for is finally within reach.

THE BOOK TOUR by Emily Ohanjanians is a fun, tension-filled rom-com that drops two very different personalities into the whirlwind of a book tour and watches the sparks fly. What begins as a tense professional partnership slowly shifts as the tour rolls from city to city. Long travel days, packed events, and quiet late-night conversations start to reveal different sides of both of them. Watching Ana and Ryan challenge each other’s assumptions while trying to keep their growing attraction under control added just the right amount of tension to every stop on the tour.

Sparks fly between a lively debut author and her grumpy publicist on book tour in this sizzling rom-com from a fresh new voice in contemporary romance.

Despite her popular podcast and sold-out speaking events, Ana Movilian still feels like she has to prove herself. To her family, who can’t believe she quit med school to build an influencer career, and to literary snobs, who decry her buzzy self-help book. Happily, her upcoming book tour is the perfect chance to show the world just how bright her star can shine.

That is, until her beloved publicist resigns the night before their plane is set to take off, announcing that her replacement is none other than Ryan bleeping Grant.

Ryan specializes in highbrow, “important” books, and his perma-scowl in every interaction with Ana makes one thing clear: he does not get her book. Or her. He’s the last person who should be promoting her work, the last person she should be stuck with for two weeks . . . and the last person who should look that damn good in business casual.

As they travel from city to city, however, Ana’s assumptions about Ryan take new shape. A decidedly more appealing shape. Soon, their growing attraction starts to feel like a ticking time bomb. But crossing that line could derail each of their careers faster than you can say “conflict of interest,” and they both have bigger dreams at stake than the bestseller list.
