The Spirit of Love - by Lauren Kate (Paperback)

About the Book

"Fenny, who is a side character in What's In a Kiss, meets Sam and falls in serious like/lust the weekend before her directorial debut on the TV show she's been the lead screenwriter on for years. They meet on Catalina Island where the almost-decade-younger hottie works for Search and Rescue. But on Monday when she shows up to work, she's told her shot at being director is being scuppered so they can bring in hot new director Jude. But when Fenny meets him, she swears it's Sam--ten years older and with a sadness she wants to fix. But they can't be the same man, right?"--

Book Synopsis

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Kate comes a magical time-slip love triangle about a man split into two--one version young and carefree, the other suave but jaded--and one woman's quest to reunite his broken pieces.

Two loves. One soul. One choice.

Fenny's got that boss glow. Not only did she just have the best sex of her life, but she's finally about to direct the TV show she's been a screenwriter on for ten years. Only one thing could floor her--finding out she's been replaced by a hotshot director named Jude. Wait, no. Two things. Jude looks exactly like the guy who just turned her bones to jelly. Same dimples, same eyes, but he looks older and has a sadness Fenny wants to fix.

Last weekend, Fenny met Sam when he movie-style rescued her from a storm on Catalina Island. Here he is again, just ... different. Can Sam and Jude be the same man? And if they are, will Fenny's love be enough to put him back together?

"Lauren Kate's The Spirit of Love utterly charmed me! I was swept away by this magical twist on a love triangle, which kept me laughing and clutching my heart in equal measure.

"Kate (What's in a Kiss?) writes a rom-com with witty dialogue, endearing characters, and the enemies-to-lovers trope, mixed with supernatural elements, and creates a vivid and life-affirming story of love across time and space."
