Female Fantasy by Iman Hariri-Kia SECOND CHANCE

Our Second Chance Romance section is dedicated to books that have arrived with a few imperfections—bent corners, dented covers, or other minor flaws that make them unsellable at full price. While we won’t be photographing each imperfection, please know these books are perfectly readable and just need a little extra love! This is a wonderful opportunity to discover a new favourite story at a discounted price while giving these "second chance" books a new home.

All's fair in love and lore.

Joonie is living in a fantasy—at least that’s what people tell her. Men in the real world have done nothing but disappoint her time and time again, so she keeps her heart reserved for Ryke, the fictional male lead of her favorite romance series, who just happens to be a merman. And so far, her book boyfriend is meeting her needs more than any other “real” man ever has.

But when she learns that Ryke's character is based on a friend of the author, Joonie is determined to track him down and take her shot at a happily ever after.

She’ll need to borrow her brother’s car for the road trip, with the one condition that his annoying (but also hot) best friend can catch a ride to New York with her. But as she makes her way to her male lead, she’ll learn that once you wish fantasy into reality, you have to take all the tropes that come with it—not just the fun ones.

As unhinged as it is brilliant, Female Fantasy is both a self-aware dive into the concept of genre and a wild, steamy romp. Most of all, though, it’s a heartfelt love letter to romance readers everywhere.
