My good friend, Alissa Baxter had an excellent book released back in October. I recommend to check this book out. I guarantee you'll get caught up with the creatively way it's written and the story will take you away.
BLURB:
Twenty-something, white,
South African Emma Bradshaw has a pattern of falling for unsuitable men and
starts a blog about these so-called “serial datists”. Her search for new
beginnings takes her to Cape Town, where she gets a job working for sexy
author, Nick Reynolds. Romance with her boss is a no-no, but slowly, Nick works
his way around her defenses. Trust him, or not, especially with her awful track
record with men?
When an anonymous male reader of the blog challenges her on her ideas about the male species, Emma realises she must confront her past and find her true self before she can move forward...and love can blossom again in her future.

EXCERPT FROM THE BLOG AFFAIR
Damn him. Damn him. Damn him. Like a bad apple, he just had to pop up in her new home.
She’d left Durban to escape him, and here he was, back again, tormenting her as
ever. Awful enough that memories of him were with her all the time, without him
turning up in the flesh. And what flesh it was….
“You had a good time in Italy?” she inquired.
Phil nodded.
“Great. Well, I have things to do. Bye.”
“Running away, Em?”
Emma, who had starting walking toward the door, stopped in
her tracks and turned around. “I’ve moved on, Phil.”
“You mean you’ve moved away. You haven’t moved on.”
“What makes you so sure?”
Phil gazed into her eyes before looking down at her mouth,
and Emma swallowed hard. He always made her insides twist into knots, and the
fact she couldn’t bear to be in the same room with him for even five minutes
clearly showed she hadn’t moved on. She had to put him behind her, though, and
stop allowing him to upset her equilibrium to the degree he did.
But as she studied his once-loved face, she let out a tiny
sigh. How did you just move on and forget someone? Especially when you’d once
believed that someone was the love of your life?
She stood immobile for a long moment. Then, without a
word, she turned around again and walked out of the room.
