Overview
Life is chaotic for Hollywood actor, Jake. With his ex-wife and second husband filming in Poland for three months, he’s left to focus on his most important role yet – being a single dad.
But he’s struggling. His son won’t stop asking questions, his daughter won’t brush her teeth and their nanny has quit.
In a desperate attempt to find a replacement, he hires his best friend’s sister, Willa. She’s fresh out of grad school and unlike anyone he’s ever met before.
She hates his movies, but his kids adore her. And as it turns out, so does he.
Jake can’t sleep without her in his house now. Willa is the missing piece he’s been searching for.
But their chances of success are unlikely, and if his friend ever found out what Jake wanted to do to his sister, he’d be in big trouble. But Jake is willing to take the chance – even if it’s as likely as his little indie movie becoming a huge hit.

Editoral Review
Sleeper, by Kayley Loring, is a contemporary romance novel that was first published on December 12, 2019. Loring is known for her ability to craft deeply intimate stories that explore complex human relationships, and this book is no exception.
The novel tells the story of Will and Devney, two individuals who are seemingly worlds apart, but who are brought together by fate. The story takes place in New York City, where Will is a successful businessman and Devney is a struggling actress.
Despite their different backgrounds, the two become inseparable after a chance meeting in a coffee shop. As they begin to explore their feelings for each other, they encounter a number of obstacles along the way, including betrayal, heartache, and forgiveness.
The strength of this novel lies in Loring’s ability to create characters that are relatable and flawed, yet still sympathetic. Will and Devney are both struggling to find their place in the world, and their love for each other gives them the strength to face their demons head-on.
Loring’s writing style is both poetic and evocative, capturing the beauty and pain of life’s most precious moments. One of the most significant themes in Sleeper is the idea of second chances.
Both Will and Devney are given the opportunity to start over, to make amends for past mistakes, and to build a future together. This message is particularly relevant in our current moment, as many people are grappling with the fallout of the pandemic and rethinking their priorities.
While Sleeper is certainly a captivating read, the novel is not without its flaws. At times, the pacing can be slow, and some of the secondary characters are not as fully developed as they could be.
However, these minor issues do not detract from the overall impact of the book. Ultimately, Sleeper is a must-read for anyone who loves a good romance novel.
Loring has crafted a beautiful, emotional story that will stay with readers long after they have turned the final page. For these reasons, we are proud to give Sleeper our highest recommendation and rating of five stars.
