About the Book
Title: The Heartfelt Formula
Author: Leslie Kirby DeVooght
Publisher: Lanier Price Publishing
Release Date: October 22, 2026
Genre: Contemporary Romance/Women's Fiction/Romantic Comedy
After another breakup, Atlanta attorney Hope Elliot decides to stop waiting for her happily-ever-after and write it herself. Inspired by her beloved Christmas romance movies, Hope crafts The Heartfelt Formula: a foolproof plan including snowball fights, cookie baking, and a perfectly timed first kiss.
Trading the big city for coastal Georgia, Hope sets out to find her small-town soulmate. But the actors in her carefully plotted scenes keep shuffling—especially when Brennan Taylor, her ambitious co-counsel continues to fill in for Cole Walker, the carefree furniture maker, who Hope cast as her hero.
Between courtroom drama, a mismatched leading man, and a mistletoe mishap, Hope must decide if she’ll trust her formula or accept a plot twist that might leave her all alone, or perhaps, with the happiest ending of all.
A faith-filled romantic comedy for anyone who believes love, like Christmas, can still surprise you.

My Thoughts:
For those of you who love your happily ever after Christmas holiday movies in both July and Christmas time, this is a story for you. What happens when the person you thought you would spend the rest of your life with breaks up with you instead? Well, you watch your movies. And what if you come up with an idea to script your own life like a movie, and make the magic yours? Well, that is exactly what happens to Hope Elliot after a painful breakup. She will make her life a movie, one that ends happily ever after.
Hope is a lawyer who has concocted a plan to work for a big law firm, quit, and move to a small town and find her handsome man. She already has a leg up when her mom sets her up with one of her future coworkers. Brennan Taylor and Hope knew each other a bit in college. Now they will be working together. They also decided to get their moms off their back by pretending to be dating. Oh boy.
They both end up in a small town for work. Yep, that is when Cole steps in. The perfect man that Hope has been dreaming up. Oh boy.
This was a fun story of one woman's journey to true love. It was very cute and funny at times. And at other times I really felt for Hope. Who of us hasn't wanted to try to steer our lives in a much happier direction when life doesn't cooperate? A heartwarming and fun read that I highly recommend.
