The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez (Paperback)

Life has stood still for Sloan Monroe since losing the person she thought she would spend forever with. Grief has shaped every part of her world, making it difficult to imagine a future that feels anything like the one she planned. Then an unexpected encounter with a runaway dog begins to change everything. Caring for her new four-legged companion gives Sloan a sense of purpose she hasn’t felt in years and reminds her that happiness can sometimes appear in the most unexpected ways.

When the dog’s owner finally gets in touch, Sloan expects a difficult goodbye. Instead, she finds herself exchanging messages with Jason, a charismatic musician whose demanding career keeps him travelling the world. What begins as a practical conversation soon grows into hours of texting, phone calls, and shared moments that bridge the distance between them. Despite never meeting face to face, their connection feels genuine, offering Sloan hope that she might be ready to open her heart again.

As Jason’s career continues to gather momentum, the realities of life in the spotlight begin to test their growing relationship. Balancing fame, distance, personal responsibilities, and emotional vulnerability proves far more challenging than either of them expected. Both must decide whether taking another chance on love is worth the risk of heartbreak.

Filled with humour, warmth, memorable characters, and an irresistible canine companion, this heartfelt romance explores healing after loss, finding joy in unexpected places, and discovering that sometimes the best chapters begin when life takes an unplanned turn.

Perfect for readers who enjoy emotional contemporary romance, slow-burn chemistry, lovable animal companions, second-chance happiness, and stories that balance heartfelt emotion with laugh-out-loud moments.
