Outdrawn: A Sapphic Rivals to Lovers Romance Kindle Edition

It isn’t always lonely at the top.

Noah Blue’s finally got her foot in the door. After clawing her way to the top of the charts with her webcomic, she’s garnered enough attention to earn a full-time position at a comic company re-launching their cult classic comic: Queen Leisah.

Queen Leisah is predicted to be an instant bestseller with movie deals already in the making. Things are falling into place. There’s nowhere to go but up…as soon as she gets one person out of her way.

Sage Montgomery has always been the best artist in every building she’s stepped foot in. Raw talent’s gotten her webcomic to the top of the charts every month for the past eight years. She’s been the best for as long as she can remember. Sure, her career has plateaued but that can be fixed with a big, mainstream comic.

She was promised full creative control over Leisah. Instead, she got a shared credit with the one artist who’s been breathing down her neck since college. The one artist who has a fighting chance of being better than her. Sage and Noah have to work as a team — or, at least appear to work as a team. They thought the hardest part of the relaunch would be drawing together. But that’s easy in comparison to resisting their feelings for each other.

__

Outdrawn is a slow-burn, rivals-to-lovers sapphic romance. This book is a standalone.

  1. Lots of things made me happy: art, perfectly seasoned rice, bike rides downtown, and now, apparently, making Sage smile because of something silly.

  2. I'd always had a good relationship with loneliness. Lonely had been my safe place. In silence, no one expected anything from me. That lack of expectation meant I could be myself. Of course, it got hard, but that was a trade-off I'd been willing to make. Or, at least, I thought it was.

Totally recommend this for a sweet sapphic read with some spice and lovely characters, each with depth and their own growth. I especially enjoyed the setting in the webcomics industry and the contrast between the characters' personalities.

✨Summary:

Noah Blue, having earned a coveted full-time position at a company re-launching the cult classic Queen Leisah, anticipates reaching new heights in her career. However, there's one obstacle in her way: Sage Montgomery, a talented artist promised creative control over Leisah. Forced to collaborate, Noah and Sage must navigate their shared credit and competitive history. As they grapple with drawing together, a more complex challenge emerges — the unexpected journey of falling in love.

✨Review:

The highlight of this book for me is the writing of the characters. They are just written extremely well. They aren’t flat or surface level but dynamic and raw, well-rounded individuals.

I loved how the relationship between the two main characters developed throughout the book. Even though they were polar opposites, they had great chemistry and complemented each other perfectly. The slow burn, rivals-to-lovers storyline was amazing and not only developed their relationship but also their characters individually. Their relationship felt so realistic and organic, with both Sage and Noah growing and evolving as the story progressed.

The author did a fantastic job with characterization, making Noah and Sage feel like real people with relatable issues. Sage, in particular, was a complex and misunderstood character due to her unique way of handling her emotions. As an older sister myself, I could relate to her struggles with responsibility heavy.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best romance books I've had the pleasure of reading
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024

This is one of the best romance books I've had the pleasure of reading. Every character, no matter how much page time they received, was fleshed out with flaws and backgrounds and personalities all their own. Sage and Noah, our FMC's, were relatable and lovable. The rivalry didn’t feel contrived, and the progression towards love felt natural. By the time Noah and Sage were falling for each other, the writing had completely dragged me, as the reader, along with them! During Noah’s POV, I was absolutely as smitten with Sage as she was, and the reverse rang true during Sage’s POV.

And the bickering! The way these women teased and taunted each other had me kicking my feet and giggling.

What really touched my heart though, and what will stay with me for a long time, was the exploration of asking for “help” vs looking for “rescue.” How asking for or accepting help, or putting up personal boundaries, doesn’t reduce your personal strength or worth. How it’s necessary and often a way of letting your friends/loved ones show their own caring.

Noah and Sage were both strong women. Neither needed to save or be saved by anyone. They met on equal footing and formed a deep understanding of each other because of it, which only enhanced their ability to lean on each other and support each other once they learned to allow themselves. In turn, that actually deepened their bond and brought both further happiness.

So well done!! Well paced rivals to lovers! Nothing felt rushed. Ebbed and flowed perfectly and realistically. Character growth, better together, but authentically themselves. Found family of side characters while also finding strength in how each wants to be in their own families, whether through boundaries or making yourself a priority. Just the way the two MCs uplifted each other was glorious. Highly recommend!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing romance read after a recent stent of mediocre reads
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023

Well to be quite frank, over the last month or two, I've downloaded a ton of free romance books, got to love Kindle Day, with that being said I kinda can hit a snag as far as reading a ton of books that are meh as in the author delivering something short and sweet and free. And this book, I felt like the author took time to invest us in the back story to make an enemies to friends Trope really, really work and feel flushed out and .... Hmm not as dimensionaless as I've been enduring.

Of course this book isn't free unless you have Kindle unlimited, which I do so maybe that's why I'm kind of lumping it into some of my Kindle day reads because I didn't pay anything for it. Even though of course I did with the subscription. It just felt refreshing. Now does it mean that the story didn't have flaws... it did.

That comes in the form of the sex. If we were to give like a chili peppers rating on how steamy it was. I will give this about a notch over Pg13 as far as how substantial and how much the author was able to kind of, I don't know, give us the eemf. I love the consensual stuff. It was great but it... I don't know, something just felt like it was missing. like how in the photo booth scene in this story describes a kiss. It could have been better.

But overall, I enjoyed the story

I loveeeeeed it. The charters were so engaging and I could feel their energies. I also felt like it spoke a lot to my personal life as an artist and as a lesbian. Noah’s feminine energy and her being so caring and also feisty reminds me of my self and Sage’s wittiness and dominance reminds me a lot of my wife. I love that they both gave up control and let others be there for them. This was a great read and I want more.

In the right corner we have Noah, the youngest daughter, artist in an academic family, sufferer of imposter syndrome and lesbian, in fact.

In the left corner we have Sage, the oldest daughter, parentified, overachiever, and a bisexual.

I loved this sapphic rivals to lovers dual POV story. The setup of two comic book artists, who kinda knew each other in art school, but one was a bit more accomplished than the other, worked really well as a backdrop.

I wouldn't say there was miscommunication in this story, but rather that Noah and Sage clearly had differing perspectives and understanding of the same situations, which Deanna navigated masterfully. I've definitely been in those situations where I was convinced of someone's motives, only to later discover I got it all wrong.

It was very heartfelt, and the spicy scenes were hot!!

Deanna has just joined my "comfy romance reads club" along with Ali Hazlewood. It's just a very nicely written romance, that's easy to consume and enjoy. It touches on certain trauma and personality traits which I found very interesting.

I know I keep saying this, but I'm determined to read Deanna's other works next time I feel for a contemporary romance story!

Sinceramente este libro me enganchó bastante rápido, es simple y no requiere estar pensando demasiado, el a nivel de inglés es fácil de leer sin palabras demasiado complicadas.
La historia es buena aunque en ocasiones se apresuran demasiado en ciertas tramas, me gustó la representación en cuanto a la puesta de límites y los dramas familiares, los personajes también tienden a hablar de sus problemas en vez de exagerar en un drama innecesario lo cual lo hace bastante maduro. Dentro de todo una lectura recomendada para destapar un bloqueo lector.
