This is the first in a two part
series of books. It would stand alone,
but I don’t think you’ll want to miss part two.
If you are going to read both, they do need to be read in order.
Aubrey has always wanted to be a
writer. She reads mostly romance novels
and has the heart of a romantic, so of course this is her chosen genre, but she
has no experience of her own. Intent on
gaining experience, she contacts her best friend for advice. After a failed attempt at speed-dating,
Aubrey meets Alex. Alex is gorgeous, but
with a sordid reputation as a player.
The girls decide that he would be perfect to play the role as muse for
Aubrey and she will just have to guard her heart against the plays he will
undoubtedly try on her. Unexpectedly,
they fall for each other. Then, when a
miscommunication leads to tragedy, Aubrey is left with a broken heart. No longer concerned with her book, Aubrey
must decide if she will ever trust another man.
I was contacted by one of my
favorite authors and asked to give this two book series a read and review. Like I said, favorite author, so of course I
said yes and I happened to have the openings in my schedule immediately, so I
started reading last night. The first
couple of pages, I thought to myself, “Oh Lord, she sounds like Sandy at the
end of Grease.” Then I turned the page
and Aubrey thought to herself, “I felt like Sandy in the movie Grease,
calling Frenchy for a makeover. I guess
in a way I was.” That was the beginning
of my love affair with a brand new author.
This is Ms. Schwehm’s debut novel and all I can say is please, please
keep writing! I am, right now, thanking
the good Lord that I already have the second book and will be starting it as
soon as I finish writing up this post.
Some parts were a little
predictable, but it’s a romance novel, I expect that to some extent. What I didn’t expect was how genuine the
characters felt to me. I would love to
be friends with people like Aubrey, Julie, Mark, Alex, and Brett. This book made me laugh. Not just a little giggle, I mean belly laughs
that stopped the reading for a moment. I highlighted the whole scene when Julie
calls Alex, “dude.” It also had me crying. Crying so hard I couldn’t see the page, but I
couldn’t stop reading because I needed to get past the pain to the good that I
hoped would be on the other side. Ms.
Schwehm delivers and delivers in a big way.
I highly recommend this book for
anyone who loves love. This is romance
all of the way through. Now, I need to
go read the second book in this series.
Talk to you again soon!
