MY REVIEW
Sunset in Central Park ( From Manhattan with Love Book 2) 

If you have read the first book in this series then you have already been introduced to Frankie and Matt. These two characters have chemistry that both of them try to ignore because they have been friends for years and neither want to risk losing this until the chemistry combusts and Matt has to try and convince Frankie that they have a chance.

 Frankie does not think she is relationship material has she as not had a good role models while growing up because her mother has had a string of failed relationships after her dad left them after having affairs, so Frankie is disheartened to love and feels it never works. Frankie is the garden and flower expert in Urban Genie

Matt is Paige's brother and has his own business - design and landscaping and has had feelings for Frankie for years but knows that he would have to wait for the right timing to bring up how he feels because of Frankie's past.  The timing arrives when Matt needs Frankie's help with a project he is doing and along with his sisters help, persuades Frankie to help him as she loves to work on roof gardens and she feels comfortable being with Matt while working. However she does not know how to react when he starts to flirt with her and she realises that Matt may have feelings for her too.

I loved this story of how Matt works his way around all Frankie's issues. We even get back to Puffin Island, I don't want to add spoilers so I am not going to say anymore but Sarah Morgan - you know how to write a page turner, I can not wait for Eva's book and I hope some of the other new characters we are learning to love in this series get their happy ending too.

This is what I call a MUST READ if you are a romantic and I give it a well earned 5 stars.

Review: Willing to Learn

Willing to Learn by EmKay Connor

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved it, great characters and story line and EmKay Connor has a flair for drawing you in to her book and keeping you there.

This story is about Meredith who is betrothed to a Prince - where her Prince is from they have a tradition that the fiancee has to go and be instructed on how to make love in order to keep him satisfied so Meredith finds herself on Tresorier Du Coeur - an island paradise.

Anders Collier is there undercover and hates impersonating a gigolo so he is insubordinate and infuriating and tries not to get picked, however Meredith has plans of her own and chooses him.

Madame Duval is the owner of the seduction retreat and knows when people are meant to be together as she has visions but things are happening that she can not figure out and keeps disappearing so this leads her to be is under suspicion by Anders.

The story progresses with the lead characters getting to know each other and both of them fighting their feelings for one another. This story is full of intrigue, kidnappings, friendship, and of course love. I really enjoyed this book and can not wait for the next installment in the Tresorier du Coeur books as I want to learn more about Madame Duval too. Congrats Ms Connor for keeping me entertained and I look forward to reading more from you.

Review: A White Wedding Christmas

A White Wedding Christmas by Andrea Laurence

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received and ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved all the Brides and Belles books so far and was looking forward to Natalie's story and it did not disappoint.

Natalie Sharpe loves to help arrange weddings, as she is a co owner of From This Moment wedding facility but she does not believe in love. All her friends have recently found their H.E.A.'s and she is surrounded by friends in love. Natalie also Hates Christmas and tries to go away at this time of year to escape it all- except this year her childhood friend Lily is getting married and wants it at her facility so Natalie asks her partners do they mind doing this wedding as a favour to her and they say yes. This is where the fun begins.

Natalie always had a crush on Lily's brother Colin when they were younger so she is dreading seeing him again at the wedding but on the day of the meeting with Lily to arrange some of the details about her wedding she is anxiously waiting to see her friend when in walks Colin and no Lily and she is instantly blown away by the attraction she still feels towards him. He then explains that he is the one arranging Lily's wedding and Natalie realizes that she will have to deal with him a lot over the following weeks.

Colin is out of his depth trying to arrange his sisters wedding, she would just like to go off and do it quietly but he wants her to have a special wedding day- so Lily tells him - YOU HAVE TO ARRANGE IT. This throws him and the lovely Natalie together. Colin is attracted to Natalie but he is not sure how she will react to him after an incident that happened in the past, he just hopes she will forgive him.

Natalie and Colin fight their attraction and decide that they will be friends only, Colin does not understand why Natalie does not like Christmas and makes a bet with her that he can get her Christmas spirit back. This is when their friendship develops into more as Colin gives it is all to win the bet.

This is a beautiful and heart wrenching story about family, divorce, friendships, trust, and of course love. The whole story flows from one part to the next and the ending is absolutely perfect. I give it a definite 5 stars and just wish there was more in this series but even though there is not I know that Andrea will have another great series coming for us soon and I can not wait. Congrats.
