Review of Story of Us (Love Unexpected Book 3) by Jody Holford


STORY OF US

Sophia's life has taken a downward spiral, so she's ended up back in her hometown, looking for a job before she has to tell her controlling, over-expectant family that she's back with her tail between her legs. She knows her brother's best friend, Declan, is looking for a manager for his pub, On Dec, so she figures he's the perfect person to help her out with the employment issue. She never expects she'll end up with far more than just a job with Declan.


Declan knows his best friend's little sister is off-limits. And as his newest employee, she's beyond off-limits. So why is he finding himself unable to keep his eyes (and hands) off her? He's tired of ons's and hookups, he wants to settle down. And Sophie's looking more and more like the woman he wants to have that with. But Declan still hasn't figured out how to care for and protect Sophie without taking away her choices, without taking away her right to live her life as the adult she is. If he can figure out the distinction between the two, they just might stand a chance.


Story of Us is truly a complete story. It's got it all - falling in love, family drama, and the character development is absolutely ON POINT! That is actually my favorite part of this heartwarming, wonderful story - how Declan and Sophie mature and grow throughout the relatively short timeline. If this is the quality of Jody Holford's writing, I might just have to do some more downloading onto my Kindle tonight!

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
