Sweet Romance

Sweet romance at its finest. The cast of characters is engaging and I can’t wait to learn more about them all.

And something blue

I enjoyed Amelia Adams book and something blue. It carried a cute story line and it had some plot twists and turns. I love Amelia’s writing style whether it’s historical romance or current day romance. Her books always flow well. The narrator was ok. She spoke a little fast but got use to it. Would highly recommend. Keep up the great writing.

Great story!

I was a bit hesitant with the narration at first but as I got further into the book the easier it was to imagine that it was the heroine’s voice. Storyline was great. There were a couple scenes where I had a little difficulty differentiating between the dialogue and setting descriptions but it wasn’t that bad. I have to admit that most of the dialogues scenes were filled with great animation from the narrator and I laughed quite a bit making it a very enjoyable read. Story itself was super sweet and modern and wasn’t hard to imagine myself being a bystander in the story and watching it all unfold. It’s a great feel good romance with just the perfect amount of comedy to keep it from feeling too cheesy. I think author and narrator did an awesome job!

Enjoyable!

[Some minor spoilers ahead]
I read this book years ago & enjoyed it. The story has a bit of a Pride and Prejudice kind of flavor. Admittedly, the beginning of the story had me wondering how Logan could redeem himself, but the author did a fairly decent job of it. I had hoped that Brennan would end up with Logan's sister, but hopefully they'll get their happily-ever-afters in future books in this new series.

Laurie was a very sympathetic heroine and I really liked how she handled herself. I struggled a little with her clumsy moments, as I get sympathetic embarrassment so it's hard not to cringe, but it didn't make me want to quit or anything. The sort of pre-proposal proposal at the end was too soon, but at least they agreed to a longer engagement to spend time getting to know each other more fully.

Overall, I loved the protagonists and watching their relationship develop. I wouldn't mind more audiobooks of her roommates' stories!

*Romance level: sweet kisses, nothing graphic

[Audiobook: I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to listen to it at first. The narrator's voice is kind of higher pitched/younger sounding - chipmunky, for lack of a better description - & not well suited to adult voices or male voices, but I actually got used to it fairly quickly, & she did a decent job distinguishing character voices.]

Small town love

I loved this story. Small towns have such personality. Amelia made me want to visit Aspen Ridge. The main character comes back to Aspen Ridge after college and meets a guy that she initially doesn't like so much. Well.... feelings change.....Go get the book and find out what happens!!!
