Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.

I was super excited to get this book because in Book 1, Blythe was such a mega snot I wanted to know more about her bitch ass.  LOL

But I gotta admit, as I read this book, I really didn’t like, nor did I connect with her. She is a bitch. Period.  I mean I didn’t find anything about her that I was like “Ok I get it now”.  She was very into her own wants and wishes everyone else be damned.

The guys in the book I loved.  They all were great and cared so much for her and put up with a lot with her.  They never ever stopped caring or pushing for more.  They even wanted to protect her from someone who they knew wasn’t a good person.

I guess I wish there was a bit more into the relationships between Blythe and the guys because most of the story was about her and not the guys.  The sexy times with the guys were good but I just felt it was flat as far as their love story goes.  I LOVE Brandy’s books so this one kinda took me by surprise that I didn’t love it like I have all the others.

It did a good job showing the ladies in the bookclub bonding and moved the arc along for their future books but yeah…..

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

I absolutely loved the first book in this series. Really a group of women who don’t know each other come together in a book club.  These women strike up a friendship where even with their flaws they still band together and support one another. I was curious about Blythe in the first book and was so excited to learn more about her. She seemed to be blunt and opinionated at times. I was ready to find out what made her tick and wanted to know what made her Blythe. I was a bit disappointed when I didn’t connect with her like I wanted. However, oh boy did I connect with her guys and I loved getting to see a little more of her book club friends (yes I say friends even if Blythe may not see it that way).

I loved how everyone rallied around her the guys and her book club girls. Never giving up on her and always there no matter what her mood was or how snooty she got. Only true fiends and loves can look past your flaws and love you unconditionally no matter what.  I enjoyed seeing the ladies bond get stronger as the book went on. No matter how much distance she put between the guys and her they were always there for her and always had her back even if she didn’t know it or see it.

I do enjoy this series and love the concept of it. I am excited to see who the next book will be about and see these ladies bond grow even more.

Brandy Slaven lives in Tennessee with her husband and two wild children. If you can’t find her typing away at her laptop, you will find her with her nose in a book at the beach or hiking at a state park.
