A delightfully romantic, heartwarming read for everyone who’s ever looked for The One and found someone better.


You: kind, piano-playing sex god
Me: hopelessly romantic charity shop manager


Honeysuckle Jones has a problem, and her best friends Nell and Tash are on a mission to help her solve it. She needs a man – a caring, intelligent, funny man. But most importantly, a man who’s good with his hands…


Luckily Honey’s new neighbour – moody, antisocial ex-chef Hal – fails on almost every count. Even though the chemistry between them is electric, he’s obviously wrong for her in every way.


But when Honey discovers the devastating reason for his moods she decides to give him another chance. And discovers that the best songs aren’t always in tune…


A hilarious, feel-good, sexy romantic comedy for fans of Lucy Diamond, Paige Toon and Giovanna Fletcher.

I got this book awhile back on Netgalley to review. I will admit I got it based on it's cover. Yes, I know, I know. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Well, I must say I'm happy I picked it up it was such a sweet, witty and hilarious contemporary read. The book for me went by so fast because I was totally engrossed in the story.

Honeysuckle's friends keep trying to set her up to find her a man. Well, what they don't know is the perfect man for her is living right next door. I was very intrigued with the character that is, Hal. He is so rude, anti-social, mean, moody and he is a recluse also, he's a genius chef. Honeysuckle ends up trying to help him after finding out his secret and story behind why he is the way he is now. And in the end she basically teaches him to regain his empathy and learn to appreciate another human being. She teaches him to be not be so pitying and self centered towards himself. It's an awesome read and so funny. The writing was so good. Anyway, if you want a book that will leave your heart a thump thump thump-ing and your belly jiggling from all the laughs you'll get from this story go pick it up! highly recommend it.

 

Review: Maybe Matt's Miracle (Reed Brothers # 4) by Tammy Falkner

Title: Maybe Matt's Miracle
Series: Reed Brothers 
Author: Tammy Falkner

What he needed was a miracle…

Matthew Reed has seen his share of problems. But he’s a Reed and Reeds can overcome anything. Matt is content working in his family’s tattoo parlor with his brothers surrounding him. The only thing he’s lacking is the ability to have a family of his own. Then his battle with cancer leads him to meet a woman who just might need him as much as he needs her.

She didn’t need anything...

Skylar Morgan is happy. She has a boyfriend. Sure, he doesn’t make her heart pound faster and he really doesn’t support her when she needs it. But she doesn’t need much. Does she? She’s happy to be self-sufficient and she’s happy that she doesn’t have a tremendous amount of responsibility. She’s educated, has a great job, and she has enough money for a lifetime. But what she lacks, she doesn’t even realize until she meets him. And them. The ones who change her life forever.


Rating:

Okay, let me start out this review saying I am a HUGE, and I mean HUGE fan of Tammy Falkner's Reed Brother's series. So when I found out that Matt's story was coming next I was so giddy! Let's just say a little dance is called for...

Maybe, Matt's Miracle made me wanna cry, get up grab the heroine and just give her a hug and LOL (especially in the revealing of "the letter"). This book was just full of so many good moments... I loved it! Skylar is a strong, selfless loving woman, the way she took hold of those three kids from her deceased step sister who she never really truly got to know. Her parents were basically a mess, I did not like her Father, the way he dealt with his family and marriage. And her  mother was no cupcake either, she was cruel even though there were some good traits about her towards the end of the book.

 But let's talk about Matt, the hero of the story. Matt has gone through a storm throughout the series. He was diagnosed with cancer, he almost died if it would not have been for Emily, Logan's girl, who helped get Matt into the clinical trial that saved him. He has now concurred his cancer, in this story he concurs his heartbreak from a love he lost from his previous cheating girlfriend April and finds love in Skylar, the woman who was entrusted with the three kids of his cancer patient friend Kendra, who recently did not make it through the trial. Matt is just a knight in shining armor personified, he's so good, it's kinda to good to be true *but we all that ain't true* ;) 

His relationship with Seth is absolutely funny and loving! :) Seth calls him dude yet sees him like a father figure. I found that so cute!Especially in the start of the story where Sky doesn't have a clue on how to deal with the kids. Those naked bath runs were hilarious, the two little girls were just too adorable!

Overall, I would have to say if you are a fan of gentle ALPHAS, and are a fan of the Reed Brothers Series you most definitely wanna add this book to your TBR list!

Just in case you aren't familiar with this series head here is the series order! I highly recommend it!
