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!!!

Sweet Romance

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