Synopsis
DEFINITELY, MAYBE…OR LOVE, ACTUALLY?
English professor Bonnie Blythe expects her life to play out like her favorite novels, especially now that her long-term boyfriend has finally proposed. So when a shocking discovery leads Bonnie to end her engagement, she decides to close the book on love. But the plot thickens when a brand-new character enters the scene—and quickens Bonnie’s heart.
With his brilliant blue eyes, sexy accent, and irresistible charm, Theo Wharton is like a romantic hero straight out of a Jane Austen novel. When fate places Bonnie in England for a summer—conveniently close to Theo—she realizes a hot friends-with-benefits fling is exactly what she needs to start a fresh chapter. Just as Bonnie begins to believe she’s falling in love, an eye-opening revelation into Theo’s life makes Bonnie feel like she’s wandered into one of her favorite books. Will Bonnie have the courage to risk her heart and turn the page with the dashing Brit to find her true happy ending after all?
Review
This is the 2nd book in this series and I enjoyed all of the characters and their many quirks.
We were introduced to Bonnie and Theo in the first book as best friends to the main characters. I could feel the interest between these two but knew at the time it wasn’t going to go anywhere because Bonnie was engaged and she isn’t the type to cheat on her man.
Fast forward to an event in Chicago that brings Theo and Bonnie together again and the chemistry is still there. Thankfully Bonnie finds her fiance cheating on her which opens the door for Theo. But what does Bonnie want from him? A fling? More? She really isn’t sure but is lucky enough to have the summer to figure it out.
This book has a lot of laugh out loud moments for me and I read the book very quickly since I didn’t want to put it down. I enjoyed the conversations between Theo and Bonnie, the various activities they did while she was in England, and just how they just seemed to click.
I’m hoping that there will be a couple more books featuring the other two girlfriends that make up the rest of Bonnie’s group of friends.
We give this 5 paws up and suggest starting with Getting Hot With the Scot since it will set you up for this book.
