A strong first  rom com novel, I did feel the male perspective of Dave wasn't as strong but Ashleigh was engaging enough to keep me reading. Liked the London setting, quick pace and hopeful tone.

I was pretty pumped when I got approved for this book! 
This one was amazing! It hooked me from the beginning!.
This was such a fun quick read! And the writing was done wonderfully well!
Thanks NetGalley publishers and author for this advance readers copy!
Well worth the read

I recieved a copy of this from net gallery and was interested to see how this would go. Been reading many murder mysteries and wanted a change of pace and this was it. I like the characters though didn't feel connected to any of them. It was an easy quick read that was nice and light and made me smile for the most part. I think many of us can relate to doubting ourselves, feeling insecure, and experiencing those human emotions. Wish they would have dealt with the assault but otherwise it was decent.

Overall, I give this book a solid 3 stars.  This was an easy read for me, although, I can’t say that I loved it.  I feel the main characters were underdeveloped through out the majority of the book.  I didn’t really know much about the characters except for the fact that they live in England, one works for a dentist and the other a contractor; also that Ashleigh, the main character, has a soft spot for letting men cheat on her, dictate her life, and she lives off her parents.  I thought the book started out slow, and then waxed and waned until the final few chapters; that was when the book got interesting, there is much more background information about the supporting characters and their lives too.  [ **SPOILER: There is one situation where her boyfriend is sexually assaulted - I could not stand how “blown” out of proportion it got with the main character.** ]  I understand what the writer was trying to do, but Ashleigh’s reaction was ridiculously long and over dramatic. It bordered on painful and took up so much of the book, that it took away from the statement I think the author was trying to make.  Again, this was a pretty good book, but I can’t say I would recommend it.  

Please note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a competently written book but the pacing is too slow for me. If you like quiet reads, this one might appeal to you.

Thoroughly enjoyed this story. The author has gained a fan in me. I really enjoyed the plot, the characters, and in general everything.

What a wonderful quick read.  Vitoria Browne creates characters that the reader can relate to.  They come to feel like friends by the time you finish one of her stories.
Ashleigh chooses to remain in London, after her family moves to NY, to be with her boyfriend Lee.  She discovers Lee is a cheater and kicks him to the curb.  She then meets Dave, whom she grows closer to and begins to care about.  After returning from a trip she is faced with a rumor about Dave, that given her history, has her running, regardless of Dave's explanation.  I highly recommend you read the story to find out how it all turns out.
Thank you Victoria Browne, Neville House Publishing and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.

The protege Ashleigh was potrayed as a young independent woman who still accepted rich Daddy gifts and rent for her Knightsbridge apartment... Well... That's very convenient... anyone can be independent if their rent is paid n they have designer clothes & shoes from Daddy... What else is there to spend on.

Ashleigh is a dental assistant who lives in London.  She followed love and stayed behind in England while her family moved to New York. Although they were disappointed, they supported her choice. The writing confused me in points as at some places Ashleigh was very dependent on her sister and in others it was like they weren’t even close. I get that they have a different dynamic now that they live an ocean apart, but it just didn’t seem consistent.

After she breaks up with her ex-boyfriend, Lee (a rich lawyer), she tries to build back up her faith in love again. She meets Dave and the two of them begin a romantic adventure.  She begins to have loving feelings for her new love interest, but she has difficulty trusting in her gut feeling after it was proven wrong by Lee’s cheating ways.  Ashleigh must explore if she can learn to trust her gut feeling about Dave and possibly believe in love again.

Along the way through her romantic journey, we get to meet Ashleigh’s core group of friends who each have their smaller side tales, although you don’t get too much detail for them. We also get to meet Dave’s twin brother and roommate Peter and their new roommate Isabella. We get glimpses as well into these side characters, but never too much that we get attached to them as characters.

The point of view changes throughout the novel to be told from both Ashleigh and Dave’s perspectives. However, it was about 70% Ashleigh and 30% Dave as it seemed his inner thoughts were only told as a supporting argument to anything that’s needed for Ashleigh’s thoughts/feelings at a particular point in the story. It was disappointing as usually changing POVs between our two main characters allow a reader to learn backstories and reasoning behind their personalities, but this one seemed to miss the mark as it was all about Ashleigh so it was hard to understand why the author bothered to include Dave’s side at any point.

The storyline is very jumpy as you rush through certain parts of the story and then it drags through another. One minute you’re at one topic and then it’ll jump into another. I wish the author had focused more on building the romance between Dave and Ashleigh so the novel can live up to its romance/chicklit label.

Despite its shortcomings, the novel is a fun read and hard to put down.  Ashleigh as a character was likeable, but she seriously has a lot of growing up to do emotionally (even at the end of the novel, I didn’t feel like she learned anything new). (Unfortunately, I can’t explore my full thoughts on this subject as it would spoil parts of the novel, but this character could definitely use some maturing overall.) 

The theme of the gut feeling is an excellent concept and it’s nice that the novel highlighted it throughout by mentioning it casually in various thoughts and conversations. Trusting your gut is typically a great way to tell if something will work out as usually it turns out to be correct. There is also a great lesson that a great support system is always necessary and it’s important to be there for your friends and have them be there for you.

Overall, Dave and Ash were a cute couple and it was heart-warming to watch the love story unfold. As the novel is under 200 pages, it was a nice short read.  It had a lot of fun moments with some tender and sweet ones thrown in. The storyline was decent and I would recommend it to those who want a nice and easy contemporary novel to read.

Brilliant plot, impeccable twist. I really loved the characterisation too. 5 stars, favourite of the year.

I am drawn to books that follow numerous characters whose stories eventually intersect. Loveeeeeddddd it .

A sweet sweet romance!

I thorough enjoyed the end even though the beginning felt a little too drawn out for me. I absolutely love how she gets the good guy.

'Gut Feeling,' we all have them so easy to relate to this story when judging people’s character...especially men! Lol
Ashleigh has been hurt and it’s time to make a stand and change things up. 

When she meets someone new are they any different to her awful controlling ex? Can he prove himself and can Ashleigh trust him?

A really enjoyable read, with characters that you grow fond of, especially Ashleigh a genuinely lovely and sweet person.

This wasn't your quintessential Brit lit/rom com, in that it felt rather more cosmopolitan than most books set in the UK, especially since there were several American spellings and Americanisms dotted through it, which I found did detract from the story a little.  The blurb does say it was edited in American English, though, so as long as you're not a stickler for a novel in a British setting with British characters using British English, then you probably won't notice.

Ashleigh is a rich girl, who lives in an expensive part of London (her parents pay), but is down to earth enough to have a job as a dental nurse. She also has an ex who causes her trouble, and a new boyfriend, Dave, who is a bit of a hunk. There is a great deal of soul-searching and some distressing events during the book, as apart from the love interest, the story was backlit with some serious issues concerning non-consensual sex, intimidation and harassment.

I found it hard to take to Ashleigh, but she did grow on me at the end and I found I was rooting for her to achieve her HEA.

I really loved this! It was a lot of fun, well written and the characters were well developed! I highly recommend this for others!! This was an important read and I found the book to be so great!

Ah i just love Happy Endings and this book just gets you in all the feels
I loved and was pleasantly surprised by the Gut feeling because this is my first read from the author.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for something light to read

First of all, I would like to thank Netgalley for the ebook in exchange for my honest review.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It is a cute, lighthearted and funny read, which is clearly seen from the cover and the title. I really like the main theme of this book which is to follow your instincts, what your gut feelings are, and to follow your heart.
This book revolves around the life of Ashleigh Land who chose to stay in England when her family decided to move to New York. She gave up her golden chance of a new life and big career opportunities because of a boy, Lee. It turned out that Lee actually played with her trust and cheated on her that left her with heartbreak and serious trust issues. As Ashleigh gave him many chance and he always proved to be a cheater, she decided to finally follow her gut feelings and move on. This was when she met Dave who is sexy, caring, handsome, and utterly loves her. Would she be able to trust Dave? Or Is Dave another picture of Lee? 
One of the many aspects that I liked about this book is the way the author portrays the role of true friendship. I loved Ashleigh’s friends, Rachael, Gemma, Jules, and Leon. In fact I liked these secondary characters more than the main characters. I found Ashleigh a bit annoyed, at times it felts like she is so mature and self-confident, but then she’d act like an immature teenage girl constantly having doubts about her self-esteem and about others. I loved the character of Kelly actually. 
It is really entertaining and enjoyable book. I gave this book 3.5 stars because some parts of this book left me bewildered. I felt like some of the scenes are not dealt with enough depth, and other scenes were exaggerated unnecessarily. On the whole, it is a nice little story, can be completed in one sitting that will leave you happy in the end. Would recommend if you are into chick lits, and cute romances.

Great book with lots of twists and turns. Good style of writing and kept me wanting to read more. Enjoyed the characters and the story flowed well

But mixed feelings on this one, on the whole I thought it was an enjoyable light read, but I felt also it touched on some serious issues but only touched on them, like the communication between the characters they would have discussions but avoid the important subjects, it was frankly frustrating at times, yet on the whole I still enjoyed the story, that’s why I’m a bit torn unsure how I felt equal pleasure and frustration, mixed review from me as I’m confused 

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Thank you NetGalley, Neville House Publishing and Victoria Browne for gifting me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review! 
	This is a case of right idea, wrong execution. I really wanted this book to get there, but it just never did for me. This book was a little too all over the place to truly enjoy the story. I love a good, light read... but unfortunately this one just wasn’t good.
