The characters complimented each other well. Having a bad run of luck with her most recent ex, Ashleigh doesn't know she is having a little more of that same run of luck as she encounters Dave.

Lee and Dave show her she needs to start trusting differently. This book was a good novel a plot that thickens but Ashleigh can confuse you without trying. It's just the type of personality she has. I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest reciew

This was a really fun book to read. Loved the background characters and hope that there will be follow up books on some of them. My only issue was the end of the book. It would have been nice to have a bit of an epilogue for this story.

This book is ideal if you like your chick lit, great holiday read with likable characters

I enjoyed this book although at times things seemed a bit unrealistic. Put that aside and it was very readable and being on holiday I finished it in a day

This was one of those stories where a lot of things keep happening but nothing actually leads up to any one thing, or character. Ashleigh and Dave were almost two-dimensional and didn’t bother me at all. Ashleigh was a bit irritating with the whole I-hope-he-likes-me wonderings that must’ve probably got her brain tired, because I was too tired after a while. Dave fell flat to me because while his point of view was narrated, he didn’t come alive at all. He worked as a love interest to the girl...and that’s it. Plus, whenever the romance took a center-point for the development of these characters, the fluff scenes took a front seat and weren’t much fun to read either. They seemed unnecessary most of the time and almost always drew me out. At least the romance could’ve worked if it was given as much time as Ashleigh wondering whether Dave likes her or not. The nest would be my personal take on this but while Dave was this perfect man who’s hot and understanding...I didn’t like how perfect he was. I know, I know, I love a good guy too but dude, you gotta be flawed for me to like you so Dave, sadly, didn’t amuse me much.

I believe this book was a first for this author and evidence throughout the book points to that conclusion.The story is about a self deprecating, brave young woman Ashleigh, who chose love over family,had regrets later about that decision and is now untrusting of her ability to make wise choices in her life.The dialogue for the most part was bland and the constant ,repetitive , juvenile musings by the main character only managed to slow the pace of the story.Despite these flaws, the author managed in a circuitous way, to convey the storyline nonetheless.I found no urgency to complete the book , but I did not , not want to finish it, as the subject was interesting enough and a few of the supporting characters were intriguing in their own way.The hero Dave, had a twin that I felt totally disgusted by and would have rather not met at all,he is such a complete contrast to his brother.The story wrapped up quickly with the typical "aha" moment and the race to make things right and find happiness before it flies away.Overall this was a decent read with a title and cover art that was truly inspired and appropriate.

I adore a good #ChickLit title and this one definitely fits the bill.

Ashleigh Lands has had a terrible run of luck with love. While her family has started a new, posh life in America, she stayed behind in England for a guy. A guy who turned out to be a cheating cad.

Through her work, she meets a new guy who turns her head and has her thinking maybe, just maybe, she will find true love. Dave seems like the real deal and the more she falls for him the easier it is for her to refuse her ex's advances.

But then the bubble bursts when she overhears Dave's roommate talking about a night while Ashleigh was on her girl's trip. She's now ready to call it quits for England and move to America where her family now resides.

Like all ChickLit, this one has a dash of romance and just enough tension to keep things interesting. If you are looking for a quick read that has a bit of fun, then check it out. Just don't expect deep character development (and some might say Ashleigh is a bit spoiled as Daddy still pays most of her bills!)

Normally I love this kind of book and I’m willing to suspend belief to be swept up in a good romance. However, this book stretched realism a little too far. I didn’t quite buy into Ashleigh’s story and the book fell a little short in terms of character development. That said, it was a quick read and may have done the trick as a “beach read”. I’m grateful to NetGalley for the chance to read this book.

I skim read most of this to finish it. Not a great read, too drawn out in many places and the issues seemed immaturely handled. In fact, some of it was pretty insulting and offensive.

This story was easy to read but predictable, the style of writing was a bit hard to follow at first, slightly over descriptive but the pace was good.
Ashleigh the main character was a bit annoying, too placid, no fire, a little too nice really but she did suit the story.
I much preferred her friends who brightened up the plot.
I really didn't like Lee and although I warmed to Dave, I found him also too good to be true, the ending was satisfactory however.
Worth a read if you want a breezy novel which you don't have to think about too much.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. Loved it !!!!! Another brilliant read, would recommend this to anybody who enjoys chick lit.

<b> Gut Feeling </b> by Victoria Browne is a fun quick read but don't expect any deep enlightenment. The character development in this novel fell a bit short in my opinion. Ashleigh was struggling with trust issues due to her past relationship with Lee. We really don't get to know Lee a lot other than him showing up once in a while trying to re-stake a place in Ashleigh's heart. I felt the deepest connection to Dave. We get to know who he is, what he is thinking and why he feels the way he does. These things are important to making a connection with a character, especially the protagonist. Another downside for me was the plot; or lack thereof. There just wasn't enough conflict. When I finished <b> Gut Feeling </b> I couldn't really tell you what went on in the book. Ashleigh and Dave's relationship felt like it was only a week along and then all the sudden it was time to wrap up the book.

With my negatives, I actually did enjoy the funny, witty moments that Ashleigh had. I would definitely not hesitate to pick up another one of Victoria Browne's novels, I just might not recommend this one to all my friends.

I want to thank NetGalley and the Publisher for a chance to read <b> Gut Feeling</b>.

At 60% on my Kindle I finally gave up on this book. This story was so meandering, and I kept waiting for something, anything to happen. Some beefs: Why does Ashleigh keep obsessing over her ex when she has said time and again he was a bad guy? Why do we skip directly from Ashleigh and Dave meeting to their being in a relationship? The best fun of a romance is participating vicariously as the relationship unfolds, not just taking it for granted because the author said so.

Poor Ashleigh feels like she's the black sheep of her rich family because she didn't move to New York with her family, instead staying behind for a romance that ended up failing. Every woman can relate to Ashleigh in feeling insecure in a relationship and questioning life decisions. The fact that Ashleigh could be anyone made this an quick and easy book to read.

Highly entertaining. It has everything: laugh out loud moments, romance... I quickly got hooked up on the story.

Caveat! I did not finish this book.

I wanted to like this book very much, especially after reading the author's note at the beginning of the book. Unfortunately, I could not. It was the content I had problems with. Specifically, the way of life of both main characters; their professions and lifestyle did not add up realistically. This threw me off.

I quite liked this book.

The book is about Ashleigh Lands, a dental nurse living in London. Her family has moved to New York and she stayed behind to be with (what she thought) was the love of her life who ended up to being a jerk (we have all been there, right?). We follow Ashleigh and her group of friends on their daily adventures. Ashleigh meets a man (who I now have a bit of a crush on), and....well, you will have to read the book to find out what happens.

This started out as an easy beach type read. As I was reading, I really got attached to the characters and invested in what was happening to them. And I did want to know what was going to happen next.

There is a very interesting storyline that is a role reversal on unwanted sexual advances. I give kudos to the author for that. (You will see what I mean when you read the book.)

The gist of the book - see: title - is that one needs to trust their gut feelings vs. over-thinking things. I could totally relate, and this is where the book hooked me in. We all have insecurities, and to see this played out on both sides of the relationship (even men are insecure?!) was refreshing.

If you are looking for an enjoyable, quick read, this is your book!

I rated this 3/5 on Goodreads (it would be 3.5 if they allowed half stars).

Full disclosure: I received this eARC from NetGalley for a fair and honest review. (Thanks NetGalley!)

Short, cute little romance. book. Good book to read on the beach. This book includes "British" slang, which was hard for me to understand.
