The second installment of the Sometimes in Love series does not disappoint. The book is very well written. Bonnie and Theo are definitely my favorite, until the next book... I love a book that makes me smile and laugh, this one did just that.

I loved that the hero was so gentlemanly and caring but unfortunately I didn't feel the chemistry between the couple and the heroine was one-dimensional to me. She was immature and it was annoying how she called the hero "Brit" all the time. That's just me but I can't stand when I person is called for his nationality.

I could see the potential but I just couldn't get INTO the story.

Smitten by the Brit is the second book in Melonie Johnson's Sometimes in Love series. We met both of the main characters, Bonnie and Theo, in Johnson's debut novel, Getting hot with the Scot. While you don't need to have read the first book to enjoy this one, I do think it helps to set up many of the characters who appear in the book.

When we meet Bonnie Blythe, she is engaged to her childhood sweetheart, Gabe, who has been reluctant to set a wedding date. Bonnie comes to find out the reason for them not setting a date is because he's been cheating on her for quite some time. Doing what she needs to do, she breaks the engagement, leaves their apartment and then really considers an offer she's gotten to be a guest professor for the summer session at Cambridge in the UK. Not only is Bonnie going to spend time in a part of the world that she is very drawn to because of her love of the classic writers and poets, there is also a certain Brit she met while on holiday there the previous summer that is still very much on her mind, especially after having just seen him in Chicago.

Theo is truly a gentleman. He's polite, he's cultured, he's well-mannered and oh yeah, he's the sixteenth Duke of Emberton. He's always had a bit of a hero complex and he knows that his first responsibility is to his family due to the fact that his father has left them in near financial ruin. Theo is now doing everything he can to try to pull his family out of the red and back into the black, but his mother only sees one way to do that and that is for him to marry a woman from a wealthy family. A woman that his mother deems worthy of becoming a duchess. The problem with that is that Theo only has thoughts and feelings for one woman, but he's very well aware of his familial responsibilities.

You can't help but feel the sparks between Theo and Bonnie when they are in the same room together. They get one another on a level that others haven't and they are extremely comfortable around one another from the outset. The biggest question is will they be able to withstand spending so much time together as they are the best man and maid of honor in their best friends wedding while they are fighting their feelings knowing that they can't have the happy ending they want due to Theo needing to save his family name?

I really enjoyed this story and found it easy to read. I'm really interested to see what else Ms. Johnson has to offer in this series. This was another great addition and I look forward to book three!

I enjoyed the first book in the Sometimes In Love series and Smitten with the Brit (book#2) was just as enjoyable! The story of Connie and Theo was sweet, sexy and entertaining. I loved their banter and the dynamic between the two of them. Since I'm not a Shakespeare fan, the quotes were just meh to me but overall, the story was delightful. I did enjoy all of the secondary characters and thought they brought so much more to the story!

I received an advanced review copy of this book.

This is the second book in the series and it was nice to follow up on the characters from the first book. I think this type of book is hard to write. Despite one knowing Bonnie and her boyfriend are not meant to be together, they were set to get married. Having them break up and Bonnie get set up with a new love interest right away is hard to pull off. I think the romance between Theo and Bonnie was impacted by Bonnie having to transition from the break up. Despite this, I did enjoy the story and it was a fun read. I loved reading about all the locations they visited in the UK.

I adored this story! I felt like it had a little bit of everything. The characters were fun and the while time I was rooting for them. I believe there is a book before this one with Cassie's love story and I am going to read it next! It was a perfect light read for the weekend with just enough steamy to match the humor through out. Loved it!

After finishing "Getting Hot with the Scot" I was thrilled to start this book. Bonnie was a character that I was really excited to see unfold. I was waiting for her engagement to end in the previous book, so I was glad when it happened so fast in this one!

I loved Theo in the first book, so obviously I fell in love with him even more in this one, "Prince Eric". Swoon!

This is Smitten By The Brit, book 2 of the Sometimes in Love series, written by Melonie Johnson. This book is my first venture into the world created by Ms Johnson, but judging from how much I loved this book...it will not be my last. You can’t help but love Bonnie and cheer for her as she tries to take her life and wrestle in back under control. Add in a devastatingly handsome Brit named Theo and sparks are flying everywhere!! It caught into flames several different times too. Now I’m going to stalk Ms Johnson and add her to my TBR list, right at the top!

I was so excited to read this second book in the Sometimes in Love series.
We met Bonnie and Theo in Getting Hot With the Scot (go read that!!!). Despite Bonnie being engaged, her chemistry with Theo is off the charts! They both try to deny their attraction but they’re thrown together because of their friends wedding (Logan and Cassie...go read Getting Hot With the Scot!!).
I admit I was skeptical on how they would make a relationship work, for reasons you’ll find out when you read this!! Melonie Johnson does a great job of keeping you guessing until the very end. I would definitely recommend this series and this book for your reading pleasure.
5 stars!!!

Oh sigh. My heart is all aflutter. I found my dream man and he lives in a book. Oh Theo I’m going to have to pine for you from afar. I loved this book and all the wonderful characters in this story. Charming. Heartwarming. Sigh-worthy.

This was a cute book. I enjoyed Theo's character more than I did Bonnie's but they were a believable couple together. I think the pacing was a bit off in this book. The first 45% of the book occurred over 2-3 days, where Bonnie found out her fiance was cheating on her and she had a job interview. The last half of the book was over many months and felt rushed. I wished we heard more about Bonnie's summer teaching job. Overall a decent book but not one I'll return to.

This is the second book in a cute and funny romance series. Bonnie and her friends toured Europe in the previous book where her BFF, Cassie found a Scot and brought him back like a souvenir. While on holiday Bonnie met the Scot's BFF, Theo. Bonnie and her girlfriends all thought he was handsome, but Bonnie began crushing on him. Theo is straight out of one of her British novels - the Austen hero. But...she is engaged to be married to someone back home. This book is about what happens when you take a chance on a once in a lifetime opportunity and that fate might have something to do with your choices. I highly recommend this series if you are looking for a light book about friendship and romance.

I loved the first book so much, I immediately started the 2nd book in the series! It was definitely better to have read the first book to understand where this one picks up with Bonnie and Theo’s story. All the girls and guys from the first book (Getting Hot with the Scot) are back in (Smitten by the Brit) to prepare for Logan and Cassie’s wedding.

I love that Bonnie and Theo get their own book! So many things happen in this book for both of them, I was starting to wonder if the characters (and the readers)😉 were ever going to get their HEA!

I requested and received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest review!

I was eager to continue Bonnie and Theo's story. In Getting Hot With The Scot, her best friend Cassie meets, and falls in love with a man, who has a best friend Theo. Theo and Bonnie have obvious sparks, but Bonnie is engaged to her childhood sweetheart, who is reluctant to set a wedding date. The end of Bonnie's engagement was pretty obvious, and, hello, its a romance novel, of COURSE the characters are going to fall in love following major hurdles, but it was nice to see the way their story evolved. I can't wait to read the love stories of Sadie, Ana and Delaney!

Smitten by the Brit is the second in this great series by Melonie Johnson. I LOVED the first and I also loved this one, the story of Bonnie and Theo. This series is all about UK meets US all the way. What a delightful story line. I highly recommend it. Now off to check out our next couple, Sadie and Bo in Once Upon a Bad Boy.

Many thanks to St. Martin's Press, delivered through NetGalley and to Ms. Johnson for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Oh, man! How I loved this book!
Since I first read Bonnie and Theo in Getting Hot with the Scot I knew their story would be epic. And Smitten by the Brit didn't disappoint me. Bonnie has to face a new development in her life after a longstanding relationship, and this "new chapter" in her story put her back in Theo's path, and this time she has also to face her unresolved feelings for him. But is this a new chapter or a brand new story? That's for Bonnie to decide and Theo, always the gentleman, give her that power in every step of their journey. But once she chooses him all the bets are off.

Both characters were charming and lovely, their chemistry was insanely hot and every single time they were in the same room things got EXPLOSIVE! Bonnie is stubborn and strong, and she has this need to find herself after a difficult situation (I'm not telling you what); and Theo has this "hero complex" always putting everyone's needs first, but this is the his chance to pursuit his own happiness. Their story isn't an easy one, but it's oh so worthy. Also, we get to see how Logan and Cassie are doing after their own HEA, so that's a plus.

As soon as I finished this I wanted to read the others in the series including the one I missed, Hot for the Scot. (Another cute title)

I really enjoyed this book. The writing is witty. It’s fast moving and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Delightful! I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, but in this one, it's obvious that Ms. Johnson's writing skills are improving by leaps and bounds!

Often the characters in romance series are rather shallow and all sound alike. Fortunately, that is _not_ the case in the Sometimes in Love series. Theo and Cassie's story was really interesting and had some neat real-life twists and turns. I especially like the fact that Johnson doesn't fall into the trap of "I'm not asking the obvious question so the conflict will go on for another 50 pages."

I realize I'm defining the book by what it isn't, but what it _is_ is fun, quick to read and engaging. Definitely enjoyable!

Charming read with fun characters. Bonnie has had her life planned out forever-she's been engaged to her childhood sweetheart for a year, with no date set yet but when her best friend meets, dates, gets engaged and the date set all in under a year makes Bonnie wonder when it's her turn. When coming home unexpectedly finds her fiance with another woman on her grandmother's (yes, gasp) quilt her world changes course. Meeting engaged Bonnie last summer has Theo wanting what he can't have but when Bonnie's world suddenly changes he so wants to the her knight in shining armor-he definitely has a need to save everything-damsels and his family estate. Bonnie may be a damsel in distress that tends to take flight rather than confront her problems but she doesn't want Theo stepping and saving the day, she is after all a grown woman. Even with their strong attraction they don't fall easily, obligations factor in too.
