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.

After reading Getting Hot With the Scot, I was thrilled to see this follow-up where Theo and Bonnie get together. Once again, Melonie Johnson's wit, sensitivity, and rich characterizations create a sexy, exciting story I can't wait to recommend to others. Five stars!

This author was recommended by Julie James...soooo I’m in! This is the first book I have read in this series, but I will fix that ASAP. Theo and Bonnie were a great couple. I enjoyed their developing romance and the interactions with their friends and family.

Smitten by the Brit by Melonie Johnson was refreshing. It didn’t develop in a predictable way and the love scenes seemed more authentic since they didn’t appear overly choreographed and perfect.

Fun, sexy contemporary romance.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

This is a nice story for fans of a modern day Jane Austen type tale, and it is full of literary references but at the same time contemporary and fun. The plot is time honored, with enough twists to keep it from being rote. Land rich and cash poor Brit needs to marry well to save the family estate, but falls in love with an American girl who does not have that kind of assets. American girl, who has had her future planned for years, discovers her long term finance cheating and reconnects with the Brit she met and was attracted to s year before when she was still engaged. We all know how this ends, but there are numerous unexpected turns on the path which makes it fun getting there.

We all have different styles of story telling that we prefer, and this one was a little heavy on the internal dialogue for me. But the overall telling of it was nice, and the characters, especially the Duke's family, were very engaging. This book was an enjoyable change of pace.

Super cute story. I loved Bonnie and Theo. Based on the cover/blurb, I was expecting more of the book to take place in the UK (it didn't get there until about 50%) but that didn't detract from the story at all.

Must love Jane Austen.

Bonnie Blythe is a professor.
She's newly engaged, but well, that didn't work out.

Theo Wharton is British,
He's the quintessential charming Brit, (its the accent, ladies) and when Bonnie is in England, she figures Theo is FWB material.

But is there more in store for these two?
Charming.

After reading Cassie and Logan’s story, I couldn’t WAIT to read Bonnie and Theo’s and I have to say, it didn’t disappoint! After taking a summer position at Cambridge, Bonnie and Theo reconnect and fireworks begin. With a dash of meddling mother, a few awesome sisters and a heavenly lake house, we finally find out if Bonnie will get her happily ever after with her Duke!

Wow...what a rough ride for Theo and Bonnie. But it was certainly a romance from beginning to end. Hurt and disgusted with her ex-fiance, Bonnie isn't sure about her feelings for anyone. Trying to do the right thing for his snooty mama, Theo isn't sure what to feel about anything. Good thing Theo's sister has a way to make people see what they should. Perfect ending for this lovely couple!!

This 2nd book in the series is a great fun easy read! I did think it was a bit too long but I like my romances less than 300 pages.

You will likely blush because the scenes are well written and not over the top.

Will read another in the series.

Thank you for the ARC, Netgalley!

Cute light hearted read. The follow up to Getting Hot with the Scot, Smitten by the Brit is Bonnie and Theo’s story.
I enjoyed reconnecting with this cast of characters and look forward to reading about Ana, Sadie and Delaney’s love matches.

Sparks fly between Bonnie and Theo when they meet on her girls getaway trip to Europe. The only problem is Bonnie is engaged and hoping to start planning her wedding when she get back to the states. Then a shocking discovery leads Bonnie to end her engagement. While her best friend Cassie has met the love of her life and is getting married to Logan, she encounters Theo again. Will the sparks continue to fly or is Cassie gun shy after her previous engagement? The second in this fun, steamy series.

A Dashing Duke

Bonnie and Gabe have been together forever. They got engaged and still need to set a date, but Gabe has other plans!
Bonnie is an English Teacher. An opportunity to teach overseas falls in her lap. She will teach in England for the summer. Bonnie and her girlfriends traveled last summer. Bonnie and Theo met last summer while they were traveling, but Bonnie was engaged last summer. Will the sparks fly or fizzle?

This sequel was cute. I enjoyed the story, both characters were likable. The book is a pretty spicy - some parts a little TMI for my personal tastes. If you like predictable chick-lit romance, you’ll be into this book.

Bonnie ends a long term relationship and reconnects with Theo whom she had met the previous year. I thoroughly enjoyed this story - I do love a British hero. I felt bad for the family responsibilities Theo was burdened with (really his mother??) and happy an alternative was found for the family's financial security. Looking forward to what's next for this series!

This is the second in the series. It continues with Theo and Bonnie. Bonnie and Theo are wonderful together. Theo is such a gentleman with a bit of a wild side he doesn’t mind showing Bonnie. Bonnie’s friends are so much fun and help her through some tough times. The book is well written and a wonderful romance read!

Despite my lack of knowledge that this is the second book in the series I didn’t have any trouble reading the book. I loved how cute the storyline was, the characters were great and the setting is what really drew me in.
