I loved the last books so I knew I would love Bonnie and Theo. The story pulled me in and I couldn't stop reading. It had everything I want in a book. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Also, you will not be lost if you haven't read the last book.

A great light hearted romantic comedy! This is the second book in this series and it doesn’t disappoint. Bonnie thinks she’s got her whole life planned out and she has a fairytale ending when her longtime boyfriend proposes. Needless to say she was completely wrong about him. When they don’t work out she goes to London to teach summer classes to try to pick the pieces of her life back up. What she doesn’t expect is the sexy British Theo that she meets! Together they both have to see if the odds against them are too much because the are smitten with each other!

I received Smitten by the Brit for free through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I read this one right after reading "Getting Hot with the Scott" as several of the same characters are in each. I found it to be an enjoyable read, but preferred "Getting Hot with the Scott." Both had heat and laughs.

I enjoyed this frothy fast paced romance. Bonnie Blythe is an English professor. She's engage to her childhood sweetheart and is ready to take the next step. Her dreams falls apart when she finds that he's cheating. Can she start over and find true love? Bonnie is to trusting. I was sorry that her fiancée took advantage of her, but I was glad that she realized that she deserved better. Theo is the perfect hero. I liked his caring and gentleness. These two are drawn to each other. It was romantic seeing Bonnie and Theo together. Their dialogue was smart and sassy. It added spice and humor. Theo is committed to his family. As the only male he must marry for money. Who has to do that? Melonie Johnson wrote characters that were both funny and flirty. I enjoyed this story. This is the second book in The Sometimes In Love series. I can wait to see what happens next.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.

I'm bummed to say me and this author's style did not mesh. I did not finish Getting Hot with the Scot and don't have an inclination to try the rest of the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this fairytale romance that started, stopped and stuttered it's way into my heart. The characters were so believable and the circumstances were tragic and sometimes funny. Very emotional read with lots of references to Austen and Shakespeare. I'm looking for more to read by Melonie Johnson!

After reading Getting Hot with the Scot I really wanted Theo's story. Johnson did not disappoint. Theo and his charm and politeness was a major plus to the story. Bonnie was very likable and handled the changes in her life realistically. I liked how he let her take charge and giving her space to make her own decisions. Out of the two books so far Theo and Bonnie are my favorite.

Great read from a first time author

I received a copy from Netgalley and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion

Received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

Yay! I'm so glad we got Theo and Bonnie's story right away and Melonie didn't make us wait! The attraction between these two was evident in Cassie and Logan's story and when a newly single Bonnie takes up a summer teaching job not far from Theo's home in England, it's only a matter of time before they get together.

This was interesting because neither one of them was really all that interested in being in a relationship. Theo was honor-bound by his Dukedom to marry well and Bonnie has a bad taste for relationships after her break up. This read more like a slow boil than Cassie's story, and I was okay with that. We really got to see these two - we saw their relationship start somewhat platonically (but not really) and move into the heat that makes reading fun.

Well done...my one question is who the next girl will be since we didn't get a set up like we did with this one...Hmmmm...

4 stars

Smitten by the Brit by Melonie Johnson is a sweet, fun and entertaining read.

The storyline is well written, it held my interest and I loved the friendship and bond the girls had.
I also enjoyed watching Bonnie and Theo's relations unfold. They made me smile, laugh and swoon, they totally belong together and I was happy they were able to find their happily ever after.

Overall, Smitten by the Brit is a lovely start to the A Sometimes in Love series and I'm looking forward to reading more.

*Thank you to the publisher via Netgalley for the advance copy.*

This was a fun, heartwarming, emotional and engaging romantic journey filled with lots of witty banter, funny moments and undeniable passion.... a truly entertaining read from beginning to end that was impossible to put down. Loved the intriguing charters and sweetly thrilling twists. Fabulous reading!

Theo and Bonnie are simply meant to be. Yet the road to get them together is cobbled and spans an ocean. This is a fun, witty romantic read that gives you more of the girls and Cassie's wedding as a bonus.

This charming story has all the ingredients of a lighthearted romantic comedy and draws you in from the beginning. This is a wonderfully warm, witty and sparkling story with a colorful cast of characters that you can fall in love with. It was great to join all the familiar characters from the Sometimes in Love series again and follow them while preparing themselves to take part in the wedding celebrations of Cassie and Logan.
This is a story about two people who have a lot in common but who are beleaguered by the doubts engendered by modern society and family obligations.
Bonnie has been trying very hard to forget Theo, but he embodies every Austen hero she has ever crushed on and she can’t stop thinking about her fairytale prince come to life. She is offered a new chance to go back to England to teach Shakespeare summer classes at Cambridge.
Theo has obligations and duties to fulfill. His family’s sprawling estate is on the verge of bankruptcy and his mother is determined to marry him to an heiress. In his family, marriage is a mere business arrangement.
I enjoyed reading about Theo and Bonnie’s personal doubts, struggles and how they decided to move on with their lives. I liked seeing Bonnie give up some of her control and just operate on her emotions. She had a way of putting Theo at ease. They perfectly complemented each other. Bonnie and Theo's development was perfect, as their relationship began to grow. It made the story more relatable and real.
All in all, I had a great time with this cute romance.

I like this a little bit better than the first book. It is well-written with many elements that make a successful romance. Sympathetic main characters achieve personal growth by the end of the book. Fascinating secondary characters spark interest in reading future stories about them. Scenic locations make one want to travel there. Story flows easily using language that seem appropriate for the characters.

But, the same things I enjoyed are the same things that caused me to downgrade my rating. All the familiar elements mean there's not much that is original here. The cause of the break-up with the long-time fiancé - predictable. The financially-challenged duke having to marry an heiress to save his family from ruin - read thousands of them. Tabitha, Theo's sister, one of the fascinating secondary characters nearly took over the book. I like her better than Bonnie or Theo. Their HFN didn't happen because of their love for one another. Tabitha was the one who made sure they get together. Finally, the scene I like the most is the popsicle blow-job tutorial, which featured the five friends. For a romance novel, it should be something that happened between the hero and heroine. Sadly, nothing Bonnie and Theo did together stood out. They didn't even say I love you to each other.

I received the next book in the series. I'll still read and review it. I'll probably complain again about it being so white. No PoC sighting in this book, either. Maybe that South Side witch is one. Maybe.

They met last summer. She was not free, and he was duty-bound not to follow his heart. But they met again, and the attraction cannot be denied. For Bonnie Blythe and Theo Wharton, it was a balancing act between love and duty.

Bonnie’s ex-fiancé broke her heart. So, when an opportunity to teach in England arrived, she accepted. Meeting Theo again was a given. She does not want him to be her rebound guy. Yet, deep down, she knew that what she felt for him was stronger.

Theo was the Duke of Eberton and duty-bound to keep the estate going not only for his family, but also for the people who for generations had depended on the duchy. He needed to marry an heiress to fill the family coffers. Yet, Bonnie was who his heart desired.

If you love Regency romances, “Smitten by the Brit” is its 21st century equivalent. The “haute ton” might no longer exist but duty still does. Following the story of Bonnie and Theo gives a surprising solution for the love and duty dilemma.

“Smitten by the Brit” is a fun read with some British dry wit humor. You will find Theo and his family fascinating. And most of all, you will fall in love with Theo and Bonnie who against all odds find their way to their happily ever after.

“Smitten by the Brit” is Rated T for Teens.

Really enjoyed this rom com that pulled at my heartstrings. Look forward to reading more from this author

I absolutely loved this story! It was a solid second book for this series. I have especially enjoyed expanding my knowledge about the rest of the fabulous group of friends. Getting to know Theo was a delight. and Bonnie, with her endearing quirks, was also a pleasure to get to know. Relatable characters and a story full of heart. Can't go wrong here!

This book stands alone, but you'll want to read the first one to know the characters and their history.
This is a fun romance between an American girl and an English Duke. You'll be hoping he's not a rebound, but perhaps she just came to her senses. The antics of his family are entertaining making for a delightful read.

I recently discovered Ms Johnson with Hot for the Scot and was pleasantly surprised to discover her follow up novel was almost as fun as her debut.
Smitten with the Brit is sequential in its timeline to Hot for the Scot, so there are potential spoilers in this stand alone effort. But, Ms Johnson has done an excellent job of making this book independent (so don’t worry if you are just now finding her).
Bonnie and Theo are both interesting and entertaining characters. Bonnie’s emotional journey was a key part of the story. My biggest complaint was I would have liked to see a little more of the same from Theo. We watched him struggle a bit, but we never really go to see him resolve his issues. It almost seemed as if the author reached a certain point and went "okay, we have to wrap this up now."
The secondary cast plays a big role in the story, especially Bonnie’s group of friends whom we first met in book one. I am curious to see where the author goes next and what is in store for the friends next.

I truly enjoyed this book, possibly because Bonnie could be me. Well, not the Shakespeare stuff, but definitely the Austen quotes, books, writing journals, tea, England, Scotland and I wish - a sexy Brit or Scot. Melonie's writing made me feel like I was right there with them in the story. I loved Theo so much, except he was an idiot for a good portion of the book which I know was necessary, but the author really drug that out to the point I wasn't sure if there was HEA or not. This story made me wonder if marriages of convenience are still practiced in England with the aristocracy, they probably are, but I felt like Theo's Snooty Dame mother was stuck in the 19th century. Anyway, if you like any of things I listed above, then you'll love this book. So pick it up and read it.
