A heartwarming story about a woman whose distrust of men is put to the ultimate test. With her friend married and moving on Shelby is worried their dreams of a boutique will not come come to fruition. However life throws a curve-ball when Jana her friend suggest a roommate and a man with a child at that.

Will she go for it and if so, is she willing to put her heart on the line all over again? A nice easy read for me and one that was enjoyed.

Bedazzled Dreamer is an entertaining romance. I enjoyed the plot and the characters. A quick and fun read. I highly recommend this book. Thanks to the publisher for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

I didn't realize this was the second book in a series, although there were references along the way that made me think it was, I kept trying to figure out relationships throughout most of the book which detracted from my enjoyment as I wasn't always sure what was going on. However, it is a feel good story. Perhaps a bit too unrealistic, but nevertheless fun to read.

I read an uncorrected proof so I am hoping that also means un edited. I read numerous uncorrected proofs and I don't like leaving reviews that are low because I am sure the author gave it their best and worked hard. I almost never leave one below a 4. But this one needs a little more work. The beginning was slow and choppy and flashed back to where people lived before and then to present where there seemed like a lot of characters and a lot of unnecessary information.

The storyline is really good, and there are some parts that are excellent, but felt it needed a little more so cohesiveness with the characters. For the most part, characters were realistic, but there were many and seemed not to be introduced in a way that they held together. It was of course easy to guess where things were going but, that was not really an issue.

The story was sometimes choppy as was the conversations, I felt like the timing was staccato in places. I loved the child and his speech and baby talk was spot on, however there were loose ends as to why he enunciated some words better than others. we can only guess it is because of her name, but was there a cause? Why mention it twice if not giving further explanations, it was just dropped. I think this book has potential to be really good but what I read needed further editing , deleting minutia and pulling timelines and events together in a more cohesive fluid manner.

Again, I apologize to the author for the poor number review but I think there are parts that needed help and it is a disservice to the author not to point them out.
I received this book as a complimentary copy for an unbiased review. The opinions expressed are my own.

A lovely story with cute characters, a nice read that you will devour in no time. Friendship, family and romance a lovely quick read.

It was alright. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever read but it still was good. Not my cup of tea but I’ll give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Shelby is excited to open a shop with her best friend. But with Janna just-married and moved out, she worries their hopes of starting a boutique will never come true. And things get more complicated when her old distrust of men is put to the test by her handsome new roommate and his little boy…

With Oktoberfest decorations forgotten and replaced by Christmas cheer, she slowly allows Shane and the child a space in her heart. But she doesn’t trust her second chance at romance or the success of her shop when surprising news threatens her newly minted courage.

Can Shelby find the strength to let her ambitions flourish, along with her new passion?

I usually do not read romance books, but I was very much enjoying this Bedazzled. I loved the pace of the book, and the characters you just had to love. I was bedazzled by the ned. A sweet, touching story, and NO sexual or foul words.
