Let me just I love me a cozy romance! I was obsessed with the banter and connection between the two MCs and was kicking my feet like a school girl the whole book. This was truly just a great romance, no miscommunication, no third act breakup, no nothing and it was so nice to read. Definitely a good palette cleanser when you just want to take a step back and just enjoy the moment!

Thank you again for the ARC!

Tuesday and Ben's story is a sweet and charming, semi-low angst romance. They're a couple that's easy to root for and the plot is pure escapist fantasy: he richer than rich, they fake an engagement to impress a Duke and Duchess (who turn out to be super down-to-earth and not stuffy at all), she's a fan of a famous actor, Daniel de Luca, and happens to end up in a hotel where there's a convention for, guess who: famous actor Daniel de Luca (who happens to look a lot like Ben). So, it's a bit of wild ride with a lot going on and a few too many tropes competing with each other, but if you're in the mood for pure romantic escapism, this book is it.

An American in London
I loved this book with its two brilliant characters Ben and Tuesday plus a great supporting cast, sparkling dialogue and a heart warming fast paced story.
Tuesday has had a tough time now in London she has to prove herself to her employers in a New York Wall Street bank by working with a new CEO. As well as this her boyfriend of 10 years has run off with a ballerina.
The first meeting between her and billionaire Ben is really amusing and the story continues with taciturn Ben needing Tuesday’s help with a deal he is trying to make with a Duke.
Their relationship gathers momentum and is wonderfully described with lovely emotional moments.
A throughly heartwarming romance that leaves you feeling upbeat and happy.
My thanks to netgalley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

I loved this book so much that I simultaneously couldn't wait to read it and was sad it was finished so soon - it was just that good! I am a huge fan of Louise Bay's books and whenever she has a new one published it is automatically on my TBR list but this book is one of my favorite ever. The characters were wonderful and completely likable and the story was fast-paced and very entertaining while at the same time just so romantic. I rooted for Tuesday from the start and Ben turned out to be the perfect book-boyfriend. For me an excellent romance that I will be sure to reread more than once.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC!

An American in London was a fun and lighthearted read! Tuesday is such an outgoing and lively FMC, the complete opposite of the more reserved and serious Ben. Their dynamic made for an entertaining contrast, especially as their paths cross during Tuesday’s work trip to London. The twist? Ben is a doppelgänger for the famous actor Daniel De Luca—someone Tuesday was absolutely obsessed with growing up. And to top it off, there’s a convention for the actor happening right at her hotel, making for some hilarious and over-the-top moments.

While the book leans heavily into the cheesy side—maybe a little too much for me—I can see how others might enjoy it more. The banter was fun, the premise was unique, and the romance had its swoon-worthy moments. If you’re looking for a lighthearted escape with an opposites-attract romance, this one is worth picking up!

The chemistry between them is electric, with every bickering exchange somehow dripping with tension. And when that fake fiancée act starts to blur into something a little too real, it’s pure magic. The writing sparkles with humor, but it also sneaks in moments of vulnerability that make you feel everything. It’s the perfect read for anyone who loves a grumpy-sunshine romance with a side of swoon-worthy banter and just the right amount of emotional chaos. Absolutely obsessed.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed it although I don’t like first person POV. I much prefer third person which allows the writer to let us inside the head of the hero as well as the heroine.

Tuesday (seriously?) and Ben are a perfect couple and for the entire book there is absolutely no reason why they can’t be together. The fake engagement was well done and probably the best part of the book.

Ben is a sweetie - a total hero. Everyone was nice. London was neglected. The Duke and Duchess were like no Duke and Duchess I’ve ever met, but hey - it’s fiction so that doesn’t really matter.

It was a nice story, but it took forever to reach the happy ending that was heralded from the beginning. I just expected … more.

A good 3 star read.
