Description

Patricia doesn’t want to go the wedding alone, especially since she seems to be the only single person there. Escaping to the chateau gardens for some fresh air and solitude, she is stunned by the sight of a handsome, mysterious man gazing out at the view. This is almost too perfect. Except for the fact that once the conversation starts, Patricia realises that her mysterious stranger is most definitely not perfect. Put off by his rude and miserable demeanour, Patricia makes a quick exit.

Later, Patricia agrees to a blind date as a favour to a friend. What does she have to lose? Maybe a night out, good food and good company could be just the thing she needs to take her mind off her non-existent love life. Until the businessman turns out to be only too familiar…

From the first few pages I was hooked with the characters and wanted to find out how the story would progress. I was routing for the main characters Brent and Luna from the beginning.

A beautiful love story of loving someone for their heart and not being afraid of being vulnerable. A beautiful quick read. I loved the characters and the story.

A quick and easy read.

When Patricia goes to a wedding, she feels lonely as she watches the festivities. She imagines what it would be like to find her future husband there. All of her hopes are dashed at first when she meets Bastien. It's kind of funny how she imagines him to be the prince charming and he turns out to be the rude, irritable beast. But everything is not as it seems.

By chance, Patricia ends up being Bastien's dinner date. She finds out that he's a man who's carrying some scars, both inside and out. Their attraction slowly builds as they spend more and more time together until they realize that they are perfect for each other.

This is a sweet, light-hearted story that doesn't take itself too seriously. I really liked it.

Cute little arrangement surrounding the beautiful countryside of France and England... and most importantly wine!

There were some flaws in the writing that I noticed and I felt that the scenes, especially the intimate moments ended sharply and didn’t flow into the next scene fluidity. There was some repetitive nature as well that as a reader I can’t stand.

However, the overall concept was nice and towards the end, you really feel the emotion pour off the pages for Patsy. I felt her emotion screamed off the pages. Also, I wished that there was a POV for Bas to get his inner emotion and feelings.

Sizzling International Romance
This romance has a pretty interesting storyline involving vineyards in both France and Britain. While the reader pretty much knows where the story is going, the road taken is interesting. I usually read clean romantic stories and this is not. If I had known how graphic this story was, I would not have read it at all. I was able to jump past that and the story still held together. Easily the worst thing about the story was the heroine's constant angst and second-guessing the motives of herself and others. I received this ARC book for free from Net Galley and this is my honest review.

This was a cute and fluffy almost rom-com that was somewhat of a satisfying read. I am really starting to hate the theme of friends to lovers as an all encompassing genre to these kinds of books. I like the main two characters This book did not wow me, it was just on the okay-ish side after reading such strong nonfiction and other different fiction books. JMO.

Thanks to Netgalley, Belinda Wright and Troubador Publishing Matador division for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When I requested this novel I was into the ideal of reading this novel but I discovered that I was unable to provide feedback on this book due to the series being archived prior to download and file/download issues. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience of not being to review and thank you for taking the time to provide me an ARC of this novel.

This is a light hearted, fast if not a little choppy, read.

I love the enemies to lovers story, and will read them always. This one had a fun spin on how they met and how they came together which I liked. Some of the scenes were choppy to read, and the heroine (Patricia) did push my buttons a couple times. I love a strong heroine, who if she second guesses herself that is okay, but the vibe was off. I would have loved to have a couple chapters with Bastien (Bas) P.O.V. but I still really enjoyed the book and will be telling friends to read this summer.

I was given a free copy to review for my honest opinions through NetGalley.

I received A Business Arrangement by Belinda Wright for free in exchange for an honest review. I didn't know what to think going in as I had not read any books by this author before. I highly enjoyed it and was drawn into the story and the characters immediately. It was a very good read (light and fun) that I would recommend to anyone. I am going to look for more books by this author.

This book was ok for me. The writing didn’t flow easily between scenes and was somewhat repetitive. The storyline was good. Would I recommend it to a friend? Probably. Thank you NetGalley and Trubadour Publishing for the chance to read this book.
