New Meridian Review!

My new review in Meridian Magazine is out! This month I have two recommendations. Fleur de Lis by Sarah Eden and Betting on the Best Friend's Brother by Melanie Jacobson.

Fleur de Lis is the third installment of Sarah Eden's "The Gents" series, but it is easily read standalone without getting lost. This is Henri's story and it is complicated and sweet. Ms. Eden excels at writing complex characters who feel like family by the end of the book and this story is no exception. There is a little thread of intrigue as Nicolette, our heroine, is involved in a secret group and has a mission to perform while she attends a house party that Henri is also a guest at and the sparks are definitely flying in this slow-burn romance. 


The second book is a romcom that features lovable roommates, a bird who likes to throw insults, a heroine with a career in STEM, and a hero who isn't perfect, but is perfect for our heroine---if only he could really "see" her. I really enjoyed this romance with laugh out loud moments and some tender and real emotions as the past catches up to the present and may affect the future. There is also a little twist at the end that I wasn't expecting which really put this romance on my keeper shelf. Betting on the Best Friend's Brother is a good "bet" for your summer reading list!
