Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 7, 2014
I’ll be honest with you from the start of this review. I came close to giving this book 4 stars but realised that with the huge smile that I had upon reading the closing lines of this book I was being mean. Is this book a full 5 stars? No. Why? There are parts in the book that just do not seem to fit in well with the rest of the book. Either they seem rushed or just out of place and for this reason count this review as 4  stars.Now the story itself!! I cannot help grinning while writing this thinking of what to say. You have an American girl, Sam, house sitting for a couple who one day gets a call on a drawbridge (stay with me here!) telling her that her home has been sold and that she has 6 weeks in which to vacate. She breaks down on the bridge where a gorgeous guy helps jump start her car. Horror of horrors she later finds out that the gorgeous British guy who helped her on the bridge is indeed the new owner of the house.There are many humorous moments in this book. With the different meaning that Americans and British use for words it leads to interesting conversations between the pair. One that springs to mind is a conversation about Sam’s dance trophy for Shagging! As a Brit myself I was giggling away picturing in my mind exactly what Brock, the British man, was envisioning!!There are also many heartfelt moments which I will not go into too much as to not ruin the story. Needless to say at the end when their HEA occurred I was silently cheering them on!It is a great start to a series from a brand new author and I for one cannot wait to read her next book in the series about one of Sam’s friends, Rip Tide Bikini. If this is her debut novel you know that there can be only good things to come!!Please note I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
