2.5 StarsBeatrice and Douglas was a book I decided to use my prime membership to borrow.  I’ve never read anything by Kelly Lucille before and I thought I would try something different.I have to say, I didn’t hate this book.  The story itself wasn’t bad, but it’s extremely short for how much is going on, and for me details were skipped over.Beatrice and Douglas grew up together.  Douglas was raised by Beatrice’s uncle Jack, so they have been a part of each other lives since childhood.  Douglas very much wants Beatrice but she is complete blind to it.  She just looks at Douglas as the boy who burned down her Barbie house and has made fun of her all her life.  Besides Douglas is a man whore and only dates blonde bimbos.Both Beatrice and Douglas are working for Uncle Jack on a house remodel and Beatrice is finally falling for Douglas.  Strangle things start happening and the couple have to deal with their new relationship in the middle of chaos.I think the whole book could have been about them as a couple and didn’t need the extra mystery the author provided OR the book should have been longer.  Once Beatrice was giving Douglas a hard time about how he even slept with her sister, and I didn’t even know she had a sister until then.On a side note, all the names in this book felt like they belonged to 80 year olds and I couldn’t stand it.If you wanting a quick, fluffy light read then pick this one up.
