Book Review: Drop Dead Gorgeous

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely NOT Dreadful

Be still my geeky heart ❤️ This book is made for trivia loving, socially awkward geeks!

Zoey and Blake meet when Zoey crashes into his car. Zoey is the county coroner and Blake is an insurance agent. Through a serendipitous event where Zoey winds up doing the autopsy on someone who had a life insurance policy through Blake’s company, Zoey and Blake wind up working together to figure out how the man died.

There was a lot I enjoyed about this book! Zoey is my favorite type of character! She’s quirky, funny, and emotionally grows throughout the book. I loved her talking to dead bodies and the random trivia game her and Blake played.

More importantly, I think everyone deserves a boyfriend like Blake. He always puts Zoey first. He realized she was touching wooden objects for luck, so he went out and bought a bunch of wooden objects to put around his house, so she would always have something lucky to touch. And he embraces and loves everything that makes her who she is without trying to change her.

Give this book a try if it sounds like a good fit for you. It’s pretty good! Happy reading y’all!

Book Review: My Big Fat Fake Honeymoon

My Big Fat Fake Honeymoon by Lauren Landish
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lorenzo to the Rescue

The youngest Andrews, Abi, gets herself in the craziest messes! This time, she tells a childhood nemesis she’s on her honeymoon with Lorenzo, a chef she only met once at her sister’s wedding.

Abi is crazy and fun and everything you want in a bestie. She lives her life doing what she wants and has created a flower business from the ground up, because she loves making flower arrangements.

Lorenzo is a bastard chef who flits from kitchen to kitchen around the world. Originally from Italy, he makes amazing fettuccini that a famous bride to be must have at her wedding, which sends him to Aruba to work on the same wedding as Abi.

Lorenzo is the biker, tatted up, Italian speaking bad boy that women dream about having in bed. He may be this “bastard” chef on the surface, but he’s actually an awesome guy. He’s the sweetest to Abi and he has you saying, “awwww...” practically every time he opens his mouth.

Read this book! You’ll enjoy everything about it. From the vibrator grabbing sex scenes to Jane’s cut a bitch craziness this book is great! Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: My Big Fat Fake Engagement

My Big Fat Fake Engagement by Lauren Landish
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fake romance turned real

Good book! Courtney and Kaede have known each other forever. Kaede is Courtney’s brother’s best friend and business partner. Courtney is heir to Andrews Holdings, a billion dollar company. While look to expand their business, Kaede and Ross sign with an investor, and he infers Kaede should marry his father. Kaede says he’s already engaged to Courtney and the games begin.

Kaede and Courtney are entertaining characters and the story flows well. This is a very enjoyable book. Lauren really did a good job with developing all the characters and keeping them rememberable. The story about the shrimp in the enemy’s apartment grossed me out and made me wish I had a friend who knew such devious plans!

My only criticism of this book is that it starts dragging at about 89%. The climax happens early and the last 11% drags. A few more sex scenes could have kept the story moving a little better at the end.

Overall, this is a good book. The plot is well developed and enjoyable. I definitely think you should give it a go. Happy reading y’all!!
