I received a free copy of this book from Austin MaCauley Publishing company. All opinions are my own.
Amber, Vicky and Melanie are three young, fun-loving girls working on the reception desk at Lockards Construction Company in Bath. They're inseparable, both in and out of work. The wildest of the three, Melanie's life revolves around sex with casual partners. That is, until the owner of a popular local wine bar comes along. Vicky is single and happy to be so, while Amber's love life is turbulent—to say the least. After being engaged to her partner, Phil, for just one day, she discovers, at their engagement party, that he's been doing the dirty on her. She's heartbroken and decides that men are firmly off the agenda for a long time. That is until a series of mishaps bring her closer to her hunky new boss, Tom Tranter. Amber does everything in her power to deny their obviously mutual attraction, but her colleagues are determined to seal their fate. - Amazon.com
I'm not one for romance books, but sometimes I get in the mood for them. Like when I've had my wisdom teeth pulled and I need to finish this book. So I finished this book while I was down and out for surgery and I really did like the book. I thought the book had great character development and the plot was very intriguing. I also thought the pacing was done very well and for the most part the writing was phenomenal. The book managed to hold my interest and I didn't feel forced to read it.
The only flaw I felt the book had was that the book changed POV multiple times and sometimes in the middle of a chapter. I don't really like when books change POV suddenly as it makes it confusing for the reader to follow along. While I didn't have problems with the characters themselves and I felt they each had their own voice, I did get a little confused while reading the book and figuring out "who" I was at any moment.
Verdict: This is a really good romance read and girl power read, but the changing POV does make it very hard to follow along sometimes. Overall, a great read for any romance lover.
