Thank you to Edelweiss and the Publisher for the copy of Hot British Boyfriend .

I really really liked this book. The love story was unbearably sweet and I suddenly wish I could just go to the English country side to study for a bit.

Ellie is a lovely character. I didn't immediately connect with her and I am pretty sure I would not be friends with her would I know her IRL, but the more I learned about her the more endearing she became. The fact that Ellie has a bit of an unusual hobby and can be a bit socially awkward was fantastic and I absolutely loved reading about her spending time making fairy gardens.

I also loved the other characters in this book and kept rooting for everyone to just be happy and have fun. Sometimes I literally wanted to shake Ellie to spend more time with her friends instead of the boy she started dating because their time sounded like SO MUCH MORE FUN. Their outing to London and trip to Italy just made me wish I could embark on adventures myself and even though that is not possible at the moment, reading about it here was the next best thing.

I recommend this to everyone who is looking for an adorable romance, great friendships and fictional trips to all the places you wish you could go to right now.

Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

Everyone! READ. THIS. BOOK.

Excuse my flailing but I absolutely freaking loved this. There is not a single thing about Carmen's story that I didn't love. There is tension, there is romance, there is friendship, there is character development, there is family trauma, there are life lessons. And it's all wonderfully done.

The fact that Carmen has to work as a "Dream" for the summer and dress up as Belle from beauty and the beast for children's parties was just the most endearing thing. I loved her confidence, I loved her attitude and her fight. Carmen is not here to be trifled with. She is a strong, independent female character who has been burned lots of times before and she had enough - understandably. I loved the slow budding romance between her and the Love interest (no spoilers!!). It was so goddamn charming that I kept having to put my book down to be able to properly sigh.

Carmen is also headstrong and knows what she wants, which was absolutely fabulous to witness. The way she solves her problems and doesn't run away from them is absolutely inspiring and I definitely have found a new book for my favourites shelf.

Simply put: This book is a modern fairy tale in which the princess swears and makes the prince work for her.

So. Perfect, really.

Honestly my only complaint at this point is that it was so short. Because it was so charming and delightful!

If this isn’t the perfect Halloween read I don’t Know what is! It is incredibly charming, sexy, intense af (we do love some intensity), the banter is as fun as it’s hot and generally... this is IT, sis. Loved it!
