Smitten by the Brit
A Sometimes in Love Novel
by Melonie Johnson
DEFINITELY, MAYBE...OR LOVE, ACTUALLY?
English professor Bonnie Blythe expects her life to play out like her favorite novels, especially now that her long-term boyfriend has finally proposed. So when a shocking discovery leads Bonnie to end her engagement, she decides to close the book on love. But the plot thickens when a brand-new character enters the scene—and quickens Bonnie's heart.
With his brilliant blue eyes, sexy accent, and irresistible charm, Theo Wharton is like a romantic hero straight out of a Jane Austen novel. When fate places Bonnie in England for a summer—conveniently close to Theo—she realizes a hot friends-with-benefits fling is exactly what she needs to start a fresh chapter. Just as Bonnie begins to believe she's falling in love, an eye-opening revelation into Theo's life makes Bonnie feel like she's wandered into one of her favorite books. Will Bonnie have the courage to risk her heart and turn the page with the dashing Brit to find her true happy ending after all?
Momma Says: 3 stars⭐⭐⭐
Smitten by the Brit is a sweet as sugar story with likable characters and some absolutely hilarious scenes. However, I still came away with mixed feelings. There's some repetition with certain words and phrases that stood out, but most of all, I had a hard time with the romance. And seeing as this is a romance, that can be a problem. Bonnie and Theo are cute together, and they have decent chemistry, but I felt like the story was more about them as individuals than as a couple, and at times it was almost like emotions weren't the most important thing for this pair. In the end, this one was just okay for me. I enjoyed some parts more than others, but it's not something that I'll be remembering in the long term. All in all, it's a cute enough story that would work well for a lazy weekend or beach read.
