About this listen
What do you do when your best friend calls and says she's getting married in a matter of days on a different continent? You hop on a plane and go to be with her, of course.
Lu Osborne was doing precisely that. She boarded a flight that was headed for Ireland on only a few days' notice despite the fact that she had a lot of irons in the fire.
Other than witnessing a fairytale wedding and maybe doing a little sightseeing, Lu didn't expect anything to come from the trip. She certainly didn't expect to fall in love with her best friend's brother, Joe.

Story
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Sarah Spicer took this saying to heart, at least where love was concerned. She had given up any hope in ever finding a decent man. She was convinced they had only one thing on their minds and were untrustworthy and unfit for relationships. This was exactly why she had a strict no-dating policy. That was before she met Collin Ross.

Story
I knew the Blair brothers. It was impossible to grow up in Astoria and not be familiar with them. There were four boys in the Blair family, and all of them had that certain something. They were smart, athletic, funny, and gorgeous. If I was forced to pick my favorite, it would have to be Henry. He was the wild one of the bunch - a rock star.

Story
I always wanted to live at the beach. It had been my dream since I was a little girl. I longed to experience the sand and sea. My heart's desire was to become a famous artist who painted scenes with palm trees and blue waters. Finally, I was moving to a coastal town. It was only three hours from where I grew up, but it might as well have been paradise with how excited I was. My sister was coming with me, except she didn't care about painting palm trees and beach scenes. She was only in it for the shirtless guys.

Hockey star Max Yearwood was everything I needed at the time - fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months, since he’d signed with a new team 3,000 miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

When Dani gets a flat tire on her way home one evening, she is, at first, less than thrilled to be helped out by a man that is clearly too charming for his own good. Even if he is handsome. And buff.

Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers learned early that the rich are not to be trusted. And after years of studying them from behind the cash register of her mom's porcelain-doll shop, she has seen nothing to prove otherwise. Enter Xander Spence-he's tall, handsome, and oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and the fact that he seems to be one of the first people who actually gets her, she's smart enough to know that his interest won't last.

Yup, she did it again
I love these stories.
This one was not as insta-love as her other stories. It was insta-connection, but the relationship went at a more normal pace. Lu is best friends with Sarah. Lu has always crushed on Joe, Sarah’s brother. But Joe doesn’t really notice Lu until Sarah’s wedding.
But after that connection is made, Joe takes every opportunity to spend time with her.
It was super sweet and I really liked Lu a lot.

Love this story
Not quite finished with it yet, but I still can leave a review. 1. Love the narrator's accent! Not sure where she is from, but it adds to the story. Slow build in the angst department, great story line. This is the first book by this author for me, but i can see myself reading more.

The love story that everyone wishes for!
This is a sweet love story that everyone wishes was the type that they had. Hopping on a plane to go to your friend's spur of the moment wedding in a foreign country, a good looking rich guy and being offered a rent-free apartment with no strings attached, when all you can afford is the room that comes with your scholarship. These are the things that dreams are made of.. Her Joe is definitely not an Average Joe!

Lovely YA romance
Beautiful, sweet, fairy tale love story. Well written, well read, it totally put a smile on my face.
It is definitely YA though. I am not a young adult, so I had to skip ahead a few times to avoid the giggling and adolescent antics (he likes me? he said that? What did he say? tell me what he said. what exactly did he say? you think he likes me?). Other than that, it developed nicely, paced well, and had a good moral message that was shown and not stated. I appreciated that.
Recommended for a feel good escape.

not as good :(
After reading the first book in this series I was really excited for this one. Unfortunately I was left feeling underwhelmed. There were no highs or lows.
