Searching for Perfect

Searching for Perfect
The Searching For Series Book 2
Jennifer Probst
 Ned Dunkle can't seem to get a girlfriend, yet alone the wife he is so desperately wanting. Between his nerdy personality and his womanizing brother's advice, he is a lost cause. But a chance encounter with one of the owners of the matchmaking agency Kinnections might be just the ticket he needs to find the woman of his dreams. Kennedy looks at Ned as a challenge. But her pet project just might become more than she can handle.

Once again, I've thoroughly enjoyed reading a book by Probst. Her stories are infused with romance, humor, and drama. The nerd turned boyfriend is a well worn plot, but the author pulled out all of the stops to make it seem new and entertaining. While not as prominent, the book of love spells and characters from the first series are in this story as well. It adds a fun element that ties all of her books together. Really looking forward to her next book in this series.
I received this book free of charge from Galley Books in exchange for my honest review.

Love Like the Movies

Love Like the Movies
Victoria Van Tiem

Kensington is in love with love, and her fiance Bradley. But her family is a whole other story. They don't seem to understand her nor do they even try. But Bradley loves her anyway, even if he doesn't understand her love for romantic movies. Everything in the love department is moving along wonderfully until her new client walks into the conference room. It's her ex and he's is out to romance her back through movies, and it might be working.

I'm not always a fan of chick lit, so was a little unsure about this one. But it's hilarious. There is no way that someone is this unlucky in real life, but it was so much fun reading about it. The main character is funny, real, and romantic. The main male character was sweet and romantic. I would have liked to get his POV a bit more, but it was still really good. It had all the key components in the making of a good romance story. I'll definitely read another book by this author.
