I read Lock, Stock and Over a Barrel last month (http://mynoveladdiction.blogspot.ca/2014/02/review-lock-stock-and-over-barrel.html)and just finished the follow-up book...
(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).
(Book 2: Dear Daphne)
written by Melody Carlson
genre: contemporary fiction, christian fiction, romance
3 STARS
Daphne is still looking for a husband in order to fulfill her Aunt's condition of her inheritance. With less than a year left Daphne has to start dating ASAP. She has help in her new Southern neighbour, Sabrina who has moved to town to get away from her ex-husband. While Sabrina pushes Daphne at any and every man, her father and friend, Olivia still want her to date Ricardo, the owner of a local diner. Daphne has been brooding over her aunt's lawyer, Jake who is on vacation with his ex-wife.
While her love life seems to be taking over everything she comes across a young girl who is being raised by her elder sickly grandmother. Daphne inserts herself in Mabel and Vera's life and wonders if adopting a child would trump getting married.
Dating, Dining and Desperation is what I would classify as a middle book in that it carries on from the last book and sets up the next novel. Not a bad light contemporary romance but nothing special. I also do not like the heroine's love interest as it seems forced and I am just not feeling the chemistry.
love,
