Welcome to the Beach Reads Book Club…where love is just a page away…
When Lottie Watt is
unceremoniously booted out of her uptight book club for not following the
rules, she decides to throw the rulebook out the window and start her own club
– one where conversation, gin and cake take precedent over actually having read
the book!
The Beach Reads Book
Club soon finds a home for its meetings at Books by the Bay, a charming
bookshop and café owned by gorgeous, brooding Matthew Steele, and as the book
club picks heat up, so too does the attraction between Matt and Lottie.
If there’s anything
Lottie has learned from the romances she’s been reading, it’s that the greatest
loves are the ones hardest earned.
A love letter to
chicklit, romance, romcoms, whatever you want to call them!

For book lovers and readers of all kinds, here we have a dream
book – a wonderful romantic tale that really does celebrate books, book clubs
and genres that do not get the true recognition they deserve.
I loved the book club in this book and wish I could be part of it;
I also enjoyed the fact they talked about books and authors I love.
Lottie is a girl with gumption, and I think she’s absolutely
brill. Bored of the stuffy book club lead by the seemingly miserable and stuffy
Eve, she decides to start her own. Returning a book to the local book shop, she
meets the new owner and slowly but surely a plan is formed!
Such a lovely compliment of characters, the book club members form
a great friendship and that is a key part of the story – how much they help and
support each other in difficult circumstances.
Matt is the new owner of the book shop, determined to keep his
family together following a loss, he has his work cut out to make everyone
happy. He is smart, well mannered, and not exactly in his comfort zone. Matt
has built up his defences, but I knew from the start Lottie could be the one to
break them down.
A lovely romance, their budding friendship and relationship grew
on me the more I read. Is it predictable and cute? Yes – nothing wrong with
that at all. Isn’t that the point of the book club anyway…
It’s well written, funny and entertaining (Audrey is so funny!)
but it has a little drama; nothing ever runs smoothly does it!
Highly recommended for book fans and romance lovers. Perfect
summer read!
With a husband who asks every Valentine's Day
whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), any romance is all in my head.
Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always
about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.
