Fresh Brewed by Pamela Ford - Review and Giveaway

I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review

Published: June 14, 2016

Number of pages: 290

Genre: Romance

Series: The Continental Breakfast Club #2

Synopsis:

Breanna Mitchell is on her way to a relaxing vacation at the ocean. Maybe she'll even have a beachside fling to help her get over a recent breakup. But when a tropical storm makes her destination hotel uninhabitable, a chance encounter at continental breakfast delivers a fabulous option—with a catch.

She and her friends can stay at a privately-owned, three-story oceanfront home—if she pretends to be the girlfriend of the owner's heartbreaker grandson, Ethan. Since he won't even be there, how hard could it be?

Everything is going swimmingly until Bree drinks too much wine and regales the family with romantic tales about her relationship with Ethan. His adorable brother Adam gets suspicious. His marriage-minded grandma gets engagement fever. The beautiful woman next door gets teary-eyed.

And then, Ethan unexpectedly arrives. Suddenly Bree is about to get everything she's ever wished for—but is it what she really wants?

My thoughts:

This is the second book in a fun series. I have fallen in love with these characters as they are such fun to be around. It is like spending the day with your best friends when you are reading this story. This time we get to go on a trip with the friends to find love outside of where they live. But this does not seem like such a good idea when a tropical storm messes things up. But these girls are not to be stopped and continue on in their fun adventures. To only have been a fly on the wall to see the faces of Ethan's family the night Bree gets drunk and starts telling tales. The looks must have been priceless. The author did a good job with describing everything in this story so you can get a good picture of all the antics. Everyone wishes they had friends like this that can help each other find love. I am looking forward to the next book in this series and to see where they seek out love nest.
