Review: Suddenly in Love

✩✩✩✩

Mia Lassiter is thrilled to finally put her artistic skills to use working for her aunt’s interior design shop in her hometown of East Beach. While renovating an old mansion overlooking stunning Lake Haven, she encounters a scruffy but attractive man named Brennan—the owner’s son. She doesn’t realize this sexy recluse is actually Everett Alden, the world-famous rock star in hiding who’s nursing his own artistic and personal crises.

As their personalities clash, tension simmers between the struggling artist and jaded musician, and their time spent alone together in the gorgeous old house only serves to turn up the heat. Soon, Mia and Brennan’s creative passions boil over to inspire passions of another kind…

But reality comes crashing in when Mia’s celeb-obsessed cousin discovers Brennan’s true identity—and reveals it to the world. As paparazzi swarm the mansion, Brennan is thrust back into his rock star lifestyle. Will Mia lose her soul mate just when she’s finally found him? Can their love survive the glaring spotlight?

Review: Suddenly in Love is book one in the Lake Haven series by Julia London and I think it's a great start to the series.

Although I didn't find it out-of-this-world amazing and there were a few slow moving parts in the story, I loved both Mia and Brennan as main characters and I loved the flow of their relationship.

I wish we had more insight on some of the secondary characters, especially from Mia's extended family (which, in fact, is so extended I got lost somewhere along the way) and I wish Mia had been more assertive in the end about what she really wanted.

In any case, it's a pretty pleasant story and will amount for a few well spent hours. I plan to check out the following books in the series soon.

Happy readings,
