About the author

Linda Cassidy Lewis believes that life is all about relationships, and her fiction reflects that belief. Indiana born and raised, she now lives with her husband in California, where she writes versions of the stories she held in her head during the years their four sons were growing up. Her home is in the city, so she's thankful for the gift of imagination that whisks her away to sea or mountain or countryside whenever she wishes.

Love & Liability (High Tea & Flip-Flops #2) by Linda Cassidy Lewis is a book I won from the Kindle Scout program. It is not the kind of book I normally read but it looked like it would make a good book so I voted for it. It turned out to be a good book even if it isn't my normal genre. It had great characters, plot, humor sprinkled just right, and romance (this is what I normally don't read). I did enjoy how she wrote this romance. It was a fun read. I am glad I received this book!

I enjoyed this book, a modern day Pride and Prejudice with some Bridgette Jones thrown in. I love the characters of Chelsea and Jeremy and was pleased to see the author penned another book featuring them. They are so different and that's what works. A North American married to a Brit myself, I couldn't help but nod my head and laugh at the misunderstandings and miscommunications. It is often said, we are two nations divided by a common language and the author took full advantage of this. The two main characters are well developed but so are the minor characters. We get to meet Jeremy's interesting family and friends. The book is all about relationships - friends, family and lovers, which Ms Lewis excels at writing about. Part of the book is set in London, one of my favourite cities. There were many laughs but I cried at the end. I won't tell you why, because it will spoil it. You have to read the book yourself to find out. Will there be more books featuring Chelsea and Jeremy? I hope so.

Jeremy doesn't want anything to do with his family, but his fiancee Chelsea is adamant about inviting them to their upcoming wedding. So the two of them embark on a trip to London where Jeremy's family lives. Misunderstandings between Chelsea and Jeremy continue to plague their relationship, but since this is rom-com everything works out in the end. Along the way there are plenty of moments of fun and romance between this opposites attract couple. If you are looking for a fun read, this is the book for you.

Although you can read this book on its own, I recommend reading the first book in the series first. It will show you the chemistry between Chelsea and Jeremy even more than this second book does. This story, though, has its merits. In addition to the mishaps and mayhem that Chelsea causes by her misunderstandings, you get a bit of a tour of England. You'll laugh and cry along with her and Jeremy, and you'll want to slap them both on the side of the head for jumping to conclusions about each other and for keeping secrets and telling lies.

Chelsea is getting married to Jeremy and wants to meet her new in-laws before the wedding. Every time Chelsea mentions it, Jeremy clams up. When Chelsea's mother takes things into her own hands, they find themselves with tickets to Europe to meet the parents. Jeremy has hard feelings toward his parents and Chelsea, as she meets them, begins to understand. Chelsea though, has a tendency to speak her mind even at the most inappropriate times. Jeremy just wants her to be herself. You follow this couple as they work through the issue and toward down the aisle.

Unlike the original book of the series, the characters have reverted to those of 16 year olds desperate to be in a relationship where the only communication is sex and to say they love each other. Annoying and no real resolutions to their issues exist nor do they ever actually communicate. A let down after the first book in the series that was cute and entertaining.

[Lauren · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is no better than the first. If anything, Chelsea is more annoying, and jumps to conclusions faster. Except this time, it puts her engagement in jeopardy. But did I enjoy this book? Yes. Am I going to read the next one even though I know its going to be awful? Umm... yeah.

Chelsea and Jeremy are engaged and living with her single mother in this chick lit sequel. She’s American and he’s British and they write romance novels together. Fun premise. I would’ve liked more about that dynamic. She’s quirky and offbeat and he’s mysterious about his family. So what’s the big secret? She’s about to find out when she and her mother travel to England with him to meet them for the first time. There’s really not much of a story here, although if you’ve read the first book, you’ll want to read this one. This is a light read. I prefer a bit more substance in my chick lit, but this book is fun and I found Chelsea to be the best part. I think more could’ve been done with the story. It’s a bit too predictable and things tie up a little too perfectly. But I guess that’s chick lit. Light and frothy and well written.

Cute

A very cute, quick read for me. Charming and witty. I needed something
light and easy. This is not my typical read, but very enjoyable.

Ohmygod… A Fun Chick-Lit Story

Chelsea is impulsive, speaking without thinking through the ramifications, which gets her in some funny jams. She’s also smart, sweet, a great friend, and fun to hang out with. Her handsome fiancée Jeremy is British, with a stiff upper lip and … you get the picture.

I received the book free through the Kindle Scout program by nominating it. I hadn’t read the first one, so I was afraid I’d be lost. That fear was unfounded. The second book reads great as a standalone novel. I’m going back and reading the first one, so I don’t miss out on Chelsea’s antics.

I don't rate my own books, but I'm proud of them. If this were another author's book, I'd say it's a fun, sexy, and heart-warming read.
