Charlie unfortunately shares the same name as Charlotte Lucas, the secondary spinster character from P&P who settles for Mr. Collins. At 26, Charlie’s worried she’ll end up like her namesake. After all, everything in her life seems just average. From her mundane job at the bank to her cheating ex boyfriend, Charlie seems to think she’s destined for the practical. When she attends a charity ball as a favor to her neighbor and the blind date is the incarnate of Mr. Darcy, Charlie doubts whether he could fall for someone like her.
Liam Connell has his own problems trying to raise his teenage brother on his own and keeping his company and charity endeavors going. He’s attracted to Charlotte’s quick wit and down to earth, self sacrificing personality. Convincing Charlie he cares for her proves difficult when she constantly compares herself to his gorgeous movie star ex. His grand gesture to prove his love and genuine admiration has the potential to win her heart or backfire terribly. Will he succeed in convincing Charlie of her true talents and worth or drive her away?
Oh my, Liam is my favorite! He’s such a patient, sweet, witty guy. He genuinely cares about Charlie and wants to get to know her better. I loved their flirty texts. At times, Charlie’s insecurities and self-doubt drove me nuts. It isn’t until near the end that we find out why she’s afraid to paint and why she thinks she has to settle for less. Hang in there with her if you get frustrated because there is an explanation and the ending is satisfying.
Andy, the ex boyfriend is the worst. He’s one of those egotistical guys you just want to see get their comeuppance. I loved Vera, Liam’s grandmother and Charlie’s friend Beth. I think it would be fun to have a spinoff story of Beth meeting movie-star Rhett Meyers whom she obsesses over throughout the book.
If you love Pride and Prejudice and/or enjoy sweet, clean romcoms, you should give this book a try! I received an advanced complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own and I was not required to provide a positive review. ( )
