Ramble-y Teaserish Stuff
I have had Lynda Renham on my TBR since December 2015 when I first discovered UK Chick Lit. Thanks to Amazon bribing me to rejoin Kindle Unlimited, I'm finally getting to cross at least one of her titles off the list. I was most decidedly not in the mood for any sort of rom-com. Well, maybe the "com" but definitely not the "rom" ... until I started to read the free sample thingie. Before I was done with the first paragraph I thought that maybe I was in the mood after all.
I loved getting to know Libby and Alex, Libby's best friend Issy, her flamboyant boss Jamie, and her far-too-hilarious and unpredictable parents. I did not love Toby or Penelope ... but I'm pretty sure that I wasn't supposed to so another point in favor of Renham. So Renham got all the points, I got the much-needed "com," a "rom" that I adored in spite of not wanting to, a great deal of adventure and intrigue ... and the rest of Renham's books added to my ever-toppling TBR.

Karen, you always seem to come up with new and unique titles; I hadn't heard of this but it sounds like it could be fun! Who likes diets? LOL
Great excerpts! Now I want to read more. Here's mine: “THE FAMILY REMAINS”
I haven't heard of this one before but the excerpts sound really good. I'll have to check it out.
