Lessons in Love by Melanie Brodie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

First of all, this is essentially a clean romance novel. There are a few light profanities, but most would not even offend the typical reader. There are no bedroom scenes, and so I would say this is appropriate for almost every reader. In addition to this, this book is also a fairly quick, light read.

For me, while this book was fun and light, in some cases, I felt that the story and characterizations were a bit too lean. It is fully evident that the author has a story to tell. The setting and main characters were solid. However, I wish so much that the story had developed a bit more than it had. Notwithstanding, if the reader merely wants a book to pass a cold, winter’s evening where everyone lives happily ever after, this is definitely it. My rating of a 3.5 means that it is about average for this genre, and it will definitely keep the reader entertained for an evening. In fact, a network like Hallmark could easily take this book and turn it into a typical movie for the network.
