Review of Me & Mr. Just Right by Kaylee Baldwin
A famous singer fleeing the spotlight, a photographer with a secret, and a hot summer on a deserted island. What could go wrong?
What’s a famous singer to do when her ex betrays her, steals all her songs, and makes up lies for the media to salivate over?
Escape to a deserted Alaskan island.
Key word: deserted .
Turns
out the island isn’t as deserted as Aurelia Halifax has been led to
believe, and she’s surprised by the arrival of the three insanely hot,
nineties rom-com quoting Forrester brothers—who are less than happy to
discover her there. And when an unexpected summer storm hits, they’re
stranded together until it passes.
Which doesn’t sound so bad,
except the oldest brother, Haydn, is a photographer—exactly the kind of
person she’s trying to avoid. Before she knows it, she’s telling them
her name is Lia and hiding her fame behind extra-large hoodies and
waterproof boots.
When Haydn’s stomach-swirling smiles (and
kisses) start inspiring lyrics she never thought she’d write again, and,
worse, feelings she never thought she’d feel again, she knows she has
to tell him the truth before they leave the island behind. But trusting
doesn’t come easy to Lia, especially when she learns that Haydn may be
behind her biggest betrayal of all.
First of all, this book was a bit of a Goldilocks and the Three Bears retelling. I'm not sure I've ever read a retelling of that tale before, but it was interesting to see it turned into a contemporary romance. Unexpected (even though the title probably should have tipped me off), but fun.
The story behind this beautiful cover is a Hallmark-like tale of a famous musician, our female lead, in a serious tailspin in her life. The poor girl needed a hug and three boxes of chocolate desperately. Instead, due to some purposeful miscommunications, she finds herself with an island and three brothers she has to share it with. Jules was definitely my favorite of the three brothers, but I loved the chemistry between Lia and Haydn. It's a fun, breezy story just like the cover suggests (and deserves).
Note to more sensitive readers: I don't recall anything objectionable.
