Just like with Getting Hot with the Scot, I absolutely recommend this book. I was constantly turning the page dying to read what came next. Every chapter was moving the story along and at no time did I feel a lull in what was happening. Their relationship aside, the plot was amazing.

The way her relationship built with Theo slowly and yet passionately was the highlight of this book. She is the type of character where everything she does and says, Melonie Johnson makes you care for her and cheer for her every step of the way. My heart broke for her when she called off her engagement. I had been looking forward to reading this since I first saw Theo and Bonnie interact in Melonie Johnson’s first book in the series, Getting Hot with the Scot. With the help of her adoring friends, and too handsome Brit, Theo Wharton, she is able to open a new chapter in her life when she is given the opportunity to teach at a prestigious university for the summer in London. But when she makes a shocking discovery, she calls off her engagement, shattering the dream she always wanted. This irreverent tale turns several romance tropes on their heads while still delivering that sweet fairy tale ending that readers look for.**I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review** Synopsis:īonnie Blythe has spent the majority of her life planning out the perfect life for herself, from marriage, to house, to kids. The scenes with Bonnie and Theo’s families and sassy, blunt Cassie and Logan are rollicking fun and provide excellent grounding for the romance. As their friendship deepens, Theo helps Bonnie work through her anger at her ex, ensuring their sweet, steamy relationship is more than a rebound. The sexy escapades are a little predictable but still electric, and Theo’s dates with Bonnie around London are the stuff of romantic fantasies.

A serendipitous connection leads to Bonnie landing a summer job in Cambridge, where she teaches Shakespeare, explores new career paths, and romps with Theo. Theo is delighted to learn that Bonnie has broken her engagement with her cheating fiancé and is ready for some changes. Theo Wharton, Duke of Emberton, is in Chicago to meet the woman who is supposed to solve his money problems, but he would rather be with Bonnie Blythe, an English professor and self-professed Anglophile, whom he met when her friend Cassie fell for his friend Logan (in Getting Hot with the Scot). Johnson’s second Sometimes in Love transatlantic contemporary puts a modern twist on the impoverished duke who needs to marry an heiress.
