Charm Me

Ohhhh Peter! I thought his first meeting with Lucy was absolutely hilarious. The banter between these two was so fun. Peter is such a surprise since I definitely thought he was going to a bad guy with a redemption arc but instead he’s more like a sheep in wolf’s clothing.

I love this town and this family so much. Lucy is so strong and Harper is the funniest kid around. She kept me laughing so much.

The end was a twist and I can’t see where all of this goes next!

Charm Me is book 2 in Rom-Com series of Cherry Blossom Lake by Tawna Fenske.

Up next is Lucy and Peter’s story of enemies to lovers…and her 12 yr old daughter Harper who sometimes steals the scene! Disgraced and disbarred lawyer Peter becomes a PI and is hired by their Uncle who is suspected of unhanded play against the family. Lucy thinks he is coming on to her to get the low down to clear her uncle…what happens next is a laugh out loud, sexy, mistrustful, messy family, tears and more…

I voluntarily read an ebook advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from the author. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Charm Me is the second book set within the Cherry Blossom Lake Series. The romance reads well alone, but some of the events may be better understood by reading the series in order. Lucy and Peter should be enemies, but neither can resist the pull to one another. As they get to know each other more, they begin to see beyond the facade and walls, but can they trust each other enough to be confident in their love, or will their actions and beliefs continue to land them on opposite sides?

Wow, this book was wonderful! I loved reading Lucy and Peter’s romance! There were so many emotions, so many expressions of love and loyalty, and I adored this book from the beginning to the end. I giggled, I cried, and I swooned! Lucy was such a strong character, so sure of herself and her beliefs, ruthless when it came to protecting her family, and I loved her strength and her vulnerability. Peter, though, man oh man, what a character! I loved that he was equally ruthless, felt like he didn’t have a heart and that Lucy just came in like a wrecking ball, ruining his icy facade. He was passionate, he felt undeserving of love, and while he worked for her enemy, he felt conflicted about what he should be fighting for. And we can’t forget to talk about Lucy’s daughter, Harper, because she was a hoot and added a great dynamic to the storyline, too! You guys, there’s a lot that goes on in this book, a lot of tough decisions that the characters need to make, and times when I was thinking “why are you doing this?!” But it’s all worth it in the end, with some surprising twists and turns and serious gestures and self-reflections. The ending was beautiful to read! I loved this book and I am so excited to see what’s going to happen next in this series!
