Mr Right Across The Street by Kathryn Freeman #Review

 

I always look forward to a new Kathryn Freeman novel because I love her male characters and this one does not disappoint. Mr Right Across the Street  was published on 22nd January by One More Chapter.  

Mia Abbott’s move to Manchester was supposed to give her time and space from all the disastrous romantic choices she’s made in her past. But then the hot guy who lives opposite – the one who works out every day at exactly 10 a.m., not that Mia has noticed thank-you-very-much – starts leaving notes in his window…for her.

Bar owner Luke Doyle has his own issues to deal with but as he shows Mia the sites of her new city he also shows her what real romance looks like for the first time. And when he cooks up a signature cocktail in her honour, she realises that the man behind the bar is even more enticing than any of his creations. And once she’s had a taste she knows it will never be enough!

My Thoughts

This is a super romcom to put a smile on your face! I loved the simple idea of Mia and Luke communicating across the street through messages in their windows. It has echoes of life in lockdown but also has a nostalgia for a simpler age, before social media and mobile phones.  Both Mia and Luke are complicated characters with past experiences which are still weighing on their mind. Nevertheless, the chemistry zings between them. I loved their banter and one- line messages which said so much.

    You also glimpse the softer side where Luke is concerned, through his friendships, his family and his house rabbit- the reason for which becomes clear. In a way the same goes for Mia and her family. She has huge trust issues where men are concerned but she is still drawn into the bar across the road. She just can't help herself. She is such a refreshing change with her individual style of dress and appearance and her kindness towards her neighbours shines through. This is another great read by Kathryn Freeman. 

In short:Take a fresh look across the street...  

About the Author

A former pharmacist, I'm now a medical writer who also writes romance. Some days a racing heart is a medical condition, others it's the reaction to a sexy hero.

With a husband who asks every Valentine's Day whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), any romance is all in my head. Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.
