Love Notes by Aimee Brown #Review

Today I have a romcom on the blog, Love Notes, by Aimee Brown, which was published on 23rd March by Boldwood Books. 

 
Mercy Alexander doesnā€™t believe in love, let alone love at first sight.

Thereā€™s one sure fire way of steering clear of heartbreak, and thatā€™s not to get your heart involved in the first place. So what is that irritating flutter she feels every time she sees Brooks Hudson, and why is she finding him so hard to ignore?

Brooks Hudson canā€™t understand where heā€™s going wrong.

Doting single father to six-year-old Ali, supportive co-parent with his ex, much-loved friend and respected colleague, not to mention heā€™s smoking hot. So why is he constantly being dumped, told in no uncertain terms heā€™s ā€˜too niceā€™? Since when was being nice a crime?

Mercy is in serious need of someone to restore her faith in men, and Brooks needs a girl he likes to stick around long enough for him to believe in love again.  But when Mercyā€™s past threatens to remind her of everything sheā€™s scared of, will love be enough to save the day?


            My Thoughts

 This is very much a character driven story and both Mercy and Brooks turn out to be fairly complicated people, with eventful back stories. As you find out, their pasts lead them to some common links and add to your feeling that they are  fated to meet up. Mercy has put up solid walls around her feelings and is confused by her reaction to Brooks. Brooks is looking for some stability and you get to see his driving forces when he is with his family.

    There are some comic parts of the story. Brook's first wife adds to the humour as do  Mercy's friends. This is a fun, light read which has a heart-warming side. Despite Mercy's background, there is hope that she will allow herself to trust . Although the story is a standalone, the characters feature in other stories by the author and River is the next to feature.


In short: Can love beat down Mercy's defences?
