After Marriage Comes Murder
Long time bachelor Al Little has found a bride thanks to the internet, and he is thrilled that Svetlana is coming to town. Lizzie Hale, owner of the romance bookstore in Tinker’s Cover, Ohio, gets roped into helping make sure their first meeting and their wedding is perfectly romantic. But when Svetlana turns up dead in the middle of the reception, the question becomes, who would want to kill a new comer to town?
This is a strong second book. The plot kept me engaged the entire time. I did guess a couple of plot points early, but there were so many more I didn’t see coming, including the ending. The book is focused on the new characters central to this mystery, and they are all strong. We do have a small core cast of characters who are back, and they are fun. I also enjoy watching Lizzie’s romantic life, which is a great romantic comedy sub-plot. If you are looking for a slight twist on a cozy mystery set up, this is a series you will love.

As a big zac efron fan I was really looking forward to watching this. Unfortunately it was very disappointing. Basically it's about 3 single guys who make a vow to stay single after a string of bad relationships, however, they all soon enter into relationships and try to keep it a secret from one another. I love a good romantic comedy but this failed quite badly, even the scenes between zacs character and the woman he falls for quite tedious, there was very little between them that made me want them together and for a film that's supposed to be a comedy I didn't laugh once. Safe to say I won't be watching it again.

This is the second book in this series by this author. This is a sexy romantic comedy story. This book can be read as a stand alone read or as part of the series. The characters were perfect, the playboy millionaire meets the adorable scientist. This is such a fun read, I just couldn't put this book down till I'd finished it. I can't wait for more from this author.

Not a comedy, but a beautiful drama
This is not a comedy. I repeat this is not a comedy. So if you read reviews saying that it is, they clearly have a very dark sense of humour. This is rather a tragically beautiful drama about writers attempting to make morale-boosting WWII movie which eventually ends up more pro-feminist than expected. The film is being made under perilous circumstances during the blitz, so there is a high casualty turnout. It is a romantic film, but not in the usual situation.
The cast includes some of finest British actors, with brilliant standout performances from Bill Nighy, a brief cameo from Jeremy Irons, Richard E Grant, Sam Clafin (Hunger Games, Me Before You), as well as better than usual performance from Gemma Arterton. I shed a few tears near the end. Hats off for showing women's role during the war effort.

I liked this.
I didn't enjoy it as much as [b:Love to Hate You|38089447|Love to Hate You|Jo Watson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1524974137s/38089447.jpg|59758616] but it was still a pretty cute romantic comedy. I loved how the chemistry between the two very different characters made them determined to overcome those difference and how they're feelings developed.
I also loved the journey through rural Africa and back into urban cities.
I'm looking forward to reading some more books by the author.
