Review: Hit it and Quit it

Hit it and Quit it by Melynda Price
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Summer has turned her back on her wealthy family in New York and chosen to live in Montana, close to her beloved grandmother until her recent death. No-one in New York knows that she broke off her engagement to her brother's business partner Wyatt when she found him cheating on her in their apartment. Drowning in grief she thinks things can't get any worse, then her house burns down and she forgot to renew the insurance. Effectively homeless she tries to crash at her BFF Autumn's flat but accidentally breaks into the apartment next-door, owned by grumpy marine Calum Moriarty.

Summer's younger brother is having a destination wedding in Maui, and of course Wyatt is his best man and Summer is one of the bridesmaids. It's going to be excruciating and that's before you add in Summer's pushy mother who is desperate for her to get back together with Wyatt and return to New York.

As with all madcap heroines, Summer accidentally lies to her mother, telling her she is engaged and bringing her fiancé to the wedding. Now she just has to find someone!

This was sweet enough, but yawn I've read it all before soooooo many times. Fake fiancé, slimy ex wants her back, pushy mom, keeping the reason for the break-up secret to protect her brother's business partnership, what goes on tour stays on tour romance. This just didn't bring anything new to the table, no side plots, no realistic side characters.

Recommended for an undemanding beach read.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
