All of Me by Leanna Morgan

Rating

Synopsis: What do you do when you want to hide away from life? Apparently, move to Bozeman, Montana--a la Sheldon Cooper. Tess is running from a tragic past, and so is Logan. Will they find peace together or will their inner demons deny them happiness. In helping others, they find hope. Is it enough?

Plot: Tess is a café owner and baker who doesn't like reporters. Logan is a reporter running from post traumatic stress disorder, literally at 4 in the morning every morning. They come together to help out a bride and groom in crisis. They find help with the wedding and much more.

Pacing: It dragged a little at the end, but it was mostly set up for the next several books.

Characters: Everyone was unique and likeable, but the book had a big cast so it was hard keeping track of everyone. It was easiest to identify everybody at the end when the sequels were being set up.

Writing: Average as far as romance novels go, the comedic timing wasn't great, there were no quotable moments from the authors or the characters, but it wasn't full of annoying slang or repetitive words either. Written in third person, so a generic informative author voice is expected.

World: Bozeman, Montana modern day but could have been anywhere.

The Good: Writing, Characters, the food descriptions made my mouth water, it was a cute story, and it was FREE on Amazon, for Kindle right now.

The Bad: Not that much action but it didn't really need that much, and too many subplots tried to make up for the lack of a cohesive main plot.

Recommendations:

Trouble in High Heels by Christina Dodd

She writes a consistently good story. Her characters are very much like Logan and Tess, good vanilla people. I always know I'll enjoy the book when I see her name. She writes mainly historical romance, but this one is modern with great main characters.

Double Trouble by Deborah Cooke

,

Not as well known of a name, but if you like the style of comedy in this book, you'll like her. She writes funny, quirky stories with heartwarming overtones. Above all, this book is Free on Amazon, for the Kindle.
