BLURB:
Twenty-something, white, South African
Emma Bradshaw has a pattern of falling for unsuitable men and starts a blog
about these so-called “serial datists”. Her search for new beginnings takes her
to Cape Town, where she gets a job working for sexy author, Nick Reynolds.
Romance with her boss is a no-no, but slowly, Nick works his way around her
defenses. Trust him, or not, especially with her awful track record with men?
When an anonymous male reader of the blog
challenges her on her ideas about the male species, Emma realises she must
confront her past and find her true self before she can move forward...and love
can blossom again in her future.
My
Review
I
absolutely loved this book. Emma is a
serious sassy woman who’s sharp wit and tongue portrays her confident nature.
She doesn’t back down from an uncomfortable situation and I enjoyed that
strength in her. She transitioned from
an aloof woman to one who thawed out and made me wish we were friends.
Emma’s
blog posts were amazing and I wished they were real so I could leave comments.
The concept of “serial datists” is interesting. Bzzzz.
I
have had the opportunity to travel to Cape Town, South Africa and Ms. Baxter’s
descriptions of the gorgeous city brought back some wonderful memories which
made me desire to return for another visit.
This
book reminds me a little of Cecilia Ahern’s Love,
Rosie with the correspondence and yet is completely different in style and
content.
I
give The Blog Affair five out five computer shaped chocolate bars and a high
recommendation.
I
purchased the novel from Amazon.
Sounds like an interesting and good read!
ReplyDeleteIt is, Cathy. I really enjoyed. The heroine is snarky yet conservative. She doesn't take anyone's crap, that's for sure.
DeleteHi Nana, sounds like this book was a hit. I'll add it to my TBR list. Thanks for sharing.
