About the Author:

A former pharmacist, I’m now a medical writer who also writes romance. Some days a racing heart is a medical condition, others it’s the reaction to a hunky hero.

With two teenage boys and a husband who asks every Valentine’s Day whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), any romance is all in my head. Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.

Promo Post with Giveaway: Oh Crumbs by Kathryn Freeman @rararesources


Book info:
TitleOh Crumbs  
Author:  Kathryn Freeman
Genre:  Adult contemporary romance
Release Date:  June 12th, 2018
Publisher:  Choc Lit

Synopsis:
Sometimes life just takes the biscuit …
Abby Spencer knows she can come across as an airhead – she talks too much and is a bit of a klutz – but there’s more to her than that. Though she sacrificed her career to help raise her sisters, a job interview at biscuit company Crumbs could finally be her chance to shine. That’s until she hurries in late wearing a shirt covered in rusk crumbs, courtesy of her baby nephew, and trips over her handbag. 

Managing director Douglas Faulkner isn’t sure what to make of Abby Spencer with her Bambi eyes, tousled hair and ability to say more in the half-hour interview than he manages in a day. All he knows is she’s a breath of fresh air and could bring a new lease of life to the stale corporate world of Crumbs. To his life too, if he’d let her. 

But Doug’s harbouring a secret. He’s not the man she thinks he is.

My Review:
There were a lot of sweet moments and funny bits to this story.  Josh's brother Chad, the groom in this story, had a lot of great moments with his brother, you could definitely see the family relationship with them.  Louise's elderly employer also was a hoot, had to love that she wanted to go visit some honky-tonks to fit in to the south where the wedding was taking place, and all the other things her British-ness made her want to experience.  Louise and Maggie, the bride-to-be, also had a fun relationship that made for some good parts in the story.  Towards the end of the story, about three-quarters of the way through, I was able to slip into the story and enjoy it a bit more.  Unfortunately it was kind of hard to get into.  I feel like there was a lot of extra things added in, and sometimes the dialogue or scenes between Josh and Louise felt kind of stilted or awkward.  It made it harder for me to connect and fall into their burgeoning relationship because of that.  Not sure where this fits within the Nashville Connection series, but as this is the only one I've read, there seemed to be a lot of characters to keep straight, and that was hard to do.  Some of them seemed kind of similar, so again, that made it harder for me to get into.  It was a standalone, but I'm guessing that if I'd read the other, I might not have had so much trouble with keeping them all straight.  Also, if you have followed me and read my other romance reviews, you might guess that when this book did the whole fade to black right as the sex scene was really getting going, I was disappointed.  However that may be your cup of tea, and so this might be the perfect story for you.  

I'd recommend for anyone who enjoys a sweet romance, with a bit of drama in the back-story.  You've got a very dedicated man, Josh, who once he decides what he wants, he pretty much goes after Louise, and there is no chance of him cheating on her or treating her wrong.  Louise has her own issues, most of which are dealt with, although that was another part of the story that sometimes felt like it was added on, and took away from me just being in the story.
