There’s a fine line between love and hate . . . And for the last seven years, Natalie Groves has hated Jeremy Walters.

Fast-forward seven years and an internship presents Natalie a chance at her destiny—but she needs a job to work around it. And the only offer available is worse than a life sentence.

When Jeremy and Natalie join forces, sparks fly. But will either of them get burned along the way?

My Thoughts on Love and Other Mistakes:

Love and Other Mistakes is a fast reading cute novel. While it’s a romance it adds other aspects as well that allow for deep thinking.

When I first picked up this book I thought it was just going to be a romance.  A cute story about how this couple finds each other after years apart and a broken engagement.  Then they realize they’re still in love, a few bumps in the road, and they get married.  Cute and sweet mostly.

But instead, I got this book.

It’s. . . wow.

This book is so much more than that.

Here you have this book and yes it’s a romance, but it’s also so much more.  Within the pages of Love and Other Mistakes you’re going to see a single dad, an affair, an out of wedlock pregnancy or two, hidden sins, hard lessons learned, lies, and so much more.  It’s so much more than a romance book and I think you should read it.

I read the book in an afternoon/evening.  It was so good I didn’t want to put it down.  So many twists and turns that I was not expecting and so much good food within the pages.

Have you ever struggled to forgive?  I know I have.  And then I know that forgiving isn’t forgetting as well as forgetting isn’t forgiving are some key things that I’ve thought on before so it’s nice to see a character in a book struggle with this too.  

Definitely a new to me author that I’m now wanting to read more from.  This is one to watch!

I enjoyed watching Natalie come to terms with who she is and who she was created to be versus who she thinks she should be.  She had plans for her life and her future and they didn’t happen.  Now she has a second chance to make those dreams come true.  But can she?  And is it who she truly wants to be after all?

Add in some other hard topics like alcohol, drugs, appearances over truth, lies, and so much more.  I was actually almost shocked at all the hard things that could be written into one book.  Can’t wait to find my next title by this author.

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from JustRead Publicity Tours.
