Welcome
at my stop on the ‘Lovefools’ blog tour. I’m really excited to participate in this tour and
I hope you enjoy your stay! 😉

About the Book:

As the great Jane Austen once said,
“We are all fools in love.”

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22573257-lovefools

Twenty-two year old Phinegan Swift is no exception to that rule. In fact, she’s
been accused of being a certifiable lovefool. But she’s proud to wear her heart
on her sleeve and risk it all for love. That is, until her high-powered lawyer
boyfriend betrays her, breaks her heart, and causes her to question everything
she ever believed in.

Devastated by his betrayal, Phin escapes to Costa Rica for a week with her best
gal pal, hoping to give her heart a chance to heal.  Dez—a foul-mouthed, man-eating sex-pot—makes
it her mission to distract Phin from her breakup woes with a healthy dose of
sun, fun,…and Costa Rican man-candy. But the only man who catches Phin’s eye is
a handsome and mysterious stranger she meets at the airport.

Byron is a guy whose angle Phin just can’t figure out. All she knows is that
he’s a thief… First, he tries to steal her luggage. Then, he tries to steals
her massage. Finally, he tries to steal her heart. But Byron has his own
secrets—the real reason he’s in Costa Rica being one of them. When Phin
uncovers his duplicity, she is faced with yet another heartbreak.

Things take a dramatic turn when a ghost from Phin’s past resurfaces to win her
back…or so he claims. Will Phin learn to believe in love again…or will love
play her like a fool?

This book is available at Amazon,  Barnes and Noble, Smashwords and Kobo.

My Review:

 

When I
read the blurb about ‘Lovefools’ it immediately sounded like my kind of book. A
love story based in a beautiful country. What can possible be bad about it?
I
participated in the cover reveal of ‘Lovefools’ at June 24th  and I seriously loved the cover. The cover of ‘Lovefools’
is just very natural and thankfully it fitted this book perfectly. So you can understand
I was very excited to start in this book.
In ‘Lovefools’
we follow Phinegan Swift. Phinegan is heartbroken ever since her boyfriend
broke her heart in a trillion little pieces. Thankfully, Phin has Dez, her best
friend who also happens to be a complete man-eating-sex-addict. Dez is
determined to make Phin forget about her bad ex. But Phin isn’t easily
distracted. That is until she meets Byron. And soon the only thing to get Phin
from thinking about her ex is the extremely handsome Byron. But who is this man?
Byron is
a mystery man who Phin met on the airport. Somehow Phin and Byron keep bumping
into each other and soon Phin finds herself being swept of her feet. But Byron
is keeping secrets and Phin isn’t prepared to get her hard broken all over again.
‘Lovefools’
is the perfect summer-time read. From the first page on I liked this story. It’s
easy to read, funny and there’s a nice dose of friendship and love concealed in
this book. I can totally see myself reading this book with a cocktail in my
hand while lying on a nice beach. But it was also totally worth reading on my
sunny balcony. LOL
Although
this book travels very fast sometimes (I mean there a declarations of love
after the third meeting :|) I still really enjoyed it. I loved the chemistry
between Phin and Byron, and the best friend Dez really made me laugh a lot. In
the beginning of this book there where many times when I wanted to scream at
Phin to not be so damn stupid. Phin was pining over her stupid ex and I really
wanted to smack her in the face. Thankfully Dez was not afraid to open up her
mouth, and she told Phin what I really would like to have said to her if this
was real life.

The one down fall about this book was the length. I
really would have loved to read more about Phin and Byron. This book was just too
short. But at the other hand I don’t think this book would ever be long enough. 

Excerpt:

 

“That saying about love being blind is right. But whoever
came up with that quote forgot to add the part about love making you blind. Not
to mention the painful part about being blindsided by love.
Now that it’d happened to me, I was sure the world would
never look the same to me again.
I used to be a believer in love—real love. That white
knight, fairy-tale, til-the-end-of-time kind of love. But that was before
yesterday, when I got sucker punched by the only thing I’d ever really believed
in.
And now, I didn’t know what to believe in.”
