ISBN: B08818VSYR
Goodreads Rating: 4.00
The cozy comforts of an English village bookstore open up a world of new possibilities for Evie Starling in this charming new romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young. At thirty-three-years old Evangeline Starling's life in Chicago is missing that special something. And when she's passed over for promotion at work, Evie realizes she needs to make a change. Some time away to regain perspective might be just the thing. In a burst of impulsivity, she plans a holiday in a quaint English village. The holiday package comes with a temporary position at Much Ado About Books, the bookstore located beneath her rental apartment. There's no better dream vacation for the bookish Evie, a life-long Shakespeare lover. Not only is Evie swept up in running the delightful store as soon as she arrives, she's drawn into the lives, loves and drama of the friendly villagers. Including Roane Robson, the charismatic and sexy farmer who tempts Evie every day with his friendly flirtations. Evie is determined to keep him at bay because a holiday romance can only end in heartbreak, right? But Evie can't deny their connection and longs to trust in her handsome farmer that their whirlwind romance could turn in to the forever kind of love.

Those who know me, already know I’m a big Samantha Young fan. I love all her books, and I’ve read a lot of them these last few years. And now I’m lucky enough to be on her ARC team. So when I received the ARC for ‘Much Ado About You’ I got super excited and started reading as soon as I could.

In ‘Much Ado About You’ we meet thirty three year old Evie. Evie is done with men and dating, after her last date disaster. And when she doesn’t get the job offer she worked so hard for, she decides it’s time to get away for a while. So when she looks up possible trips to England, and sees the opportunity of a life time: an apartment for four weeks including running a small town bookstore, she can’t resist and books immediately. Soon Evie is in England, and she instantly loves the little town and it’s residents. And especially Roane Robson, the handsome farmer she meets soon after arriving and who makes everything more fun.

This book was something else, really! I mean Roane Robson.. OMG!! That guy ruined me!! From the moment Evie met Roane, I simple loved that guy. He was handsome, honest, fun and caring. And although he knew he is a handsome guy, he really doesn’t want people to be interested in him just for his looks. And right from the moment he meets Evie, it’s clear he likes her. And I loved reading how he did his best, to make Evie like him too.

And yes, I also loved Evie’s character. I would definitely like to be friends with her. She loves books, loves Shakespeare, and is now running a bookstore. As a reader and book blogger.. What’s not to like about her? And don’t even get me started about the chemistry between Evie and Roane! It was definitely something you could feel coming of the pages. And I loved every slow burning moment between them.

This book was 380 pages long, and I read it in only a day. I read way past my bed time, because I just couldn’t put it down. I loved the main characters, I loved the small England town and it’s residents and I loved the whole idea of this Much Ado About Books bookstore. And can you believe there is such a Bookstore/apartment renting concept in Scotland? I loved that Samantha was inspired by that bookstore, and wrote this beauty of a book.

‘Much Ado About You’ is a great romantic, entertaining, fun read I loved from start to finish. And I’d really recommend it!!
