RRR presents... You've Got This! by Maxine Morrey - REVIEW!


Back again with another FABULOUS find, on tour now with Rachel's Random Resources! It's the latest from prolific author Maxine Morrey and, I gotta say, I really loved it! Let's get between the ecovers as we take a closer look at today's blog tour guest and ebook of choice...


You've Got This!
by
Maxine Morrey

About the book...
To find true love, first you have to truly love yourself… 

Fleur French does not have the best of luck when it comes to life and love, and her current boyfriend Jasper is yet another person who only seems to like Fleur when she moulds herself into his idea of the perfect partner. So, when she finds herself single, jobless and homeless, Fleur has to decide if she’s ready to finally be herself – if only she knew who that was. 

Matt Morgan saw things he’ll never forget when he was deployed in the military, but now back home in Wales, the recuperative powers of the stunning countryside are working their magic. And when Fleur takes a job at his mother’s hotel, Matt senses she could benefit from that same magic – if only Fleur realised it too. 

It’s hard to be yourself, when you’ve never felt you quite fitted in. But with new days come new opportunities, and as Fleur begins to flourish and find out who she really is, her luck in love might be about to change too. 





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Omg!
I was invested in this one from the word go. 

After meeting Fleur and the terrible a**hat that was Jasper, seeing the way he treated her, learning how her past romantic choices turned out, and hearing about her childhood, this poor dear was due for some good luck! Good luck in this case isn't a lady, but a man! Oh but this isn't any man.... this is Matt, and while I'm not fond of the name, I'll make an exception in this case because he is the total package. 

He's kind, but not patronizing. He's protective, but not possessive. He's got a family that's there for him with the biggest hearts you've ever seen, but they're not afraid to tell him like it is, while still catching him if he falls.  That's not something Fleur has always had, except with her bestie for life, so fitting the hole she saw in other people's lives was her default setting...but Matt won't let her settle there. He pushes her to find herself, while still supporting her as needed along the way. Fleur grows in leaps and bounds, and is far from the fragile woman from the spectacle in the hotel dining room when all is said and done. She may have lost her way, but she truly did HAVE this when all was said and done. 

A delightful read with a potential couple to be you'll be rooting for the whole book through. It reminds us there are good things in life, and good people, if only we take a moment to really look around.

My Year of Saying No
by

Boldwood Books

About the book...
Lottie Wentworth has never been more pleased to hear Big Ben ring in the new year and wave goodbye to The Year of Saying Yes!

When a long-term relationship ended, her best friend’s scheme to get Lottie back in the swing of things seemed like a good idea. She’s kept her promise to Jess to see it through but, as a lover of the quiet life, Lottie couldn’t be happier to say hello to a brand new year – The Year of Saying No!

Unfortunately, the one thing she still seems unable to say no to is the crush she has on her best client and now friend, Army veteran, Seb Marshall. But she’s working on it, and with rescue dog Humphrey at her side, she knows that she’ll manage just fine.

Lottie’s decision to stop trying to please everyone has brought a sense of relief beyond what she had expected. Her actions and determination have also begun to send ripples throughout her life and those closest to her, bringing about changes none of them could have expected.

But will all those changes be for the good?



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This is definitely a slow burning romance filled with laughs to boot.  Lottie is a dear and after one too many bad date stories from her past, I totally get why she'd right off finding love for her career toot suite.  Funny thing about love though...it often finds us when we're least expecting.  Enter the object of her noteworthy crush, Seb Marshall.  Seb isn't only easy on the eyes.  He's intelligent without being obnoxious.  He's funny without being crass.  He's a gentleman without wanting to chain a woman to the kitchen in order for his meal to be ready every night upon his arrival.  He's chivalrous, kind, and an all around great guy...who also happens to be her BIGGEST client.  Good thing we all know that business and pleasure don't mix well, right?  Right...about that...

6 Things Everyone Should Know If They Have A Crush On Someone

I gotta hand it to her, she stuck to her guns!  Lottie harbored that crush like Fort Knox harbors currency, and there was nothing that could break down her defensive walls.  Nope.  Not a thing...or so she thought.  In any case, she still held strong...almost to the point of TOO strong for her own good...and with those morals held at high standards, the obstacles that presented themselves as things seemed to slowly progress were somewhat a surprise.  Yep...imagine that.  The road to love not being the smoothest...who'd have thought!  (LOL!)  Thing is these hurdles were self made and not just by her, but by him.  He had his reasons, and whereas I could see his point in some of them, others...not so much.  Let's just say that Seb...you're a really lucky guy to have a girl go out on a limb for you not just once, but twice over!

In the end, it provided the happy ending we were after with only tender tears to shed.  You'll be rooting for the love connections throughout the story, while also shedding a few pounds laughing at their antics and banter.  A definite must read to get you out of your head space whether you're a part of the self-quarantine crowd or one of the many essential workers out on the front lines.
