Real Romance - Review

Review by Marlene Engel

Hot, sexy men, the ones who can make your knees buckle with one look, are who Marie McCloud fantasizes about.  But those men don’t exist in her world.  She knows that they can only be found in the steamy romance novels that she reads.  Maybe that’s why she stayed with Cecil for as long as she did.  He wasn’t like the men she read about with the bulging muscles, hard bodies and even harder … uh hum.  He was average, artistic, safe.  So, you could imagine her surprise when she found a note stating that he was moving to New York with the young barista he worked with. 

Marie is starting to think that no man can be trusted.  So, when David Lake, the sexy optician who helped her with her new glasses but left her unable to see straight, starts pursuing Marie she isn’t sure if she should live out her storybook fantasies with this man or run for the hills.  No matter how much she tries to avoid his advances, he’s persistent in his conquest.  But when red flags keep popping up, Marie starts to think that David may be a little too similar to Cecil and questions their blossoming friendship.  Will Marie find the fairytale romance that she so desperately desires or will David turn out to be another frog in her quest for Prince Charming?

Real Romance is a fun, sexy read.  Being a self-proclaimed romance junkie, I can relate to Marie, her obsession for hot alpha males and the hopes for a fairy tale ending.  Her character is so cute in a book nerd kind of way and the story was just so fun.  This book is a must read for any romance lover!
