Not Your Average Joe

Shower & Shelter Artist Collective, Book 2

By: Brooke St. James

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

What do you do when your best friend calls and says she's getting married in a matter of days on a different continent? You hop on a plane and go to be with her, of course.

Lu Osborne was doing precisely that. She boarded a flight that was headed for Ireland on only a few days' notice despite the fact that she had a lot of irons in the fire.

Other than witnessing a fairytale wedding and maybe doing a little sightseeing, Lu didn't expect anything to come from the trip. She certainly didn't expect to fall in love with her best friend's brother, Joe.

Love this story

Not quite finished with it yet, but I still can leave a review. 1. Love the narrator's accent! Not sure where she is from, but it adds to the story. Slow build in the angst department, great story line. This is the first book by this author for me, but i can see myself reading more.

The love story that everyone wishes for!

This is a sweet love story that everyone wishes was the type that they had. Hopping on a plane to go to your friend's spur of the moment wedding in a foreign country, a good looking rich guy and being offered a rent-free apartment with no strings attached, when all you can afford is the room that comes with your scholarship. These are the things that dreams are made of.. Her Joe is definitely not an Average Joe!

Yup, she did it again

I love these stories.

This one was not as insta-love as her other stories. It was insta-connection, but the relationship went at a more normal pace. Lu is best friends with Sarah. Lu has always crushed on Joe, Sarah’s brother. But Joe doesn’t really notice Lu until Sarah’s wedding.

But after that connection is made, Joe takes every opportunity to spend time with her.

It was super sweet and I really liked Lu a lot.

Sweet

I am really enjoying this series. And the voice actor Kate Rudd does a great job!

Lovely YA romance

Beautiful, sweet, fairy tale love story. Well written, well read, it totally put a smile on my face.

It is definitely YA though. I am not a young adult, so I had to skip ahead a few times to avoid the giggling and adolescent antics (he likes me? he said that? What did he say? tell me what he said. what exactly did he say? you think he likes me?). Other than that, it developed nicely, paced well, and had a good moral message that was shown and not stated. I appreciated that.

Recommended for a feel good escape.
