Love In Tandem by Becca Kinzer

 Love in Tandem


Charlotte Carter is ready for summer. She has been happily living in her hometown and teaching music for the past year. After her failed engagement, her mother's cancer journey and some other family challenges, Charlotte is ready for summer break.

Zach Bryant is back in his hometown for his brother's wedding. His last job didn't work out and he is looking for a new one.

The wedding rehearsal dinner for Zach's brother's is held at a nearby cake shop. Charlotte's sister, Sophia, sends Charlotte to the cake shop on an important errand unbeknownst to her that this is where the rehearsal dinner is being held. Charlotte and Zach run into each other and that is when the fun begins. I especially loved this part and all of the zany events with the wedding and reception. The biggest thing to come out of that day is that Zach and Charlotte agreed to tandem bike a lot of miles to help save Charlotte's music department job and help her parents financially with a cancer re-occurrence they think her mom has. Can they do it?

Love in Tandem by Becca Kinzer is a fun, clean rom-com book. It kept me laughing and giggling a lot right through the first half of the book. I liked Zach and Charlotte and was pulling for them. I also enjoyed the supporting character family members.

The last half of the Love in Tandem was a little less humorous and had some serious elements to it--but I did pull for Zach and Charlotte. There were some serious conversations and issues the couple needed to work out. I really wanted to see them complete the bike trip so I rooted for them through to the end. Not everything worked out completely in their favor.  There were a few twists and turns that the reader doesn't see coming. I did enjoy the romance. However, I think some Christian readers wouldn't like how the sleeping arrangements went down, even though nothing happened. I did like that both Zach and Charlotte made some strides in their faith and in their personal struggles as the book wrapped up. That all seemed true to life to me. As a whole, I enjoyed Love in Tandem and read it quickly.

I would add that I am a sucker for a good cover, so liked the cute cover for Love in Tandem and thought it fit the book well.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Interviews and Reviews. All opinions are my own.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader.

There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
