Whao!!! I LOVED Natural Born Charmer. Ironically, it took me a longer time to read than the others (blame it on the work), but I think it was fantastic. The main couple: Dean and Blue have fantastic chemistry and they just made me laugh with their bickering. They both have their issues (and pretty darn big issues too), but they grow throughout the book and their challenges are quite realistic. Their plot doesn't involve some third party threatening to destroy the peace. No. Their plot was all about getting to know themselves, their challenges, their dreams, and overcoming them. A+ for both.
The side stories:
- Nita is the best. She reminds me so much of my own grandma that I'd like to go over and give my grandma a hug, just for the sake of it. Typical rough-edged old lady with a heart of gold. Totally worth reading about her and her plots. Go Nita!
- Jack and April: Awesomeness. I can't give too many details without ultimately spoiling the story, but I'll just say that I loved them both. Jack is amazing. Especially when he's around Blue and Nita.
- Riley: You go, kid! Talk about being a teenager with issues, but learning how to overcome them and stand up to the world. It's not easy finding the courage to do what's right, especially if you've been misled most of your life. That's why Riley finding her voice and expressing it (there's a double entendre to this, which you'll understand if you read the book) is that much more important and heart-warming.
All in all. Totally recommend it.
