Book Review + Kindle Giveaway!

I love giveaways. I really, really do! This one is for all you bookworms out there: an Amazon Kindle paperwhite! I've wanted one of these babies for a pretty long time, so it's safe to say I'm extremely jealous! But this isn't just a giveaway, I'm also here to chat about my love of books and a fabulous new author I've discovered!

Truth be told, I haven't read a book for pleasure in a really long time. In elementary and middle school I used to read all the time--I couldn't get enough! But once I got to high school and college, the required reading lists got longer and I lost pretty much all interest. Once I got the opportunity to join this giveaway and read a free book I jumped at it! I haven't read some good old chick-lit in a while, and I was seriously missing it!

The book I read is called "The Reluctant Wedding Planner," by Eva Scott. Before I talk about the book, you should all go learn more about Eva and her books! Truth be told, I had never heard of her before this review, but she's an amazing writer! Also, she's Australian so that automatically makes her awesome.

Here's the basics of the story from the publishers website, I'll try not to spoil it too much for you!

Dr Camden James is a rural vet, not a wedding planner, so he quickly feels out of his depth when, in a fit of generosity, he offers to glam up his sister's budget wedding in a secret move designed to surprise her. With only six weeks to make this the wedding of his sister's dreams he needs to move fast.
Stumbling around in the largely female world of weddings he gets a lead on the go-to girl for wedding flowers - Georgiana Mac Intyre. Georgi, reeling from a very public breakup, is not interested in men in anyway shape or form. Not even super-cute vets - even when they are clearly interested in her.
Cam shamelessly uses his story to get her to help. It has all the elements; romance against the odds, true love, orphans (you can't have good story without an orphan or two), and a bride.

In short: I really liked this story! It's a quick and easy read which is great, because I have a short attention span when it comes to reading. That being said, it did feel like the story was a bit rushed at times, so maybe it could have been a little longer. Other than that, it's a charming love story (definitely a better love story than Twilight). It gets kind of cheesy at certain points, but hey, that's exactly what I want in my romance novels. I liked that the novel was written in two different points of view. It alternates between the two main characters (Cam and Georgi) and I loved hearing the story from both of them, rather than just one.

But that's not all--we still have a giveaway! One lucky reader will win a Kindle Paperwhite! Did I mention that I'm extremely jealous? This giveaway is open internationally, and you'll also receive one of Eva's books to read! Enter below:
