Bridal Boot Camp

Robbie (Roberta) is co-owner of a gym and runs a ‘wedding season’ class that is a mix of aerobics and yoga for brides to be, and those attending weddings and looking to ‘tone up’ before the event. A bit of a commitment phobe, Robbie’s last ex ran off with her money and jewelry with an exotic dancer in tow, leaving her very anti-relationship, anti-man and anti-happily ever afters despite the fact she’s a devotee of Rom Coms and cries at weddings. A newcomer to class, Deputy Sheriff Ryan is about as right a fit for the Boot Camp as a left foot is in a right shoe. His boss, the sheriff, has told him to take yoga to ‘tone down his aggression’ after mistakenly pulling a taser out on a citizen who was attempting to help his partner Chrissie. Fortunately the incident didn’t result in any harm, or a complaint against Ryan, but his boss was insistent. He’s fit however, but it’s weightlifting fit, and Robbie knows that he’s going to find the class far more than he expected, as he will soon discover she is. As this was my first adult title I’d had opportunity to read from Cabot, I was disappointed in the length (4 chapters) and the speed with which the attraction built and climaxed, although both characters were clearly defined, and showed just how their differing outlooks would make for some interesting moments to come. The preview included in this novella bring us to the impending hurricane that threatens the island, and with questions about Robbie and Ryan, his adorable partner, and the waitress with the ‘sad eyes’ in Bree – I can see I’ll want to read the first book in the series to see where things lead. I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via Edelweiss for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

Good
