Cloudy With a Chance of Marriage - Kieran Kramer


Every woman dreams of saying “I do.” Jilly Jones did—and years of a deeply imperfect marriage followed. Now living in London and working in a charming bookshop, the free-spirited Jilly is perfectly content with her newfound independence…until she meets a dashing naval officer who sparks her longing for a real happily ever after.
Captain Stephen Arrow is just home after years of service, and he’s in no hurry to give up his hard-won freedom. The meddlesome bluestocking Jilly Jones is exactly the kind of woman he doesn’t need…But there’s something about her that keeps drawing Stephen back to the bookshop. With her sparkling wit and understated beauty, she seems like a surprisingly real match for Stephen. But will a scandalous chapter in Jilly’s past stand in the way of their heated attraction? For this bachelor, nothing is impossible…

This is the third book in Kieran Kramer's Impossible Bachelor's Series.  I was an instant fan of Mrs. Kramer and have come to find her books synonymous with a great and enjoyable read.

I instantly felt a connection not only to the main characters but also between them.

Stephen was just wanting to take some time off after spending most of his life in the service of the Royal Navy. And Jilly was trying to escape the horrible marriage she had.

So the two meet up on what most people considered the most unlucky street in London...Dreare Street. What with its excessive fog and ornery residents it was just not seen to be the place in London to be.

So Jilly, because she wants to keep her book shop afloat, decides to hold a street fair and hopefully get the rest of London to see that Dreare street really isn't all that dreary after all.

Stephen agrees to help her because as he spends more time with Jilly he becomes aware that maybe his life after the service was not meant to be spent partying all night but maybe with a family.

Full of fun characters especially Otis Jilly helper and his crazy and outlandish fashion!! I adored this book but only gave it four stars simply because with the part of Jilly and her husband I just felt like something was missing other than that this book was a very enjoyable and funny read.

So if you want to check out a book that will having you laughing (and sighing especially at the thought of Captain Arrow in his dress uniform) then you can get your very own copy here -->Cloudy With A Chance Of Marriage (The Impossible Bachelors)

I'm Still Alive!!

Hi everyone I just wanted to make a really quick blog to let you guys know that I'm still alive and breathing, LOL!

I honestly have just been super busy lately. I was working late at work and then I went out of town for a wedding and then add on top of that the most dreaded thing for those of us who love to read...a slump. Yep I've finished The Hunger Games and even did a video review but for whatever reason just never posted it. So my goal for tonight when I get home and have done my exercise and whatnot I will post that review.

I am happy to say I think I might be out of that ugly slump because today at work (here by myself and the phones were quiet) I was able to read a whole book so I will work on getting that review up in the next couple of days. I will then read the other two books in the Hunger Games Series first it is Catching Fire and then Mockingjay and I'm very excited to read those.

So I just wanted you guys to know that I have not forgotten about this blog and I hope with this slump behind me I can start posting more reviews for you!!

See you later!!
