REVIEW - British Bedmate (A Series of Standalone Novels #5) by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland


The Book
Release Date: 18 September 2017

Please note: This book was previously published as Dear Bridget I Want You. Only the title and cover have been changed. All other content remains the same.

From the New York Times Bestselling authors of Stuck-Up Suit and Mister Moneybags, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

Dear Bridget,
I’m writing this letter because it’s highly doubtful I’ll ever garner the courage to say this to your face.
So, here goes.
We’re totally wrong for each other. You’re the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I’m just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England.
But here’s the thing… for some bloody reason, I can’t stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways. 
I want you.
The only reason I’m even admitting all of this to you right now is because I don’t believe it’s one-sided. I notice your eyes when you look at me, too. And as crass as I appear when we’re joking around about sex, my attraction to you is not a joke. 
So, what’s the purpose of this note? I guess it’s a reminder that we’re adults, that sex is healthy and natural, and that you can find me just through the door past the kitchen. More specifically, it’s to let you know that I’m leaving said door cracked open from now on in case you’d fancy a British bedmate in the middle of the night sometime. 
No questions asked. 
Think about it. 
Or don’t. 
Whatever you choose.
It’s doubtful I’ll even end up sliding this letter under your door anyway. 
--Simon

My Review  5 STARS
This book has been sitting on my kindle for nearly a year and i am now seriously kicking myself for having waited so long for having taken so long to get round to reading it.

Being English myself I didn't spot any errors in the way that Simon was portrayed, in fact it made the story that much better as i could identify with him a little better with the way he talked.

I often found myself laughing out loud while reading this, from the way Simon teased and talked to Bridget, to the way they reacted with each other.  I loved how Simon always stepped up to help Bridget and her son, even though he did not want to get attached.

The writing was seemlessly brilliant, the struggles real and the work at the relationship and the realisations brilliant.

I certainly hope to read more from this collaborative duo!
