REVIEW - Crazy Little Thing (Bell Harbor #1) by Tracy Brogan

The Book
Release Date: 27 August 2012
Goodreads Link

Sadie Turner can organize just about anything — except her own life. When her cheating spouse topples Sadie’s impeccably tidy world, she packs up her kids for a summer vacation at her aunt’s lake house, hoping to relax, reboot, and formulate a new plan — one that does not include men. 

Any men. 

But eccentric Aunt Dody has other plans; she’s determined to see Sadie have a little fun—with Desmond, the sexy new neighbor. Tall, tanned, muscular—and even great with her kids, Desmond is Sadie’s worst nightmare. He must have a flaw—he’s a man, after all—so Sadie vows to keep her distance. But as summer blazes on, their attraction ignites, and the life Sadie is trying so hard to simplify only gets more complicated. But maybe a little chaos is just what she needs to get her future, and her dreams of love, back in order.

My Review   3 STARS
Ok, so I am not reading these books in order, but you really don't need too in order to enjoy them.

This is another book that showcases the authors humour, however I did find Sadie whining about her divorce a little too much and I would have loved a little more spice.

Sadie is a divorced mother of two and she has moved down to Bell Harbour for the summer with the kids and is going to be living with her aunt Dodie.  She expects it to be just them, only to find that Dodie's sons Japser and Fontaine will be living there for a while too.

Sadie had forgotten what being in Bell Harbour is like and you really warm to Aunt Dodie and her strange ways.  Jasper is sweet and obviously sweet on his girlfriend and Fontaine is the best gay friend.

Desmond is only in Bell Harbour as a locus as the current doctor is on vacation.  When Dodie has an accident as home and sends Sadie almost right next door for the doctor, Sadie meets face to face a man that her and Fontaine has been boggling on the beach running for a while.

Des is constantly in their lives after that and has an obvious interest in the family and gets on well with her children.

I did enjoy this book and it was nice seeing so much of Dodie as I had read about her in the other books.  Certainly worth going back for.
