In Search of a Love Story by Rachel Schurig

Blurb

Emily Donovan doesn’t have a romantic bone in her body.

At least, that’s what her friends Ryan and Ashley keep telling her. They’re convinced her bad luck with men is directly related to her life-long lack of interest in all things romantic. When Emily’s latest relationship crashes and burns, she decides to go along with her friends’ plans for a romance research project. Sure, the idea that she’ll have better luck if she learns about the great romances of literature and film seems a little silly, but Emily figures it can’t hurt.

In no time at all, Emily finds herself buried under a mountain of romance novels, chick flicks, and sappy love songs, hopeful that her hard work will pay off with true love. When she meets Greg, Ashley and Ryan are convinced she’s found prince charming—after all, he’s rich, handsome, and totally into Emily. What more could she want? And why does it seem that her friend Elliot isn’t exactly happy for her?

Faced with misunderstandings, miscommunications, and a seemingly endless string of missteps, she is nevertheless determined to give true love a try. In doing so, Emily will eventually find that true romance, the kind that lasts, has little to do with stereotypes or clichés, and everything to do with finding out what’s in her own heart.

Review

“So I’m supposed to be looking for a guy who seems kinda like a jerk and fall in love with him, and then forgive him when I find out he was lying to me about another woman?” This is the MC's take on Jane Eyre had me in stitches!

No wonder this free book has lots of good reviews because it's seriously enjoyable. A nice, easy, chick lity read with all the necessary ingredients to make an engaging tale. It's well written too!

Ms Schurig has written a fair few more novels and this appears to be the first in a series, though you would never know it because everything is nicely wrapped with a pink bow, and not a cliff hanger in site. If the quality of writing in this book is typical of the rest of her work, then I'm looking forward to reading more of this lady's stories
