Love Between the Lines by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Erica Shoebridge

Love Between the Lines by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Love Between the Lines is an easy breezy romance written in a relatable voice. Brazeau sketches her characters with ease, and in such a way that I feel like I knew them almost immediately. I particularly liked the protagonists bestie, quirky and brazen Iris, as well as her sister Lucy, she of polished fashion and sky-high heels. Together, they are the family we all want – infinitely supportive and generous to our heroine Marlowe. They nudge her to move out of her comfort zone and actively seek out the love (and sex!) that she needs.
While I loved these two, and how they played off of each other, I found Marlowe to be utterly clueless. Even when a man is pursuing her, and telling her to her face that he has a crush on her, she still lays about wondering if he wants to go out with her. I know that people sometimes have trouble recognizing the “signs” of attraction, or let their own self-doubt get in the way, but her hero was very frank and honest with her about how he felt, and she still needed the infinite nudging of her friends to believe him. The plot was easy to read, but also a bit formulaic for my tastes.
Overall, romance fans will likely enjoy this work. Brazeau has a great style of writing which makes it easy to dive into Love Between the Lines.
