Try Right (Aloha Series book 3) by Jill Brashear – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Try Right by Jill Brashear
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable and engaging read with a friends to lovers storyline set in Hawaii in 1968. I was swept away by this descriptive Hawaiian Retro romance which featured great characters in Claudia and Henry. Although part of a series it can be read as a standalone story, however having read and enjoyed this novel I am looking forward to reading the previous two books in the ‘Aloha’ series. Claudia has gone from being one of Hollywood’s most sought after actresses to having a bit part in a tv series, the only good thing about this is that it’s filmed in Hawaii. Hawaii also happens to be where her first love, a heroic surfer, lives and Claudia is keen to track down her long lost love. Claudia asks Henry, a stuntman on set to help her find the surfer, however Henry doesn’t really want to find him as he’s falling in love with Claudia himself.
This is a wonderfully written heartwarming romance story which had me happily turning the pages. The authors descriptive narrative really bought Hawaii in 1968 to life, so much so that I felt fully immersed in the story and could almost feel the Hawaiian heat. Claudia and Henry are likeable and relatable characters who are just meant to be together, but unfortunately Claudia thinks she should be with a surfer she was once in love with. I was cheering them on hoping that they would get their happy ever after and could not put the book down until I had found out whether they did or not. No spoilers, as I recommend reading this novel.
