My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I am a huge fan of romantic comedy chick lit books and I absolutely adored this story! It made me laugh and it made me swoon – something for me every book in this genre should do (in my opinion!!) I loved the author’s writing style, it was really relaxed and I thought the story had a lovely flow to it. The author has penned an amazing debut novel!
I loved Liberty – she was such a joy to read about – and I will admit the fact she loves shoes so meant I could live my love for shoes through her! I also may have had a little crush on Detective Harper!! *swoon*
I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. Anybody who loves a good, well written, chick-lit story should absolutely one click Best Foot Forward today!!

Best Foot Forward by Bea Stevens is the first book in the Liberty Lawrence series. This book is fun and entertaining, with great characters and a full packed story line.
I knew I would enjoy this book right from the start because I found it so easy to fall in love with Libby. She was such a fun character that she immediately appealed to me. She helped to keep the book light hearted but also engaging from start to finish.
Bea Stevens is a relatively new author to me and yet I have come to expect well written books each and every time. This is clearly the start of a great news series and I cannot wait to read more.

Best Food Forward by Bea Stevens a four-star read that will surprise you. This is the first book in the Liberty Lawrence series, and what a charming and funny start to what I am sure will be a great series. Tis was a good whodunit but to add the twist Libby knows who’s donnit she just can’t prove it, it’s just the hunky detective that throws a spanner in the works and when a man is as hunky as detective Harper you sometimes can’t help your heart. There are so many funny moments in this story, be warned you ma leak while reading.

5-stars

Best Foot Forward is the first book in the Liberty Lawrence series, this is a book I couldn’t wait to dive into, and dive in I did! Once I started reading I couldn’t stop! From the very beginning I was hooked! Libby’s character is one of my all-time favorites, she’s like a breath of fresh air with her sassy, inquisitive and optimistic personality, she never fails to have me laughing!

I love how Bea Stevens always manages to keep me engaged and entertained the whole way through with the many twist and turns throughout the storyline. She is an author I will always recommend as she’s truly one of my favorites! This is a series that should not be missed!

Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series Book 1) Bea Stevens is a crazy and fun loving read that will have you laughing out loud at the utterly charming and a little crazy thinking Libby. The thoughts that go through her mind are wonderfully out there and kept me totally entertained and fully engrossed the whole way through. I have read the second book in the series, which totally enchanted me, so it was great to see where it began and I was glad to find that it is equally as delightful.

Libby is a klutz, wherever she goes mayhem follows. She is a lover of all things fashion and is an expert when it comes to shoes. When there is a theft at the hotel she works at, somehow she manages to be in the right place at the wrong time. Libby uses her detective skills to form her own idea on who the thief is, but is it right? Her highly entertaining shenanigans will delight you as she delves into things others prefer she wouldn’t.

Bea has a hit on her hands with this series and I can’t wait to read more on Miss Liberty Lawrence and her craziness.

Best Foot Forward is the first book in the Liberty Lawrence series by Bea Stevens. This is such a charming, fairly light-hearted and fun read- I was entirely engaged and entertained the whole way through. This is a great start to a wonderful series, and lays down the building blocks and foundation for the rest of the series to be built on
I loved Liberty, she loves fashion…. And adores shoes!! She’s a little clumsy, fun, and a little off-beat….. which made her very endearing and entirely relatable. This series follows her escapades, with interesting and very entertaining results.
Libby has a job as a junior manager at a London hotel, where we soon discover that her boss’s office is the site of a theft. Libby has a good idea of who the culprit could be, but the handsome investigating officer doesn’t seem interested in her opinion. There’s a lot to enjoy about this delightful tale- and what transpires made for some really great reading.

Thank you, Ms. Stevens!

This is a romantic comedy that had me laughing throughout the story. This is a fun story about Libby. She is a junior manager at a hotel and loves shoes. When a theft happens, she thinks she knows who did it but problem is the hunky Detective Harper doesn’t necessary believe her theory. The rest you will have to read yourself but I will say, the twists and turns will keep you turning pages. Great characters that pull you into the story, make you feel part of it. I highly recommend this book.

Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series Book 1)
By: Bea Stevens
5 out of 5 stars

The story Best Foot Forward (The Liberty Lawrence Series Book 1) by Bea Stevens is an awesome book that I loved reading. One of the reasons I loved it so much is the character of Liberty “Libby” Lawrence. She is a woman who has a high energy level and loves designer shoes. She is someone I would like to go shopping with. She has an eye for detail and that may be why she finds herself with a theory as to who the thief is at the hotel where she works. Now all she has to do is convince Detective Sergeant James Harper, the handsome policeman that she is right. Liberty seems to be falling for James a little more each time that they meet. Is Liberty right about who she suspects the thief to be? Will anything happen between Liberty and James? What does the future hold for Liberty? Read this book to find out. This story had me with a smile on my face and at times laughing out loud. My emotions went up and down with Liberty’s and I found myself caring about her with every chapter that I read. There are times when I wanted to give her a hug and others when I wondered what she was going to do next. There are other secondary characters that are introduced, and I enjoyed reading about many of them and their interactions with Liberty. This is a book that hooked me in from the very beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. It is a story I would recommend reading.

Liberty ‘Libby’ Lawrence adores designer labels – even though she can’t afford many. And she especially loves shoes. Her favourites are Christian Louboutins – though not those fake ones Bianca Morrison-Wright gets from the market (the red paint rubs off the soles and everything!)

She’s working as a manager (albeit junior manager) at a London hotel, when the boss announces that there has been a theft from his office. Libby couldn’t help noticing some strange marks on his carpet when she was called in for a reprimand recently (not that it was her fault, or anything) which lead her to surmise who the thief is.

Detective Sergeant James Harper, the hunky policemen who is assigned the case, seems interested in her theory – until she names her number one suspect. Libby is devastated, not only because he doesn’t believe her but – more importantly – that this guy knows NOTHING about shoes!

As Libby struggles to convince the sergeant that her hunch is right, her boss that she’s ready for promotion and herself that she’s not really falling for the gorgeous copper, she realises that maybe she’s wrong about the theft, she’s not suited to the hotel industry and that the handsome hunk is married!

Stepping It Up (The Liberty Lawrence Series #2)Stepping It Up by Bea Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stepping It Up is the second book in the Liberty Lawrence series by Bea Stevens. It is a very witty, funny and very entertaining story and I really enjoyed it. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the thoughts and actions of our main character, Libby. She is a breath of fresh air, her inner musings, just gold and the situations she found herself in, cracked me up. Bea did a great job of putting this story together and providing entertaining from the start to the end. Libby and the other characters were fresh and engaging. If you want a little something to tickle your fancy then grab this book. I look forward to reading more from Bea.

5 Stars

Oh how I wish I had read the first in this series, not because I was lost at all in this book but because I have fallen head over heels in love with Libby LOL This is my first read by this author and I absolutely positively loved it!! There was something about the first few pages that had me completely hooked to this story and I will be going back to read the first especially knowing there is a third coming soon, and thank goodness for that because the ending of this one had me totally frustrated, probably not as frustrated as poor Libby though LOL

This was awesome, I loved the constant action in this book, there was never a dull moment and there was more than one occasion I thought I had things figured out and of course was totally off base. I loved how everything happened and I especially loved the way Libby handled her work situation towards the end, although not sure how all that will play out and what about her relationship with James…So so many questions and I can not wait for the next in this series.

This author writes an amazing story, and it was so much fun to read, and I can almost see all of this playing out on a tv show and even have some ideas of who would play who. I can’t say enough good things about this book and this author..

Loved It!!!!!

Stepping It Up is the second book in the Liberty Lawrence series by Bea Stevens. This is a charming, light-hearted and fun read that is entirely entertaining. This is the second book in the series, but you could read it as a standalone. But, having said that, I really recommend reading the first book before embarking on this read- because the first book introduces you to recurring characters, and lays out a foundation that the series will be built on. Plus, it’s a great read as well!

I loved Liberty, she loves fashion…. And shoe!! She’s also somewhat clumsy, fun, and a little off-beat….. making her very likeable and entirely relatable. This series follows her escapades, with some interesting and very entertaining results.

In this book, Libby has a new job as a reporter, which she had hoped would be the beginning of great things for her. But, things ae not playing out the way she had hoped. For a start, she is teamed up with Dave Chandler and is supposed to be shadowing him. But, Dave proves to be challenging on several levels- as he loves to run everywhere he goes; and then to top it off, he sneaks off without her. Plus, she isn’t ‘fitting in’ at the office either, as the other women seem to dislike her. Also, her best friend Cassie seems to have her life on track and is doing quite well- making Libby feel even more off-keel. But, the most troubling thing for Libby is how much she likes James Harper, who we met in the previous book- but he’s just too side-tracked to notice, or care. Not one to give up so easily, Libby decides that it’s time she does something about her situation- it’s time she started Stepping it Up! And what transpires made for some really great reading. I would happily recommend this book/series to anyone looking for a great Chick Lit story, that is light on the drama, but not lacking in enjoyment!

Looking forward to book #3!

 

Thank you, Ms. Stevens!
