My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Freshwater series. This story follows Em, working on her PhD, and Joel, an architect. Neither are interested in a relationship as they are both too focused on their future. Joel’s client (Em’s father) suggests he and Em go out together. Meeting a spoiled daddy’s girl was not what he had in mind. But alas, Em’s father wants nothing more than for his little girl to settle down and get married. When Joel meets her, she is definitely not what he expected. Of course, sparks fly, but Joel needs to prove to her that he really is interested in her and not just because of her father.

Freshwater
Book 3
By Belinda Williams
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This is a full length novel filled with romance and laughter.

Em Georgiou is working to finish her PHD. She has no time for romance or commitments. She loves men, just not the ones her father set up for her. Joel Scott is trying to build his business in architecture. He is dealing with a difficult client, not just on the building itself. The client wants him to meet and date his daughter. Something Joel has no interest in. He does not do relationships! Once they meet Joel discovers Em is far more than her father gives her credit for. She is smart, educated and strong willed. Shocking Joel, he finds himself wondering if maybe he can try to know Em. Em on the other hand wants nothing to do with Joel. Or does she? Will these two come together or run the other way?

Belinda Williams has written this laugh out loud romantic comedy. I loved reading her story and getting to know her characters. Sometimes we are smarter than our father’s think. Or anybody else for that matter. Be sure to touch bases with your feelings.I think you will love reading this book as much as I did. It is fast paced and draws you right in. Sit down and enjoy this story as I did. Belinda Williams you knock this one out of the park! Well Done Belinda Williams. WELL done!

This book was so sweet to read and I’m grateful that she came in with a beautiful attitude and that she stole Joel’s heart from the way she maintained a personal attitude. Speaking of Em, her father is a sweetheart who just sees the bigger picture: LOVE, the old fashioned love that makes these books worth reading. I was blown away by the characters more than anything else in this book. So, brava to Belinda Williams for writing a new favorite book for me.

Em and Joel’s story was entertaining to read.
Em knows what she wants out of life…which is currently to complete her PhD and make a difference in the world. She does not have time for, nor want, a relationship…despite what her large Greek family wants for her. More importantly, her dad is constantly pushing guys her way hoping that she will fall in love, have a large Greek wedding, and settle down to start a family. She is already not looking forward to the guy her dad has set up for her to meet at the wedding she is in.
Joel is a successful business man that is currently working on a deal with a large developer. When the man he is trying to make a deal with says he should meet his daughter, Joel doesn’t want to say no for fear of losing the deal. When he meets Em, though, she is nothing like he expects her to be. She is smart, opinionated, and so much more than he bargained for. With neither of them wanting a relationship, and her interviewing for a job at his company, will they be able to keep a secret hook-up going…or were they destined to be a one-time fling?
This book was entertaining…and you knew Joel’s past would surface at some point. He guards his past so closely that you know something bad has happened which will continue to affect him. And it was interesting to watch Em evolve from the woman who wants nothing to do with any type of relationship to possibly falling in love. Characters from the previous books make appearances in this story so it was fun to see what they were up to. Overall, another good book in the series.

Daddy’s Girl by Belinda Williams is the 3rd book in the Freshwater series. This happens to be the first book I’ve read by this author – I will definitely be reading more of her books in the near future. I love Emily who is a strong, smart, straightforward, no nonsense kind of character. I couldn’t help but love Joel who is honest but very reserved due to childhood trauma and a life changing event. Emily and Joel are convinced they are not relationship material. They never expected to find such a captivating soul in each other. These two have some relationship struggles and blunder a bit, but are so relatable and lovable you won’t want to put the book down.

Loved it! I really enjoyed this book and all of the characters. The story was great, there was just enough drama to go along with the romance for Joel and Em. Em is a fantastic character, she is independent, smart, funny, beautiful and she totally deserves Joel. My heart broke for Joel, I can totally see why he thought he didn’t deserve anything good in his life, but agree with his friend and business partner Nate, that he is a fighter and deserves everything good that has come into his life if not to make up for his crappy childhood. Em is perfect in the way that she reacted to finding out about Joel, she was in shock and left with her father but told Joel she would talk to him the next morning once she could wrap her head around everything, Joel being broken took that another way and leaves. I hated her dad for even butting in, in the first place and the way he didn’t even try to listen to Joel’s side of the story. Their story is sweet and I am actually kind of upset there wasn’t more to end on, I was hoping for an epilogue of some sort but in the end still an excellent read, and worth it.

Daddy’s girl by Belinda Williams is the third book in the Freshwater series. This book is another great addition to this series and I think probably my favourite so far! I loved Emily and Joel – there were such loveable characters that I found myself completely behind them from the moment I started reading. They were fun and had such chemistry, it really was entertaining to read about them!
The book, as with the previous ones, is well written and engaging from start to finish. It is a quick, easy read that will pull you in and keep those pages turning. This is a great book and one I would certainly recommend!

There are so many things I love about this book.  First is Emily being the main character, my younger daughter is Emily.  Second is Aunty Em which is what we call my Emily when talking to my grandson.  Third, holy cow Emily falls in love!

After reading the first two books in this series I really wasn’t sure how it would happen but it was spectacular.   I loved Joel from the beginning,  there was something about him that I instantly liked.  The more I got to know him the more I liked him.

Joel has secrets and they are pretty big but with the upbringing he had I wouldn’t have expected anything else.

I have questions and hope this isn’t the end of this series.  I’m going to hold out hope that there will be a book four.

Daddy’s Girl is the third book in the Freshwater series by Belinda Williams. I was immediately drawn to this book by the pretty cover- before I even knew anything more about it. Having read the previous books in the series- it was a given that I would be reading this one as well. This is a contemporary romance with a bit of a romcom feel- all about finding love unexpectedly.
This is Em and Joel’s story, who I really enjoyed ‘meeting’. They were lovingly crafted and well developed individuals- with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws. They were entirely endearing and relatable which made it so easy to invest in them and the outcome of their story.
Another winning ‘recipe’ in the Freshwater series.

Thank you, Belinda Williams!

Daddy’s Girl (Freshwater Book 3) by Belinda Williams is a romantic comedy story. It has humour, emotion and drama which makes it relatable and interesting. The characters are endearing, and they are complete opposites but the attract each other and the fun begins. It is an easy and an enjoyable afternoon read. So, grab a drink and settle in for some fun and imagine that you to are at the Sydney beach side.

Em knows what she wants and goes after it and having a little fun on the way. Why can’t Daddy just be happy for her?

Joel is all business and no relationships. Em is not what he expected but will he be able to convince her that he is not just after Daddy’s business?

Daddy’s Girl (Freshwater Book 3) by Belinda Williams
Genre – Romantic Comedy, Contemporary Romance, Women’s Fiction
Page Count – 285 pages
Em Georgiou looks like the sort of girl you take home to your family. But she’s got a PhD to finish and a career to kick-start first. And besides, Em likes men too much to settle down—much to her father’s exasperation.
Joel Scott doesn’t do relationships. He’s too focused on his architecture business. So when his hard-to-please, cut-throat developer client suggests that he ‘gets to know’ his daughter Em, Joel is prepared to add the spoiled daddy’s girl to his to-do list for the sake of his career. Except Em is way more capable than her father gives her credit for. And she’s certainly not the type of woman you strike off your to-do list.
Can Joel convince Em that he’s not just trying to impress her father? Or that you can fall in love when you don’t want to… even if it involves facing up to a dark past you’d rather forget?

I really enjoyed reading about Jessica and Ant and how their relationship shifted over the course of time. I forgot how much I loved their characters in the first book of this series but once it all fell into place i had a hard time putting the book down.

Ant was inspiring and I could so relate on his I hate exercise feelings, I unfortunately have a lot more work to do than Ant.  It was cool to see how his mindset changed from the beginning to the end.  I wish I could meet someone like Jessica to help me get it together.

Jessica is amazing,  she isn’t that in your face healthy person who tries to push her way of life on you, instead she asks you to try.  Oh and her heart is as big as can be.

The friendship between the girls and the relationship Jessica and her family have warmed my heart and made me a little jealous.

I can’t wait to read Em’s story!

This is the second book in the Freshwater series. It is a sweet romance and quite enjoyable. I found myself lost in the story for the afternoon. The characters are fully developed and likable. The plotline is sweet and enjoyable. There were a couple of times that I was scared about things that were happening, but I had faith in Jessica. Jessica owns her own fitness business and she wants it to be successful. That is until Ant shows up. Ant is wanting to become muscular and wants Jessica to train him. Jessica has a slight itsy-bitsy problem…she is attracted to Ant. There were times that I talked to Jessica like I was right there with her like she could hear me and take my advice, Can Jessica train Ant and keep objective or will her heart take over? Can Ant change his ways or will he be a bad influence? I highly recommend this book to see exactly how Jessica and Ant’s story turns out.

Welcome back to the beachside Sydney in Belinda William’ Self Made that is the second book in her Freshwater series! It is a quick read that takes you down under and I have to say, there is something about those Aussie writers and their stories … We are getting Jessica Binks, the online fitness brand guru, and Ant Monticello, comedian and co-host of an evening current affairs show this time around. SHE has to get HIM into ripped with three months and obviously it all takes place under the eyes of the whole country … Belinda takes us on a ride filled with chemistry and laughter … you will root for both of them while wondering along with Jessica whether Ant really should change and what will happen when Ant stops trying to be the man he thinks Jessica wants him to be? There are also a number of other supporting characters that make the story even more enjoyable! I cannot wait to see who gets their turn next …

This is a full length funny and challenging story. Plus a little bit of romance. As well as the amazing setting in Australia. Makes you want to visit.

Jessica Jinks is all about fitness. She starts out with the help of social media. Built her business and wants to challenge others to try. In walks Ant (Antony) Monticello a very funny comedian. He keeps you laughing throughout the story. His comebacks are hilarious. He does take Jessica seriously. Now as the story comes together, they have 3 months to make a noticeable change. You must read on to see what happens.

Thank You Belinda Williams for this fun, fast and romantic story. I love your characters, the bantering is engaging. The story line as well as the self improvements work well together. I really did enjoy reading this the second book in the series. I just know the next one will be worth the reading. I can wait for #3. Job well done Belinda Williams!

Self Made is the 2nd book in the Freshwater series by Belinda Williams. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but the characters from the other books are re-occurring. I hadn’t read any of Belinda Williams’ work until I read book 1 in this great series, which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I was looking forward to reading more of this series. I’m so glad to say that I was not left disappointed.
I loved Jessica when we met her in Between The Lines and it was so good to get inside her head and really get to know her. We also get to meet Ant in Between the Lines and I couldn’t wait to see what mischief he would get up to. Well, the guy is a comedian. I have to say that I laughed a lot during this book. Ant’s antics when he’s first introduced to exercise is hilarious. He’s such a great character to read, you just can’t help but love him.
This is a fast flowing story that I did not want to put down. It definitely fits the description of a ‘page turner’. The storyline is great and the characters are very likeable and realistic.
I loved getting to see Kat and Matt again and also Em whose story we are getting next. Now that is one story I can’t wait to read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Self Made is the second book in Belinda Williams’ Freshwater series, and can be read as a standalone. It follows Jessica Jinks, who runs her own fitness business, and Ant Monticello, a successful comedian who has been roped into following Jess’ “Hi-Jinks” programme by a TV show he works for. Ant enjoys his couch potato lifestyle and is reluctant to get stuck into Jess’ world of early mornings and healthy food (especially kale. He’s scared of kale.).
This is an enjoyable read, set in a beautiful coastal Australian landscape. I particularly enjoyed a scene where the pair go for a kayak trip! The story is tense at times but balanced out with plenty of humour.
I particularly appreciated Williams’ inclusion of the work Jess does with Ant’s father, Stefano. As Stefano has gotten older, his mobility has decreased significantly and he has dementia. Jess’ dedication to helping people enjoy and benefit from exercise is not limited to young, active people and she comes up with some clever solutions to help Stefano.
Each book in this series focuses on different central characters, but they are friends with the characters in the other books. I really like this format as I enjoy seeing characters after their Happily Ever After, and it helps me get into a story when I’ve met the main characters before. So I would recommend starting with the first book, Read Between The Lines, where you’ll get to know Jess and Ant as secondary characters.
For me, this is a five-star read. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a fun romance, particularly people interested in fitness. I have to say, it almost motivated me to exercise (watch this space, I may give in tomorrow…).

This is the second book in the Freshwater Series. Its a lovely romance with characters you can’t help but fall in love with. It is easy reading and the characters work well together.

Jess is a personal trainer. With her successful online business and her growing client base she is set her biggest challenge yet when she is given her biggest, well known client.

Ant is a professional comedian who hates the thought of exercise. So when he is set the challenge to work with Jess for 3 months to get into shape it is his idea of hell.

What neither of them expect is the growing attraction between them. Can Jess get behind the comedy act to see the man inside? Can Ant prove to Jess that he may not look like her ideal man but that he is just that? Can they work towards the same goal or will they fight each other every step of the way?

This is one of those books that you won’t want to put down until you’re done. Belinda Williams writes amazing characters and Jessica and Ant do not disappoint.

Jessica loves fitness and has created an online empire that has made her quite popular. Ant is a comedian that does not share the same love of fitness that Jessica does. Jessica and Ant team up in a three-month transformation with all their fans watching. What ensues is a journey of not only body transformation but also self-discovery.

This book takes a couple of issues head-on…and they added more to the story. First, there is the mutual attraction between Jessica and Ant. Society doesn’t seem to like it when a fit woman falls for an unfit man (or vice versa). Jessica is scared of pursuing anything with Ant because she is also the owner of the company and she believes it would look bad to get involved with a client. Another issue that is faced is that sometimes what you think is helping a person can change them into someone else (and it isn’t always for the better). Ant begins to change as his body does and it may not be into a better person.

This is another good book by Belinda Williams that I enjoyed reading. I am looking forward to whatever she comes out with next!

Boy oh Boy do I love this book! It has just the right amount of humor, fun and craziness. I like that the author tackled a couple issues in here. One being that the fit, sexy full of muscles (Abs—I’m talking about you!) character is a woman and the flabby, lazy junk food eating character is a man. This puts a different spin on things. Second the Ant is a comedian who struggles to turn off the funny comments because everyone expects him to be funny/witty. He needs to make them laugh. Both of these characters were fun and I liked watching them change. That is not saying I didn’t want to SMACK Ant upside the head a time or two.

I enjoyed getting to know Ant’s family as well as Jessica’s much larger one. While dinner at Jessica’s family was off the charts bad (Poppy??) anytime spent at Ant’s was amazingly good.

Overall is a fun story that is light hearted but not at times. I read it fairly quickly because I didn’t want to put it down. The author did a good job and I look forward to the next.

Read Between the Lines by Belinda Williams

Who is this author and where has she been all of my life? This is the question I am asking myself as I write this review. Belinda Willams has a very creative knack for snagging a reader’s attention and not letting it go until the very end. As the first book in her Freshwater book series, Read Between the Lines was phenomenal.

So where to begin to start my review. There is just SO much about this book that I want to say and I hope I can put it here for you. Belinda Williams takes the reader on an incredible journey with this book. There’s humor; the best line EVER written in a book: ‘kale has no right to be in liquid form’ tickled my funny bone immensely!! Romance, we’re talking the swoon-worthy kind. TONS of feels, be prepared to laugh and cry. Then there are the characters, Matt & Kat. From the introduction to the end, watching them evolve and work through the ups and downs of not only their relationship but their interactions with sub-characters was wondrous. ‘Read Between the Lines’ hits all the markers for a perfect romance book.

As this is not the first series by this author but the first book for me, I definitely will be reading her other works. With a campy writing style that’s fun and easy to get through but still takes on powerful subjects and feelings, Belinda Williams covers it all. As much as I want to tell you more about this book, I don’t want to share any spoilers. Read the blurb. Pick up the book. You’ll thank me. Of this I’m certain. So I’ll just say it now: You’re welcome. 🙂

Self Made by Belinda Williams

As Belinda Williams is apt to say in her books “Far Out!”. And let me tell you Self Made fits this phrase. As the second book in Ms. Williams’ Freshwater series, this book just keeps on with the goodness. Although this title can be read as a stand-alone, I would highly suggest you pick up book one. And then go back and just get EVERYTHING written by Ms. Williams. Trust me. You won’t regret doing this.

Okay…so this is a story about a funny guy and your average girl who meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after. THE. END. Well kinda…I mean it’s a romance, right? But Ms. Williams encompasses SO MUCH MORE in this book. It’s about self-reflection and discovery. It’s about family and expectations. It’s about friendship and laughter. All wrapped up in love and humor.

Seriously, as a reader, when an author incorporates everyday struggles and problems in a book, I tend to be wary as I don’t want to be preached to about these things. I just want to be able to escape into the book. But Ms. Williams does a magnificent job of combining these things with humor and connection to the characters, that you learn and grow just as the characters do. All of this, combined with the witty repartee between not only the main characters but the sub-characters as well and a stunning location, make this book a winner.

There is depth to the characters, and each has their own profession that make them so different. One a health and fitness guru and the other a comedian. It is a story of opposites attract and the fun begins as Jess tries to remake the man. The story is steamy and an easy and an enjoyable afternoon read.

I really enjoyed this book; I have previously read work by this author but not from this series.

I like Jessica and Ant, they were connectable characters and I really enjoyed reading about them. Jessica was a smart lady, she knew what she wanted and she worked really hard to achieve it. Ant was hilarious! He made me laugh out loud so many times! He was a great character! I loved the setting for the story; it felt serene at times when the author was describing everything.
I would definitely recommend Self Made! It was a great 5 star read!
