Love Tools (Bluestone Series, #1)Love Tools by Isobel Reed
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lily has had enough of dead-end jobs and dead-end boyfriends; she decides to seek adventures abroad and when she discovers she has inherited her estranged father’s business in BlueStone County.

Once she arrives things do quite go to plan, after a encounter with a sexy cowboy she thinks things are looking up but said cowboy Jake is more irritating in the beginning but as Lily gets to know Jake the chemistry is off the charts.
Can she ignore his reputation, and will Jake be the one?

This is the first book I have read by this author and thought this novella a great opening book into her world. I loved the interaction between the two main characters, and this was a well written story to start this series off with.

I did feel a bit for Jake as I felt that he could not shake the reputation of the past and prove too everyone he had changed as a love and leave them type of person, but in the end the story weaved beautifully through their relationship and blossomed into a lovely heart-warming story.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and other books by this author.

A cyclone of emotions
This book was like being on an emotional roller coaster. I absolutely love books set in small towns where the township is embedded in the story. This did not disappoint. All the characters are likeable and Lily and Jake are such a great couple. Their story had me bouncing between the lols and the tears. I am so looking forward to reading more of the Bluestone Series.
Highly recommend.

Love Tools is the first book in the Bluestone series by Isobel Reed. It is a really great contemporary romance (closed-door/fade-to-black/clean) with a small-town setting, a western element, sexy cowboys, emotion, humour, interesting + likeable characters, and just enough drama to keep things interesting.
This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Reed, but if this story is anything to go by, it definitely won’t be the last.
There’s so many laugh-out-loud moments, which made this book such a fun read- but, there was plenty of emotion too, which tugged at my heartstrings and had me all wrapped up in the ‘feels’. Lily was such a hoot- all sass and sarcasm- which made for some really funny banter, quips, and antics. Jake might have started out as the king of casual, not wanting a relationship- until Lily swept onto the scene and upended his life. She was everything he didn’t know he needed…. he’ll just have to convince her that it’s worth taking a chance on love.
Bring on Book #2- Expiry Dating…. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Alice and Brady.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Isobel Reed!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When the father that wasn’t around leaves you an inheritance after his death. This was pretty much how Love Tools started. Lily, the female lead, was left her father’s property in Montana. Which included a hardware store. So she uproots her life in London to start anew. Little did she know where this would lead her life.
Will she let the past get the best of her?
Jake didn’t know his friend Matthew had a daughter, and a feisty one at that. She comes blowing into his life and doesn’t know how to handle it. But he intends on proving to her she’s more than just a fling.
Can he not get redemption?
The story the author wrote was cute. Full of stubborn and feisty characters to keep one entertained. There were also some snickering laughs along the way. What the author put these two main characters through demonstrated so much growth on both parts it was refreshing.
I enjoyed it and look forward to the next book!

I absolutely fell in love with this book on page one. It completely sucked me in, and the tenacity of the main character had me smiling throughout the whole book. It’s a quick read, pretty mild, but it’s still a gorgeous love story. Of course, there were moments when I wanted to smack both of them upside the head. It has such a wonderful ending, and I’m 100% looking forward to the next book!

Love Tools is the first in the Bluestone Series. We have a woman trying to connect with a father she never knew, and never will now that he’s gone, by uprooting her life and moving to Bluestone to run his hardware store. We have a cowboy who is a known playboy who becomes fascinated by the new hardware store owner. And of course a town full of people who won’t let either of them forget his past! Great story can’t wait for more in this series!

4 Stars out of 5 Stars

Love Tools: Bluestone Series: Book One is the love story of Lily and Jake. With a feel good vibe and a clean romantic love this book is absolutely a perfect weekend read. The main characters are relatable and very interesting. The book is from the perspective of both Lily and Jake. Sam (Jake’s sister) and Alice (Lily’s sister) are also great characters and add a little sisterly fun to the book. If you are interested in romance and a feel good story you definitely need to give this book a chance. Can’t wait to read the next book. Highly recommend!

This is the first book of the series and I’m hooked! This is my first book I’ve read by Isabel and it most certainly won’t be the last! Lilly has inherited her fathers tool shop. She meets Jake (has his own ranch) who gets under her skin since their first interaction. She’s mouthy, he’s sarcastic. She infuriates him but he can’t get enough. Will they quit bumping heads and let love take over? Will she find that certain thing or spark she’s been looking for in her life? She moved because she felt like something was missing. Will she find that? Highly recommend this! I love the authors writing style and it had me completely hooked. Real page turner for me and I couldn’t put the book down. I love Lilly and her sassiness lol.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lily, who lives in London where her crazy dramatic overbearing mother drives her crazy, a job that’s going nowhere and a string of loser boyfriends has made her miserable. Her father dies (a man she generally knows nothing about) and leaves her his store and small apartment above it. She she chooses to move from London to Montana and re open the store despite her mother’s grievances about it.

In walks Jake a sexy cowboy with a bad reputation as a hit it and quit it kinda guy. He hasn’t wanted a relationship before but one meeting with the sassy lily has him questioning everything.

Can these two find their way into happiness despite their differences and his reputation being held against him?
This book is funny at times had you in tears at times. I was engaged and rooting for the characters. Worth a read!!

Lily left her life in London to move to Bluestone County where her absent father lived and died. Lily plans to reopen his hardware store and she is hard at work when she ends up meeting Jake. Something about his comments gets her hackles up and every interaction after has a sizzling effect for both of them. It’s only a matter of time before they ignite and they could end up finding that missing piece for one another.

I really enjoyed this one. Lily is a hoot and the interactions with Jake bring a smile to your face while reading. Love Tools had a few surprises along the way. Definitely going to read the next book in this series.

So while I enjoyed this story I also had a few issues with it. It is a fast paced read that easily held my interest. The storyline is a bit different and I liked that but also felt choppy at times. I felt like the author was throwing random problems in to make the story longer. I feel controversial writing that because I did like the story. The characters are older (low to mid thirties) and I like reading stories about mature people. These leading roles bothered me at times because the language and actions of them it made me feel like I was reading a early twenties story. I was concerned enough I read the authors bio to see if she is a younger writer.

The main characters and story are good other than the above mentioned. This is the first book in a series and I am curious about the next two characters and what will happen to them.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An entertaining and enjoyable contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Lily is running away from a difficult past when she decides to move halfway across the world to Bluestone County to reopen her estranged father’s hardware store. Lily enjoys the wide open space, and clean air along with the perks of small town living, and the sexy cowboys. One in particular, Jake is the bane of her existence, but very good to look at. Jake has a reputation and is known as the king of casual, his life has always been his ranch and so he never really saw the point in a long-term relationship. Then he meets Lily, and she’s all he can think about, and he’s determined to convince her that he is finally the right man for her. The author has a unique writing style which kept me hooked from start to finish. This is a heartwarming sweet romance, and the chemistry between Lily and Jake really came across in the narrative. The descriptive narrative brought the small town setting vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Tools is a contemporary romance and the first book in the Bluestone series. It is funny and had me laughing out loud and once again getting strange looks from those on the bus with me. Oh well it was worth it. At times I thought of it as a rom com but then the emotions would set in only to need tissues but finding the tissue box empty.
This small-town romance has something for everyone who loves a cowboy romance with sexy cowboys, strong and sassy leading ladies.
There is nothing he loves more than his ranch and he is quite content with his life. No need for a relationship they all know the score up front. When an unexpected, beautiful woman comes to town it’s her dirty and snarky mouth that sets him alight.
Men are not in her wheelhouse she is done, done with all the losers. Done with a job that is going nowhere and done with her crazy mother she decides it’s time to leave and find some place new. The beautiful setting of Bluestone County seems just the right spot, only to find a sexy cowboy who grates on her last nerve. If only he had a pause button.
You will fall in love with the characters as much as the setting.

Love Tools (Bluestone Series Book 1) by Isobel Reed. This was such a fun short romance. I loved Lily who is fed up with the life she is living and moves from London to to Bluestone County to reopen her fathers Tool shop that has been closed. When she meets Jake in Bluestone County sparks fly between the two but he’s never met a woman as feisty as her. Jake is a rancher and is laid back about everything which drives Lily crazy so they butt heads at the beginning. He knows she drives him crazy but she’s all he can think about. Lily has sworn off guys because she constantly picks the wrong one. This is such a fun sweet contemporary romance. I think I fell in love with Jake and was sad when it was over. Do yourself a favor and read this fun romance!

Lily has had enough! Packing and leaving London to find her fathers business in Bluestone County was in her sights. Finding her fathers tool shop, she is bound and determined to reopen and make a living for herself. Jake, sexy as all get out, owns his ranch and is the love of his life. Until he comes across a sassy mouthed blond who crosses his path. Can these two unlikely people come together in this romantic series? I give no spoilers, other than tell you to read this story. This series starter is well written and easy to follow. Lily is strong and independent and is determined to do it on her own. I fell in love with all of the characters in this romance. Yes I laughed, cried and even got mad, but it was all worth it in the end. This author’s story is well worth the read and I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Lily comes to town to take over her estranged dead fathers hardware store and meets cowboy Jake. Jake is your typical hallmark cowboy.. darlin, sweetheart.. you know the drill. She had a horrible history with men and she thinks she is seeing some red flags that make her extremely cautious.

This is a cute, super quick romance!

City girl, Lily, meets country boy, Jake. This was a fun romp through the relationship between them. Lily came back to take over her father’s hardware store. Jake is a macho stud with an attitude. The chemistry is there but Lily is from London so through in some culture shock and you have a bit of the funniest romance. Lily has some issues to take care of. She has some family that has guilting down to a T. Jake has his won issues. Watching them develop this relationship shows how love takes two and the right tools to make things work. Will it work? Can they move forward through their issues? Gotta read it to find out. I loved the storyline. All the characters in this story are fantastic. Definitely fit the small town personalities. The plot ran fairly smooth. It’s a terrific tale that is a quick read for the romance lover.

Love Tools (Bluestone Series Book 1) by Isobel Reed

Love Tools is the first book in Bluestone series and is a wonderfully written Contemporary Romance that I freaking loved reading. I was pulled in from the beginning and I pretty much devoured this book in one sitting. I’m fairly new to this author but I’m definitely interested in finding out what other books they have written. This is Lilly and Jake’s story, she has a habit of picking the wrong men to date and now finds herself in Bluestone running her estranged father’s hardware store. Jake has one love of his life and that’s his ranch he’s considered the king of casual until he meets her. Now he can’t stop thinking about the mouthy blonde and must convince her somehow that he’s not the other men she’s dated in the past. Can Jake show her what a real relationship should look like? Can Lilly open her heart and let Jake in? I highly recommend reading this fast paced story to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

Lily is running. From a dead-end job, a neurotic mother and all the losers she dared to date. Moving halfway across the world to Bluestone County seemed like a good idea at the time. So did reopening her estranged father’s hardware store. But now she isn’t so sure. 

Small town living has its perks though. Wide-open space, clean air, and sexy cowboys. Well, one sexy cowboy. Jake. Who also just so happens to be the new bane of her existence. At least when he’s not talking, she can admire the view.  

Jake is the king of casual. The love of his life has always been his ranch, and that was fine with him. He never really saw the point in long-term. But all that changes when a mouthy, blonde sasses him into oblivion. He should have known she’d be trouble as soon as he laid eyes on her. Now it’s too late. She’s all he can think about. All he has to do is convince her that he’s finally the right man. 

Isobel Reed’s hilarious, emotionally charged romance will have you holding your side with laughter or reaching for a tissue. Reminiscent of small-town romance by Tessa Bailey or Kristen Ashley, you will fall in love with LOVE TOOLS and Isobel Reed’s unique writing style.
