First Five Star
Immerse yourself in the delightful fusion of one of my cherished authors and a captivating romcom, resulting in an exceptional literary experience. My day unfolded with the enchanting narrative as the backdrop to my work, transforming a five-hour shift into a joyous escapade. Despite my initial reservations about romance, this book won me over completely. As a devoted enthusiast of Robert Bryndza's thrilling novels, adding this gem to my collection was a no-brainer.
Venturing into the realm of romantic comedy, originally published in 2016, I eagerly embraced the opportunity to explore whether Rob Bryndza could seamlessly transition from crime fiction to romcom. The answer, I discovered, was a resounding yes.
The audiobook, skillfully narrated by the incredibly talented Jan Cramer, proved to be a highlight. Cramer's mastery in effortlessly switching between diverse accents added an extra layer of enjoyment to the overall experience.
In typical romcom fashion, the storyline unfolded with lightheartedness and frivolity, featuring Natalie as the central character entangled in a love ‘rectangle' with three men. While one contender bowed out early on, the suspense regarding the remaining two persisted until the satisfying conclusion, sprinkled with laughter throughout.
Beyond the narrative, what truly captivated me were the characters – an area where Bryndza consistently excels, even outside the crime fiction genre exemplified by his Erika Foster series. While romcoms often rely on stereotypes, Bryndza skillfully transformed them into comical caricatures. From Benjamin, the yoga guru, to Gran, the glamorous Hungarian immigrant with a colorful romantic history, each character brought a unique charm, leaving me both enamored and amused. Gran, in particular, remains a personal favorite, and while I entertain the hopeful notion of her receiving her own book, I acknowledge it might be wishful thinking.
This romcom adventure has solidified my admiration for Bryndza's versatility as an author who seamlessly navigates between crime/thrillers and romance. I eagerly anticipate any future forays into this genre and would undoubtedly become an avid supporter of such endeavors. Completing this book in a single sitting, I wholeheartedly recommend making time for it – the perpetual smile it imparts is well worth the investment. A resounding five-star read awaits you as you embark on a journey to meet the Love family. Click the link below and immerse yourself in the charm and humor that await.
