Don’t you love it when you pick a book up and can’t put it down again? This is what happened with this book!

Maggie and Jake are old family friends who no longer speak, however, when they both inherit their father's company and are forced to work out of the same office old feelings resurface. Leaving you to wonder why they didn’t speak for eight years.

Ellie has managed to create such a lovely relationship between these two characters, the office setting gave me major Hating Game vibes which I loved! I really enjoyed the wider relationships in the book as well, Ellie has created a gang of friends that the reader won’t forget about throughout the book which is no easy task!

I really enjoyed this and would definitely recommend it if you’re a fan of romcoms! I would love a sequel exploring some of the other characters relationships!

I have to say it was outstanding! I literally binged it in a few hours!

Jake is just perfect and I love him🧡

I felt like the characters were my friends and the whole story was just beautifully written!

I laughed, cried, had my heartbroken and put back together. 
I went thought so many emotions in such a short time I gave myself a headache 🤯

Everyone should read this!!

Pretty good. I’d recommend it, but it wasn’t amazing or anything.

I first read Love & London last year and was so excited when it was announced that it was getting a steamy update. I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to read it before it is re-released.

I absolutely adore this book and I enjoyed reading it even more this time around. The added steamy scenes are the cherry on top of an incredible romance!

It's such a well written book with realistic, loveable characters. Maggie has such a great, supportive group of friends.
I'm not someone to usually fancy a fictional character, but you can't not fall in love with Jake!

I had all the emotions reading this. It made smile throughout but there are also some emotional scenes which really pull on your heartstrings.

I didn't want to stop reading and was sad to get to the end, as I just wanted more about Maggie and Jake. However, the last chapter is perfect and ties everything together so beautifully.

Thank you again to Ellie White for allowing me to read and review Love & London.
I'm so looking forward to Love in the Wings which will be out next year!



Original review - April 2021
This was such a lovely read. I loved it from the beginning, and as I couldn't put it down, read it within 24hours.
The characters were so well written, and realistic, I adored them all.

It was heartwarming and both made me laugh, and brought me close to tears.

The last chapter was perfect, a great end to a wonderful story.
I can't wait to read more by Ellie White
