A Girl's Best Friend by Lindsey Kelk
4.0
I think I liked this one the best of all three Tess Brookes novels because she had to struggle a little bit more; she wasn't just lucking in to this amazing situation and immediately recognized as a talented photographer.
I do wish I had read the I Heart series first, because I'm 99% sure that there were crossover characters.
My only "complaint", which is more of a personal preference, is the prologues for these three books got a little...sameish. They were all purposely meant to confuse the reader into thinking that things were going one way when that isn't the case at all and each one tried to outdo the last. For example, this one is clearly intended to make the reader think Tess is the one getting married, not Kekipi, especially considering she's the one in the white dress, and then both Nick and Charlie show up and get into a fistfight and the "mystery" is which of the two she is/should be marrying. But by this point in the series, since both previous installments did something similar, it is clear that isn't what's going on and it just seems...out of place. Or at least it did to me.
Otherwise, I loved it and I very much identify with the kind of identity crisis Tess is facing. Should she do the safe thing and stick with marketing or follow her passion and go the photography route?
