I have to agree with the title, that almost certainly was Probably The Best Kiss in the World for Jen, after all she has been in a relationship for most of her adult life with a man that doesn't give her any excitement or passion.

So when she finds there is even some attraction to the Danish hunk that fishes her out of a canal, which she fell into saving her mobile phone, her life goes a bit into free-fall.

Jen loves control and to do lists, she has every second of a day mapped out, and hates the unexpected, so for her meeting Jakub isn't exactly in her life plan. After all she has a boyfriend, who she could be engaged to - but it is when she can't bring herself to start lists on her new wedding app, that the reader gets an inkling things aren't quite right.

What I loved about Jen was her true passion, which is for craft beer, and you get to know a fair bit about it. I don't think I've read a book where craft beer and brewing plays such a large part before, but it was incredibly welcome.

However as much as I enjoyed reading about Jen, it was the insights into her sister Lydia that added another dimension to this story. Without giving anything away I will say that Lydia is an inspiration, and the tragic happening in the sisters past has shaped everything about their current character traits.

From the first few pages I knew I would enjoy this, from the funny start, to the company that Jen works for - again definitely not read a main character that is in charge or marketing incontinence pads before! In fact Jen is just rather unique and every time I had to put the book down due to real life I did so with a smile on my face and a yearning to continue.

This is the second book I've now read from Pernille Hughes and it is just a great as the first. If you are looking for a wonderful rom-com, that also had a few surprises in it, then this is definitely worth a read.

Many thanks to Harper Impulse and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I wanted to love this book, However, for me, it was spoiled by the never ending talk about beer. What beer is made of. How beer is made. The many many many different types of beer described in depth, the sales of beer. The marketing of beer. Beer around the world. The smell of beer. The taste of beer. The colour of beer. Beer. Beer. Beer.

That is not what I wanted to read and not what the descriptor spoke of. Feeling disappointed in this book and couldn’t even finish it. Sorry but this is not for me

If you are British you probably recognise that the title is a riff on an advertising slogan for a well-known Danish lager, which kind of encompasses the concept of this novel.

Jen Attison works in marketing for a local firm which sells eco-friendly incontinence pads, it's not her passion, that's brewing her own beer, but it's local and she's good at it and it allows her to look after her younger sister Lydia who lost a leg in the accident that killed her parents. She has also been dating her bosses' brother Robert for the past six years although she has known him since she was a child when he and his parents came to her father's car repair shop or her mother's dressmaking shop. Robert came to Jen's assistance when her parents were killed and he has been a quiet supportive presence ever since.

When Robert springs a proposal on her Jen is surprised and a little bit shell-shocked, on her forced hen-weekend in Denmark she falls into a canal and is rescued by a gorgeous Danish man, called Yakob. Jen and Jakob spend the afternoon and evening together, talking about beer and Jen's pet hate, the global brewing company Kronegaard, which is headquartered in Denmark (any similarity to Carlsberg is probably intentional), they part on a kiss and Jen never thinks she will see Jakob again, until she runs into him at a brewing conference.

Her parent's accident has had a profound impact on Jen's attitude to life, making her risk-averse and leading her to seek security. She gave up her dreams of being a brewer to look after Lydia but will she settle for boring Robert and his plans for her to give up work and live in a big house by the golf course or will she take a chance on her heart and the mysterious Jakob?

I really enjoyed this, it was quirky, contained loads of detail about brewing and was a funny, light-hearted, feel-good romance. Jen wasn't perfect, as the novel progresses the reader discovers Jen is over-protective and controlling when it comes to Lydia and too passive when it comes to Robert and his (frankly) appalling family but she feels real, she makes human decisions and mistakes.

Recommended if you like quirky British romances about choices and following your passion.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This was a surprising read...I assumed it would be focused solely on the romance aspect, but the relationship between the sisters took front and centre, and our heroine wanted to brew beer was a nice change of pace. A good surprising read

Getting past the language used was a huge barrier to my finishing this book. It was a little unnecessary and over the top. The plot was predictable, and the characters weren't really that likable. I give it two stars for descriptions of Copenhagen (saved me the trip money) and the information about beer brewing.

Such a funny, fresh romance! I really enjoyed the depiction of Copenhagen as I don't know if I've read a novel set there before, and it made me want to visit. Jen is a compelling, relatable heroine and in addition to her romantic relationship, readers get a good feel for the heartwarming sisterly relationship between Jen and Lydia. This book reminded me a lot of a Sophie Kinsella book, where there's kind of a formula, but it's one that I love and could read again and again. I would recommend this to any fans of light, witty romantic comedies!
