A fun, breezy romance set in the beautiful Florida Keys. I am a big fan of Cabot's novels, and although this was not a new favorite, I enjoyed it as a fast-paced, easy read with a well-paced romance. Bree is a likeable main character with a believable story arc and she and Drew have good chemistry. Cabot is great at writing humor, and the island's funky cast of characters are the best parts of this novel. Not a unique romance novel, but it's light and upbeat and will appeal to many. I liked the island of Little Bridge and would definitely read more books in this series.
I really enjoyed this book! It has been too long since I've been caught up in a Meg Cabot novel, and this was a delight. Awesome read.
Wish this book was coming out in the summer, because it is the perfect beach read! Meg Cabot is a great author to recommend to any reader who is looking for a lighthearted romance featuring a strong female character. In No Judgments, Bree has retreated to a tiny island in the Florida Keys to escape her past and start fresh. Unfortunately, a major hurricane is bearing down. Fortunately, she meets the nephew of the owners of the cafe where she is working as a waitress. Together, they form an on-the-fly rescue team to save pets left behind during the storm (and fall in love). A fun, fast-paced and engaging read from an author you can count on for a terrific romance.
"No Judgements" is a low stress romance full of quirky and likable characters. After some emotional upheaval in her personal and family relationships, Sabrina "Bree" Beckham retreated to the small Florida Key where she and her parents used to vacation. She's drifting through life working as a waitress at the local restaurant and trying to put herself back together when it happens--a hurricane is about to hit the island. Bree decides to stay put instead of retreating to the mainland, a decision that puts her directly into the path of local heartthrob (and rumored ladies man) Drew Hartwell.
There's not a lot of actual tension in this book. The story moves along quite easily, and the romance develops at a nice pace, without a lot of drama thrown in along the way. Most of the tension in the story comes from Bree dealing with her past, and making peace with the things that sent her to the island in the first place. Bree is fun to read, starting off a pit prickly and slowly mellowing as she begins to open up and take charge of her life. "No Judgements" would be a perfect beach read, and if Meg Cabot decides to write any further works set in Little Bridge then I'm I'd have fun with those as well.
Standing up for yourself and finding your own path collide with a hurricane in this story of Bree as she makes a life in Florida. She finds friendship, love, and the strength to be true to herself.
