This book just wasn’t for me unfortunately. I didn’t really connect with any character and the story fell flat for me. Though there were some funny moments and witty dialogue. I think this book could be really great for some people though. It wasn’t bad. Just not my type.

Janet Elizabeth Henderson has created a wonderful village a Scottish village, inhabited by great characters.
This is truly the first book in the series a great series highly recommended full of laughter and Romance.

I have no idea what I have just read...
This book is laugh out loud hilarious, but is it also laugh out loud odd.
England VS Scotland in the lingerie wars! It is like nothing I have ever read before.
Well written but a little slow paced for my liking.

They should be enemies!!
They were rivals in business!!
But everything turns out to be a great comedy...


War could be about underwears. Or even British X Scots.
But in the end, it was pure and simple romance.
Kirsten's recent past story was not beautiful after the accident and she knew that her ex-fiancé had stolen her, but fate had reserved something much better for her.
Not to mention that the secondary characters also are great.
This is the first book in the series. Get ready to have fun.
5 stars

"Lake Benson's midlife crisis lasted exactly twenty-four hours. In that time he quit his career with the army and bought a lingerie shop. All things considered, he was glad the crisis hadn't lasted longer." (page 1)

Those lines set the tone for the book, a fun book that has a great sense of humor (cardboard Lake and the list of anxieties written on the inside of the cupboard to name two) and many laugh out loud moments.


I adored Lake and Kirsty. Kirsty is resilient. After a car crash and the resulting injuries ended her career as a model she found and followed a new dream. And then the infuriating and anxiety inducing Lake shows up, threatening everything she's worked for. Lake has figured out what he wants to do with his life and it's not owning a lingerie shop. Even when he's at war with Kirsty he's sweet, helping her, worrying about her, and wanting to protect her.


It's war from their very first meeting, complicated by a sizzling sexual attraction and Kirsty's body image issues. Their skirmishes were amusing - mostly because of Team Kirsty's ineptitude, former soldier Lake knows war. I was on both Team Lake and Team Kirsty as they waged their Lingerie War and Battle of the Bras, I wanted them both to achieve their dreams.


There are quite a lot of characters, all quirky. Lake's little sister Rainne who I wanted to smack upside the head for most of the book, the alternately amusing and horrifying antics of the eighty-six year old underwear mascot Betty, the Knit or Die group, morality policewoman Morag, and the pubescent hacker just to name a few.


I had a smile on my face when I reached the last page. I will be keeping an eye out for other works by Janet Elizabeth Henderson.
