This is Kelsey Patterson with the Sioux City Public Library and you’re listening to Check It Out. Today, I’m recommending my newest favorite romance novel, No Judgments by Meg Cabot.
Meg Cabot has a long, successful track record of writing entertaining stories with copious amounts of wit and humor. I’ve read the majority of Meg Cabot’s other works, both teen and adult fiction alike, and No Judgments does not disappoint. The first book in a new series set in the quaint town of Little Bridge Island, FL, No Judgements is a contemporary romance full of quirky characters and plagued by one heck of a storm.
When a massive hurricane severs all power and cell service to Little Bridge Island—as well as the bridge connecting it to the mainland—25-year-old Bree Beckham isn’t worried…at first. She’s already escaped one storm—her emotionally abusive ex—so a hurricane seems like it will be a piece of cake.
But animal-loving Bree does become alarmed when she realizes how many islanders have been cut off from the beloved pets they had to leave behind. Now it’s up to her to save as many of Little Bridge’s furry friends as she can, but to do so, she’s going to need help—help she has no choice but to accept from her boss’s sexy nephew, Drew Hartwell, the island’s most notorious heartbreaker (according to local gossip).
But when Bree starts falling for Drew, just as Little Bridge’s power is restored and both her apologetic ex and overbearing mother show up, she has to ask herself if her island fling was only a result of the stormy weather, or if it could last during clear skies too.
