Review: The Weekend Surprise – Ella Jade

Posted October 26, 2014 by Cocktails and Books in Reviews / 0 Comments

A chance meeting or a calculated encounter? Someone is in for a surprise.

Brooklyn Conservatory student Sammy Falcone lives a quiet and modest life. She’s busy studying classical music, playing her cello, and trying to make ends meet. After she learns of her deceased mother’s secret that may involve the Cannon family, she heads to a wedding to catch a glimpse of the privileged clan, never expecting to come face-to-face with them.

Tyler Cannon must abandon his wild, partying ways and step up to help his brother Spencer run the family advertising business. When he meets Sammy at his brother’s wedding he’s immediately taken by the reserved beauty. Her innocence and simple lifestyle intrigue him enough to become a one-woman man.

Sammy is drawn to Tyler’s charm and the attention he shows her. Once she gets to know him, the secrets of her mother’s past are no longer important. The problem is Spencer has been suspicious of her from the beginning. Will Spencer’s overprotectiveness of his family ruin her chances with Tyler? And if the truth comes out, will Sammy be able to convince Tyler that she never meant his family any harm?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This is the second in a series but can be read as a standalone. This starts with Spencer and Coda’s wedding at a hotel. Sammy the Heroine grew up in the same area as Coda and like most around there has not only heard all about the now famous couple but love to meet them. She decides to go to the hotel where the wedding is being held for the small chance of a glimpse at them.  Instead, she ends up attracting the attention of the younger brother Tyler.

Sammy has a secret though and she is not sure what to with it especially after falling in love with all three of the family members. While Tyler only sees her; Spencer, always looking out for his family; cannot help the constant nagging feeling that something is off with Sammy.

Therefore, my review is hard to write to because I think this story is decent and the writing is smart and sweet. Unfortunately, the formatting and editing made it hard for me to really get into and enjoy.   I do not like to give up or discount books solely for a few mistakes because I know writers work hard but this one just made it difficult for me.

I do think it can be an enjoyable weekend read though.
