Bagging Alice by Laura Barnard

Release Date: 11.01.2018

Synopsis:

Alice is used to taking photographs for a living – not having intimate pictures of herself posted for all the world to see, thanks to a disgruntled ex-boyfriend. Now her clients are cancelling appointments, and she’s almost out of cash. What else could go wrong? Oh yeah, her room mate has scarpered leaving Alice completely out of luck.

Enter Tom ‘man whore’ Maddens. Having disappointed his father one time too many, he moves to Brighton, ready for a new start. And where better to begin it than in Alice’s newly-vacant spare room? And if he tries to seduce her at the same time? Well he’s just living up to his reputation isn’t he?

But then he didn’t bank on actually falling for her. Will his reputation as a commitment phobe put a stop to any sparks between the pair? Or can Alice put aside her trust issues and take a leap of faith for Tom? 

Review:

Bagging Alice is a new funny and sexy addition to the Babes of Brightong series.

It could be read as a stand alone but you will see the characters of the previous novels throughout it.

I’ve really enjoyed to read this hate to love story.

Alice and Tom don’t look like a good match but their banters are hilarious and their chemestry is hot.

I liked how they discover their feelings for each other are changing but they both have some issues to overcome before to start a relationship and how they act in the face of a troubling situation shows how immature and hardheaded they really are.

I have really appreciated how Laura Barnard talks about serious themes even if this is a sexy rom com.
