I became a fan of Louise Murchie when I read her Tango Down Duology earlier this year, so I decided to start on the Gone Dutch trilogy. While they weren’t quite to my taste, I did enjoy reading them.
See my review for book 3 below.
My Review
I preferred reading this book to the second one in the series, but maybe that’s because the love interest shared the same name and several similar traits to my husband! I could see lots of similarities between my romantic experiences and Ruth’s, so this book was a good read. It got deeply emotional in places, but it balanced well with the fun side of dating. Set in Birmingham, it makes a nice change of location from most of the books I have read recently.
About the Book
