Today, I am delighted to bring you a publication day review of Mr Right Across the Street, and would like to thank the author Kathryn Freeman, her publisher One More Chapter and Netgalley for the free digital Advanced Review Copy I received to review.
The blurb:
Bar owner Luke Doyle has his own issues to deal with but as he shows Mia the sites of her new city he also shows her what real romance looks like for the first time. And when he cooks up a signature cocktail in her honour, she realises that the man behind the bar is even more enticing than any of his creations. And once she’s had a taste she knows it will never be enough!
Contemporary Romance
Fiction
My thoughts:
Mr Right Across the Street is the fourth book I've read by Freeman and yet another one that I've enjoyed. The blurb, the attractive cover, and knowing that I enjoy Freeman's writing made me jump at the chance to read it ahead of publication.I enjoyed this story, although it's a bit racier than my usual taste in romances. The characters are well drawn, and I could relate to Mia's insecurities shaping her decision-making.
Mr Right Across the Street is told in the third person, from the points of view of both the main characters, Mia and Luke, and with occasional insights into what they are thinking - which sometimes is not what they are actually saying. I found it very easy to like Mia but it took a little longer to feel comfortable with Luke.
Mia does not aspire to be a glamourous clotheshorse. She is what she is - a website designer, unconcerned with fashion, and a bit of a geek. She has moved from Somerset to Manchester to put distance between her an her ex, Pete.
From her window she can see an attractive man in the building opposite working out and is enthralled by what she sees. But to begin with, her only contact in this new city is her curmudgeonly next door neighbour, Stan.
The man she can see is Luke, the new owner of the bar across the street, called 'The Bar Beneath'. He is very personable but has had a string of gorgeous girlfriends, so Mia is understandably wary when he shows an unexpected interest in her. Luke also has business and personal issues which could impact their relationship.
Can two very different people really make it work together? How Mia pushes herself to make new friends and risk her heart again, is beautifully told in this engaging happy-ending story.

 A former pharmacist, I’m now a medical writer who also writes romance. Some days a racing heart is a medical condition, others it’s the reaction to a hunky hero. With two teenage boys and a husband who asks every Valentine’s Day whether he has to buy a card (yes, he does), any romance is all in my head. Then again, his unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always about hearts and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises. |
