Publication date:07/31/2018
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

I’ll just go on the record right up front and say that I’m a huge Lori Foster fan. Her books have just the right blend of backstory, angst, sweetness, feels and sexy times to satisfy just about any romance reader. Cooper’s Charm is no exception, so it should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that I enjoyed this one a great deal.

If I had to classify Cooper’s Charm, I’d call it a feel-good read. There’s some horrible stuff that happened in the characters’ pasts, but it wasn’t harped on in such detail that it scared me or bummed me out or anything. Just the right amount of detail was given to let me get to know the characters, but there definitely wasn’t TMI. (I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate that. I hate TMI and have had more than one book that gave me nightmares as a result. I’m looking at you, Lisa Gardner.)

Here’s some other stuff I really liked:

1. There are 2 main couples in the story. 2 romances for the price of one! You can’t beat that.
2. There’s a cute rescue beagle. I think all authors should write rescue dogs into their stories. What can it hurt, right?
3. It’s dual point of view, so you get the perspective of both male and female leads. I LOVE dual point of view in a romance.
4. There’s a little mystery thrown in, so even fans of romantic suspense would probably enjoy this one
5. Baxter is my new book boyfriend, and probably the only man I’d ever agree to take SCUBA lessons from. That is all.
6. I’d like to hang out with Ridley. She’s super interesting.   

Long-story-short, this is another winner from an author I’ve come to trust. Cooper’s Charm would make a PERFECT beach read. I’ll definitely be reading the next book in the series. (Please, oh please, oh please make it Maris’s story…)

Full disclosure: I received an ARC from NetGalley at no charge.

Does this book contribute to or help crush the romance stigma?
It’s clean and sober. No rehab needed.
