Review: The Real Thing: A sweet & clean opposites-attract disabled hero romance in Scotland (The Macleans Book 4) by Autumn Macarthur

About the Book
He's an embittered cynic. She's a perpetually cheerful Pollyanna. They both need to learn what trusting God really means.

Disabled since birth, bullied as a child, Edinburgh author Brodie Maclean has no faith in God, or in human nature. He learned young that his best weapons are his sharp tongue and his biting honesty, and he doesn’t hesitate to use them. When he’s forced to employ Flynn Ferguson as his housekeeper, it’s instant dislike. She’s too cheerful, she’s too loud, she’s too everything. Including distracting. How is he supposed to write with her around?

Even always-look-on-the-bright-side Flynn finds it hard to be glad about her new boss, apart from the little fact the generous salary he pays means she can give her daughter a wonderful birthday. As soon as she can (“Tomorrow, please Lord?”), she’ll quit.

Neither intends to deceive the other, but only when they meet online in an unintentional deception, safe behind names that aren’t their names and photos that aren’t their photos, are they able to be their real selves and fall in love. Can they recognise the truth behind their false impressions before it’s too late?

You’ve Got Mail meets As Good As It Gets meets a mischievous ferret in this faith-filled Scottish enemies-to-love opposites-attract romance.


MY THOUGHTS

I really enjoyed this sweet read. It was so much fun and was filled with a lot of laughs, a ton of heart, and an inspiring message that really resonated with me.

I liked Brodie and Flynn a lot. There was just something so endearing about both of them. Brodie was a bit of a grump at first glance, but he was hiding a heart of gold beneath that gruff exterior. Flynn was cheerful and always tried to look on the bright side of things, even when things weren't all sunshine and roses. You could say they were complete opposites, but they complimented each other so well.

This book left a big smile on my face. And even though it's book four, it stands alone just fine. If you're a fan of sweet romances and Hallmark movies, you're sure to love it!

I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.

FIVE STARS
