review 1: Phoning It In was an interesting mix of a young woman who is feeling unfulfilled after graduating from college and not ending up in the field that she dreamed of being in after she graduated. As well as a love story with many long lasting friendships. Melinda Major works for Forward Horizon Insurance Company with Blaine a guy who is just like a brother she never had. She has a sister Susan who is an attorney but they are not close at all and a mother who is mother who she is just finding out she not the mother she always thought she was but a head in the sand kind of woman. Blaine is tired of the fact that Melinda is never doing anything but staying home so he decides that she needs to get out and live a little. So, he decides they are going out for dinner and danc... moreing to J.J.’s. She finally can’t take it anymore and agrees and invites her best friend since preschool Louisa Carmichael better known as Lou Lou. Lou Lou gets asked out to dance and Blaine sees a blonde making eyes at him so when he starts to leave Scarlett from work, their arch enemy comes to their table and says she wants them to meet her date. She brings him over, Dem her date and his friend, Benoit (Benwah), the sexiest French-Italian man she ever saw. Now this is only part of the book you still have all her growing pains, her neurotic behavior, young love and an insecure woman. Provided by netgalley.com
review 2: Free read - hints of a good story, fairly quick read, decent writing and the H/h relationship is very sweet but it's more about her insecurities more than anything, which were understandable, and yet highly annoying the longer the book went on. But I will say the characters were well defined, I believed in her relationships with her family and friends. I even give it points for not ending on a cliffhanger, a bad habit many new writers are falling into. But overall, I would have preferred more of a focus on the romance, and less on her inner monologues. She is a difficult heroine to enjoy, but I can say I know many women just like her. less
