At thirty-three-years old Evangeline Starling’s life in Chicago is missing that special something. And when she’s passed over for promotion at work, Evie realizes she needs to make a change.

REVIEW:MUCH ADO ABOUT YOU by Samantha Young is a contemporary, adult, romance story line focusing on twenty-six year old English rancher Roane Robson, and thirty-three year old American editor Evangeline ‘Evie’ Starling.

Told from first person perspective (Evie) MUCH ADO ABOUT YOU follows thirty-three year old Evangeline Starling in the wake of another failed attempt at dating, and losing a promotion to someone younger. When the opportunity to spend a few weeks in England surfaces, Evie jumps at the opportunity to take over the management of a small-town English bookstore. Enter rancher Roane Robson, the man with whom Evie will fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Evie and Roane, and the potential fall-out as Evie feels betrayed by lies of omission.

Evie Starling has a few rules when it comes to dating, and a few weeks in England finds Evie struggling between head and heart. Never expecting to find love on another continent, Evie quickly succumbs to Roane’s good looks and smooth attempts at seduction and love.Roane Robson owns and works a large ranch on the English countryside but finds himself pulled into the aura that is our story line heroine. Evie quickly becomes the town sweetheart as she works to push lovers together in the midst of her own life falling apart.

The relationship between Roane and Evie is one of immediate attraction but Evie has made a promise to herself not to get involved with another man but Roane has fallen quickly for our story line heroine, and in this Evie finds herself falling for Roane in return. The $ex scenes are passionate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The colorful and captivating secondary and supporting characters include many of the townsfolk that come in and out of our heroine’s life.

MUCH ADO ABOUT YOU is a wonderfully fun and romantic story line. The premise is entertaining and delightful; the romance is flirtatious; the characters are animated and spirited.
