Don’t Wanna Fall in Love
Lusetta Nelson
Contemporary Humorous Romance
Imagine having a childhood filled with love, joy, and warmth. Now, imagine what happens when that rug is swept right out from under you, causing you to crash painfully onto the floor and, even after you manage to get back up, your heart decides to stay – bloodied, broken, covered in cat hair and believing true love is the destroyer of lives. Don’t Wanna Fall in Love is, kind of, like that…but funnier.
Martha Cooper is a beloved nurse during the week but spends her weekends as the lead singer for a popular cover band called The Cover Stealers. Thanks to a not-so-happy childhood, she keeps her romantic relationships casual and free from complications but, after years of being perfectly content with that situation, Logan Ashford enters her life and makes it clear he’s not looking for casual. Since Martha enjoys how she feels in his presence, she can’t bring herself to keep her distance but concocts a list of rules to abide by in order to protect her heart. While Logan’s charming and thoughtful nature chips away at said rules, Martha must make the difficult choice to pick her lint-covered heart back up off the floor or let go of her chance at true love.
Uncaged Review: Martha works as a nurse during the week, and most weekends she fronts a cover band. Been burned in love before, Martha keeps a tight lid on romance in her life, until Logan comes along. Logan does his best to woo Marha and gets in well with the band and her friends. The nursing home people where Martha works during the week are some of my favorite characters in the book.
This book was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed it for the most part. It had a bit of a slow start but did get funnier and the pace picked up as the story went along. I didn’t laugh out loud, but there were some nice memorable moments that had me smiling. A good romantic comedy for a weekend read. Reviewed by Cyrene
