Love Comes Calling by Siri Mitchell

A friend of mine first introduced me to Siri Mitchell and I think I've read every book by her since then.  One day, I'll go back and read all of her earlier books.  I am always sucked into her books from the very first paragraph.  This book was no exception.

Ellis is a girl that was definitely fun to read about her thoughts and her train of thought.  I could see how her parents and teachers, and probably friends, could be exasperated with her.  Knowing her thoughts made Griffin Phillips really seem like a prince after all that he overlooked.

I had many favorite scenes, but I loved the lengths she went to in order to avoid Griffin.  I laughed out loud at many of her escapes.  I did feel bad for her because she felt like everything she did turned out wrong and that she wasn't pleasing anyone.

I can't imagine being thrown into the role of a telephone operator and being expected to know it all with only a few minutes training. That's another part I found funny, as well! 

Ellis is one of those girls that would drive me crazy, but that I couldn't help but love.  Her thought and attention are so scattered!  It was very clear that she had ADHD and no one knew what to do with her!  I found the Prohibition part interesting as well... as far as the poor being punished and at the rich being let of the hook.

Unrivaled by Siri Mitchell

I was instantly drawn to this book by the name of the author first and secondly, the cover of this book.  It is beautiful and simple.  The blue in the girls dress is just enough to draw your eye and for me, made me not able to wait to read this book.

I like Siri Mitchell a lot.  She is an excellent storyteller and that still holds true through this book.  She captured me from the start and left me wanting to read more of her stories.  I personally liked the humor that was thrown into this book through the way of both Lucy and Charlie's inner thoughts.  Lucy had me laughing at the things she did.

I would call this a romance novel just because there is romance, but it's not the typical "lovey-dovey" romance that you think of when you hear that word.  There's a lot more going on than just the romance.  I liked the "business" thrown into it and how they are competitors.

As usual, I'm left anxious to read her next novel!  To see more opinions about this book, go to http://litfusegroup.com/join-the-flock/current-campaign-codes.

More about Unrivaled:  

Lucy Kendall returns from a tour of the Continent, her luggage filled with the latest fashions and a mind fired by inspiration. After tasting Europe's best confections, she's sure she'll come up with a recipe that will save her father's struggling candy business and reverse their fortunes. But she soon discovers that their biggest competitor, the cheat who swindled her father out of his prize recipe, has now hired a promotions manager-a cocky, handsome out-of-towner who gets under Lucy's skin.

Charlie Clarke's new role at Standard Manufacturing is the chance of a lifetime. He can put some rough times behind him and reconnect with the father he's never known. The one thing he never counted on, however, was tenacious Lucy Kendall. She's making his work life miserable...and making herself impossible for him to forget.
