Drôle , romantique et rafraîchissant , j'ai passé un bon moment même si on devine aisément ce qui va se passer et si par moment c'est un petit peu chaotique.

After reading My Romantic Comedy by Mary Kelly Reed, I was so excited to see what else she has to offer because I fell in love with her work from that series alone. Yet again, she has managed to deliver such an amazing book and you can see just from reading her writing that she is passionate about her work. I honestly, couldn't put this book down and I just wanted to keep reading because there was so much going on and I just loved it. With some books they can go on for a while but there only seems to be little bits that fill here and there, but with Mary's books you don't ever need to worry about getting bored because she has just written it perfectly and you are just hooked from the very first page. Being honest, when I was reading this book in the beginning I had a feeling that this book would end in either two ways but honestly, the way that it was written had me guessing the whole way through, but she managed to surprise me the entire time. The characters were relatable and funny, and I can't wait to see what else happens in the rest of this series. If you haven't read Mary's work before, then I highly suggest you go ahead and do so as I know you won't be disappointed.
All Amy has wanted to do since leaving Ethan is find a guy who she can just move on with, you'd think that would be easy right? Well apparently, not, there's still something lurking in the background and whilst it's been three years since they broke up Amy can't seem to keep a relationship with any guy she's been with since. So instead of letting things keep failing in the love department, she has decided to go ahead and see if she can put the past behind her and do all she can to move on for good. However there seems to be some obstacles in her way. Will she be able to achieve her task or will she fail before she's even started.

Being quarantined where I live for over a year, I am grateful for Mary Kelly Reed whisking me away to charming and picturesque Santorini! Blue Harmony clicked all of my boxes for Mediterranean romance and deep friendships, with all the offerings of a five star vacation! Mary spared no details in giving only her best of research to this book, Amy, an interior designer is blessed by four devoted friends Allison, Zoe and Arianna are her allies in concocting several ploys to pay back Ethan for cheating on Amy. Their adequate advice, sincere caring and total loyality to Amy impresses me to the extent that it formed one of the aspect why I enjoyed this book so much. Mary allots ample time for us to familiarize ourselves with Ethan and Amy by their many sightseeing jaunts adds another reason why I would recommend " Blue Harmony ". Not to downplay our hero's role too, Ethan, a successful business owner, impressive knowledge, patience, supportive and never allowed a broken heart to prevent him from his capacity to woo Amy once again. Incase you miss flying and had to curb your wanderlust, "Blue Harmony " will be that vacation book substitute for great Greek food and wine, aquamarine waters of the Aegean sea and parties until dawn with a very healthy dose of romance!
Thanks to the author for presenting me with this ARC opportunity for which my review is totally voluntary.

A very quick escape read that will allow you to take a vacation with good friends without leaving home. This light romance is more about being true to oneself rather than finding the love of one's life. Three best friends take an annual vacation together, with a twist.
This is Amy's turn to choose a destination. She decides to find out where her ex-boyfriend has gone and confront him on how their relationship ended.
The characters remind me of the great friends written by Addison Cole, loyal to the end, yet willing to speak their minds. Ethan, the ex, seems equally like a great boyfriend and also like a clueless man, even though he has built a successful business. His brother, Paul, seems ore the playboy type, but I can sense a sensitivity about him. I look forward to reading his story.
Mary Kelly Reed infuses the book with descriptive bits of history that make me long to visit new places.
There will be moments when you want to SLAP each character, so settle in to a comfortable spot with a cool drink. This is a fun page turner.

I didn’t care for Amy at all. She was immature, irrational, quick to assume the worst, and had a tendency to run off at the mouth. The little “twist” at the end caused me to like her even less and had me sympathizing with Ethan’s mother a bit because I would not want my son to date someone like her either. With Ethan’s constant need to reassure Amy of his love, even when he gave her no reason to doubt him in the first place, I don’t see this relationship even lasting. Ethan deserves better. He was correct when he said he wasn’t the reason their relationship ended in the first place and that they were basing their new relationship on sex. That’s all we get to see of their relationship in this book any way, past, present, and future. Even Amy’s friends call her on her crap. If Amy and Ethan ever had a great relationship I did not see it.
I skipped parts of the books because it’s filled with tour guide information about the area that I was not interested in.
I need to stop reading free ebooks; most of them are not worth reading. :/

Blue Harmony is a delightful second chance romantic comedy. It is also a story of friendship, trust, misunderstandings and honesty set in an absolutely stunning location. The descriptions of Santorini and some of its history adds another dimension to this book. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to finding out how Zoe and Allison get on when they get their chance to do one thing differently. I definitely recommend this book.

Armonia Blu è il primo volume della serie Contemporary Romance, My Day chiamata così per il nome del progetto che le tre amiche protagoniste decidono di intraprendere.
Amy e le sue due amiche Zoe e Allison vanno in vacanza a Santorini, una bellissima isola greca. La destinazione è stata scelta da Amy ma non per caso. Amy, infatti, ha scelto quel posto perché sta cercando un confronto con Ethan, il suo ex per chiudere con il passato e guardare avanti. I due si sono lasciati tre anni prima senza aver mai chiarito la fine della loro relazione e da allora Amy non è più riuscita a fidarsi degli uomini. Proprio questo suo piano, dà l’idea per un blog dove raccontare le esperienze di chi vuole una nuova possibilità per poter cambiare qualcosa che rimpiange di non aver fatto in passato e continua a rimuginarci.
I volumi possono essere letti singolarmente perché sono storie d’amore autoconclusive, ma ogni volume introduce personaggi che poi diventeranno protagonisti in quelli successivi. Per esempio, incontreremo Paul, il fratello di Ethan, che sarà il protagonista maschile del quarto volume e via di seguito.
La storia è molto leggera e con un’ambientazione estiva. Non presenta risvolti imprevedibili o una trama intricata, anzi, probabilmente la questione tra Ethan e Amy si sarebbe potuta risolvere in poche pagine (facendo una semplice chiacchierata) ma l’autrice ha fatto in modo di inserire continui espedienti e fraintendimenti per evitare subito il confronto tra i due protagonisti. A proposito dei due, la loro caratterizzazione è appena abbozzata ma almeno non sono irritanti.
Uno degli aspetti più interessanti del romanzo è che l’isola di Santorini non è semplicemente uno sfondo, anzi, spesso e volentieri l’autrice si perde nelle descrizioni delle bellezze del posto (monumenti, cibi, spiagge etc. etc.).
Una commedia romantica molto leggera.

BLUE Harmony.
I really enjoyed this book. I was starting to get equal parts annoyed, though, with all the time it took to come to a resolution. Thank God for Paul and Zoe helping the main characters come to reason. That said, the descriptions of the Santorini landscapes made you feel like you were on the adventure too. I do love a happy ending. I would be tempted to se.he the mother a giant cactus every year on her birthday.

Amy adventures to Santorini with her two best friends in hopes of confronting her ex-boyfriend, Ethan.
Loved the premise of the book, but it was very messy. Mainly Amy, her choices and the lack of communication between her and Ethan were very frustrating.
It's a nice quick read if you don't think too much into it. Anyway, the book really does show how trust is so important in relationships and how communication is key.

Stirring up the past - good idea??
Amy needs to confront her ex in order to get closure, to move forward. Smart? Or… a big mistake? Because not everything goes as she had planned…
It was an enjoyable read. Lighthearted and fun. I really liked it. I liked the banter between Amy and her friends and - lucky me - the next books are to be about those friends! I’m looking forward to it.

An interesting story. Amy decides to confront an old boyfriend she felt cheated on her years earlier. Ethan and his family are vacationing on this beautiful island resort. His Mother is a meddlesome witch who. Schemes to keep them apart. Unexpected things happen to make it a good story. I gave it 4 stars

What an utterly enchanting concept! I really enjoyed this novel, the premise of the series, and the introduction to three fantastic characters (each of whom has their own book, with this one primarily being the book of one character). The entire romance was sweet and sassy and lots of fun.

Blue Harmony is a great romantic comedy set in the beautiful Greek islands with very engaging characters. The book is well written. Once i started it, I could not put it down! I highly recommend this as great escapist fiction!

I was blessed with a free copy of this book; all opinions expressed are my own.
This was a bit of a predictable read; girl and guy end up back together. But, the journey back to each other contained some twists and turns.
Overall: a good read.

Amy choice for a vacation this year, and it was Santorini, with Zoe and Alliso . The real reason I hadn’t told them, the name Ethan, to stand up to him for the break up so she can move on. The plan back fired once she seen him again. Cute story, set in beautiful island setting of .Santorini.

Perfect romance
Things aren't always as they seem. This perfect romance has Amy and Ethan going through a troubled time based on lack of trust and misunderstanding. Will they ever work things out. Set in a beautiful paradise with great descriptions.

Storyline was good but book could have been half as long. I ended up skimming it and almost didn’t finish it. In the end I did and am glad to be done with it!

Sweetest romantic book I ever read. I hated how the main characters had to suffer for the attempt to separate them but they were so in love. I loved the story and everyone in it.

Entertaining
This is a story of what can go wrong when trust isn't enough in a relationship. There is a meddling mother, a deceitful coworker and two separated lovers.

Sex and the City meets Santorini
My only criticism of this book is that it is too short. Good descriptions of Greece but the characters could have been fleshed out a little more.

The heroine is a 27-year old child
The heroine is a 27-year old child. Beyond stupid in what she says and does. I struggled up to 25% of this idiocy and gave up. A waste of time.

The characters wear endearing and funny. I laughed and cried (a little hard to read through my tears at one point) and thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved all the feels!
