Gretchen

Love in Somerset #3

by Shelly Ferguson

I had the perfect life until I accepted a dare to talk to a stranger in a bar.

Getting pregnant while transforming a rundown farm into a dream wedding venue wasn’t on my to-do list. Neither was dealing with vandals, a territorial goat, or a homeless Fossee Grim, but I put on my big girl panties and dealt with all of it just fine on my own.

The one thing I wasn’t ready to deal with? My very own version of Mr. Darcy forcing his way into my life when he found out.

Gretchen is the third novel in the Love In Somerset Series by Shelly Ferguson. I rolled a secret baby, Mr. Darcy, and a slow-burn romance all into this incredible book.

Get it now to find out what mythical creature is lurking in his middle!

I enjoyed this new "Love In Somerset" story! I loved Nicco and Gretchen's story! it's fun, with small town charm and a bit of mystery. Great chemistry and a few surprises along the way. The story is nicely developed and well written. I love the characters.

Another great book to the Love In Somerset series. The author once again brings strong,well developed characters and weaves another small town romance filled with tons of drama and emotions. She gives Gretchen and Nicco a hot chemistry , adds in a cast of supporting characters and delivers another enjoyable story. I loved and would recommend this book/series.

Super adorable story about a woman who thought she had control of her little life when everything changes because of a big, strong, handsome man walking into her life and making a big mess but of course this is romance it’s totally for the better! I love Gretchen and her small army of magical and non magical creatures who would do anything to protect her. If you’ve read the others it’s nice to read a story about a character who seems to always be around helping out. Everyone deserves their fairy tale ending!

This story is so charming! A truly wonderful book! Gretchen and Nicco were such great characters, I loved their interactions, and they were perfect for each other. I adored Shelly’s writing style, she created an interesting storyline and gave each character and magical creature a personality that you will fall in love with. I recommend you read it for yourself you won't be disappointed! I can't wait to read more from this author!

Gretchen is the first book I have read by Shelley Ferguson and it was wonderful romance that offers a lot of small town charm, a goat, mystery, family and friends. This is Nicco and Gretchen story they are both enjoyable characters along with all of side characters that are well written. Their attraction was strong and their chemistry generated lots of sparks. The storyline was engaging and fun but offers a solid amount of drama and emotional turmoil as this couple relationship evolves into more than they ever imagined. I cannot wait for the next book!

The third book in the Love In Somerset series a well written story that kept me turning pages. Gretchen Albright had a one night stand with Minotaur shifter and Prince Nicco Green these two will have a lot to overcome. Suspense, drama, danger, dark witches, paranormal beings,a romance book club – the Crazy Cats, and romance. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wonderful story! I need to read the other books in the series. The author really brought out the characters. I laughed and just wanted to keep on reading. You will enjoy this book that is kind of like Pride and Prejudice in a way.

A sweet paranormal story in the Somerset series. Gretchen has spunk and is a character I couldn't help but love. Nico is a Minotaur prince with dark looks that will win you little by little.
I feel for the secondary characters, there's no way around it.

Gretchen is the third book in the Love In Somerset series and is a sweet paranormal romance story.

The characters are well developed, charming, and lovable. The storyline is well written and entertaining, with humour, friendship, the Crazy Cat Book Club, a hot minotaur, surprises, and a chance for a forever kind of love.

This is the third book in the series but can easily be read on its own. I thought this was a really good romance and thought that Gretchen and Nicco were wonderful characters and so good together but misunderstanding keeps these two apart will they get their happy ever after. This was a great read I would recommend it. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series.

Another amazing book

I have to say that I love a secret baby book, more than that I love a good plot twist. This book did not disappoint. The deeper I get I to the world of Somerset, the more convinced I am that I need to move there permanently (too bad I'm a northern girl at heart, the summer would kill me). This incredible group of friends impress me at every term. I love that there are so many supportive female characters, that the man doesn't take over our heroines life, but learns to fit within it, and find the compromise. I can't wait to see what Shelly has in-store for these girls next!

Romance with Sass

This book was a good fast passed read. I've enjoyed the two books before it in this series as well. There is a disappointing trend in this series, and it fortunately has nothing too do with the inviting setting, or the interesting characters- who are after three books are beginning with to feel like friends... The problem is grammar, and spelling, and word usage. Spell check would find all the "thier's" and it's, and perhaps even the "your"'s where the you're's should be, etc. After 2.5 books I got fed up, but came back because I really do like the storyline and characters. Great books, they just need a little tlc from a proofreader/ copy editor.

Another adorable installment of the Love in Somerset series. My only gripe is not finding out if Gretchen picked the right ring in the minotaur maze. These are light and fluffy and cute. Super easy entertaining reads. This series was exactly what I was looking for when I googled sweet fated mate stories. I will now be buying the rest of the series to binge read. I will probably check out some of the other series by this author as well.

I am not sure that I even know where to begin writing a review for this because it is truly an awesome experience.

I loved everything about it - the characters, the plot, the emotion, the writing.
The author had a tremendous ability in telling the story that had me wanting this book to go on and on.
