I loved this story. The way Ellie and Jude fell for each other was cute and so perfect. I loved watching the two build up her failing business and completely rebranded it as their own.
Alexandra Reed is a new to me author and I am so glad that have had the opportunity to get lost in world that she created. Pineapple Crush is a sweet love story that will stay in my heart and mind for a long time. I found myself getting lost in the pages of this book and not wanting to come back to reality.
Alexandra Reed gives her reader a perfect mix of American and British humor. I loved reading about Ellie and Jude's budding love story.
This story was truly a breath of fresh air and I look forward to reading more from Alexandra in the very near future!! I highly recommend this story!!!
If you are looking for a feel-good story this is it! Ellie and Jude hit it off quickly. I loved how sweet they were to one another from the start. Jude's plan to re-brand Ellie's business had me intrigued and I was happy to see how all of that played out. The ending was perfect!
An amazing story about learning to trust and finding love. Ellie and Jude are such wonderful characters. Pineapple Crush is a great book that will make any reader want more of these characters. A definite five star read.
What happens when a failing business and the owner meet a big-wig's PA? Just about ANYTHING especially when the other shoe dropping feels too close for comfort.
This book reads like a crude version of a Harlequin Romance. And I do mean crude.
Boy and girl meet, boy and girl instantly have the hots for each other, which then slides downward into crude and somewhat graphic sex scenes portrayed with the kind of language I would expect from a lonely long-haul trucker or a sex-starved prison inmate.
I've always told myself that I will read from start to finish every book I pick up in order to give an honest review. The above is as honest as I could make it. Sorry, Ms. Reed.
