This is the fifth book in the 'I Heart...' series and like the others it didn't disappoint. Lindsey Kelk has written another funny, uplifting, romantic story that you can't help but enjoy. 'I Heart London' meets up with Angela as she is trying to put together her brand new magazine and think about possibly planning her wedding to rock star fiance Alex Reid...maybe, one day.
Angela hasn't been home since fleeing two years ago, boarding a plane with nothing more than her handbag, a bridesmaids dress and a pair of lethal Louboutin heels. She has made a new life for herself in New York, one that she is not prepared to risk, so travelling home for her Mum's birthday is not a thought Angela is relishing.
So when she arrives home only to be treated as though she had never left, she starts to feel her New York life slipping away, almost as though it wasn't really her. But with New Yorker's Alex and best friend Jenny (currently spirraling out of control due to a broken heart) she has a constant reminder - much to the suprise of her family and friends it would seem.
Although, not even in her worst nightmares, could Angela have imagined what would happen during this trip home - could she be returning to New York, in just a weeks time, as Mrs Reid?
Whilst her family seem to be keen to secure Alex's place in the family (and its not hard to see why!), Angela is finding it all a little bit more difficult.
My only criticism of this book, was that there wasn't enough of the supporting characters (mainly Jenny) and, compared to the previous books, the 'drama' as it were, seemed a little bit less dramatic. This is not to say that the story wasn't exciting, it just seemed a little tamer.
On the whole though I really enjoyed this latest catch up with Angela and found it another easy and satifying read, I just hope that Lindsey Kelk doesn't decide to make it the last of the series!
8/10
