Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

I adored this book. Sorry I never got back sooner my Kindle died!

This book is a follow up which is something I didn't realise at first and so at the start of the book I was somewhat confused by what was going on - why was there a gun pointing at her! - although things were explained later in the book I would recommend that you read A Girl Called Love first

The story takes place in Italy with Florence Love trying to find her mother who was supposed to be dead and it is definitely a roller coaster of a book involving priests, guns mafia the lot but when you do realise what is going on it is a definitely a good fun read. I particularly loved the relationship between Florence and her brother Michael who has special needs and is a great character

Something I didn't realise when I requested this book on Netgalley is that it's actually the follow-up to A Girl Called Love which I haven't read. This made me a little nervous that I wouldn't be able to follow the storyline. I have to admit there were moments that left me confused, I could make a guess about what the characters were referring to but I felt like I was missing too much of the back story.

The first pages were all action - there was a church, a priest and a gun but I couldn't figure out how they were all connected. It wasn't until later on in the storyline that this part made sense.

It took me a little while to find my feet with this story but when I did, I was enthralled by the quirky style of writing. I enjoyed piecing together bits of Flo's life as I progressed through the book, she was an interesting character who had a very logical way of thinking. Her quest to find her mum was certainly entertaining - I had no idea what was coming next!

I was taken on quite a journey from Italy to the UK and back again. Throughout it all, my favourite part was the connection between Flo and her brother Michael, the two of them together were pretty much guaranteed to put a smile on my face,

The ending left me on such a teasing cliffhanger. It was one of those moments that leaves you staring at the page for a few minutes while you try to comprehend what just happened.

This was a bizarrely addictive read. There were some confusing moments and some laugh-out-loud moments so all I can say is be prepared for a crazy ride!

Louise Lee's latest Florence Love instalment is Fun with a capital 'F'. Her Entrapment career having come to an abrupt end due to excess media attention, Florence turns her attention to Case 0001, her first ever case, still unsolved- that of the disappearance (possible suicide) of Bambi Love, her mother.

And so the adventure begins, we have priests wielding guns, a road trip (or two) to Italy, and a sexy crime lord (in training), on top of that, it's fast paced, has snappy dialogue, is a laugh a minute with nicely developed characters. I would term this 'quirky with heart', I loved it.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
Keep 'em coming Ms Lee, can't wait for the next one.

I found this book quite confusing to start with. I didn't read the first book in this series and I'm assuming things would have made more sense if I had.

We were thrown straight into the story with Florence about to be killed by a priest, which totally threw me as I had no idea why she was there or what on earth was happening! Then we jump back in time to a week before and find that Florence is actually in Rome to look for her Mother. This is her Mum who supposedly is dead (committed suicide) and her Father / the police / the rest of the world believes she is dead.

There was an awful going on with Florence dashing all over Rome looking for her Mother, then back in the UK, then back in Italy, and I did find it quite hard to keep up with everything as it jumped around a lot and there were quite a few characters in it in both countries. Although things became a bit clearer later in the book and we do eventually find out about her Mother.

Florence Love #2 does not disappoint. Funny and charming. Light easy reading.
